Emmy Nominations Announcement Highlights
The emmy nominations process began with early reveals in the reality competition and talk series categories on CBS Mornings, where “Survivor” reclaimed a spot after being snubbed last year. Meanwhile, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” missed out in talk series, making way for returning favorites.
Apple TV+ leads this year’s stats battle, with both “Severance” and “The Studio” projected for as many as 19 or more nominations each. If “The Studio” exceeds 20 nods, it would break records for most nominations by a debut comedy, surpassing “Ted Lasso’s” previous feat.
Netflix is another big player with “Adolescence” in the limited series category and “Black Mirror” again challenging the boundaries of television storytelling. HBO’s “Hacks,” “The White Lotus,” and new drama “The Pitt” are each poised to secure several statuettes during the September ceremony.

|---|---|---|
| Severance | Apple TV+ | 19+ |
| The Pitt | Max | 15+ |
| The Studio | Apple TV+ | 19–20+ |
