Welcome back to What I’m Hearing, and a reminder to TV Academy members that Emmy voting begins today. Here are my five random questions about this year’s race:

1. Can Netflix’s Beef overcome co-star David Choe’s recirculated podcast anecdote about sexually assaulting a masseuse? (He later claimed the story is fictional.)

2. Is it possible that two Star Wars shows, Andor and The Mandalorian, crack the drama series category in the race to lose out to Succession?

3. With seven-time talk series winner John Oliver booted to the “scripted variety series” category opposite SNL, which host will take the chat-show title?

4. Can voters admit to themselves that two-time comedy winner Ted Lasso’s third season was not good at all?

5. Amid the strike, will the Emmys actually happen on Sept. 18?
