Washington [US], July 18 (ANI): The stage is set for another thrilling Emmy Awards ceremony, as the nominations for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled earlier today.
Leading the prestigious list is FX’s epic series ‘Shogun’, which secured an impressive 25 nominations, including the coveted Best Drama Series category, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
This achievement not only underscores the show’s impact but also sets new records within the industry.
In a closely contested lineup, other notable contenders include FX’s ‘The Bear’ with 23 nominations, marking a new comedy series record.
Hulu’s ‘Only Murders in the Building’ follows closely with 21 nods, while HBO/Max’s ‘True Detective: Night Country’ and Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ round out the top nominations with 19 and 18, respectively, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The diversity of nominees reflects a competitive year across platforms, with Netflix emerging as the frontrunner with a total of 107 nominations spread across 35 different programmes.
FX follows closely with 93 nominations from nine programmes, while HBO and Apple TV+ secure 91 and 72 nominations respectively. Notably, The Walt Disney Co. achieved a personal-best tally of 183 Emmy nominations across its diverse portfolio of networks and streaming services.
This year’s nominees were announced at the El Capitan Theatre by Tony Hale, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Television Academy chair Cris Abrego in a ceremony streamed live to viewers worldwide.
During the announcement of this year’s nominees, Abrego surprised ‘Abbott Elementary’ star Sheryl Lee Ralph with news of her nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, adding to the anticipation of the upcoming awards.
The 76th Emmy Awards are scheduled to broadcast live from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 15, airing on ABC from 5-8 p.m. PT/8-11 p.m. ET.
Preceding the main event, the Creative Arts ceremonies will take place on September 7 and 8, where numerous technical and creative achievements will be celebrated, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In 2023, due to industry strikes, the Emmys were postponed and held in January 2024. Notable winners included HBO’s ‘Succession’, FX’s ‘The Bear’, and Netflix’s ‘Beef’, with all three shows recognised for their outstanding writing and directing.
With ‘Succession’ concluding its acclaimed run, this year’s drama category promises a fresh lineup of contenders.
To qualify for the 2024 Emmy Awards, television programmes had to air between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024, ensuring that the awards continue to reflect the best in recent television production, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
