While it’s not unusual for the same handful of shows and actors to win over and over again, this year is a more wide-open field than we have had in a while, with a number of last year’s big winners no longer eligible for consideration. That’s because Succession, Ted Lasso, and Better Call Saul all ended last year, and shows like Beef and The Last of Us didn’t get a new season out during the consideration period for nomination. There are still some previous winners and nominees — The Bear, Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building, and The Crown among them — ready to get back in the race, though.
“We are here to recognize the exceptional work that aired between June of 2023 and May of 2024, all leading up to television’s biggest night,” said Emmys boss Chris Abrego ahead of the nominations. “Today, I’m honored to celebrate the astonishing work of our…creative community.”
In the drama category, where there are relatively few returning candidates eligible for a nomination, a number of big hits are poised to jump into the fray. Series like Shogun have been celebrated by audiences and critics since they aired, but everyone has been wondering if they’ll make the list. Today, we found out.
Fan-favorite series Baby Reindeer got a nomination, and Ripley — Netflix’s black-and-white adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Andrew Scott — did pretty well for itself, too.
By the time the smoke cleared, The Bear — which dominated in its categories last year — earned 23 total nominations (including writing, directing, and technical categories). That’s more than any comedy series has ever nabbed in one year. Shōgun was similarly dominant, earning 25 total nods (which wasn’t a record in the drama category in spite of being two ahead of The Bear‘s record-breaking pace).
You can see a full list of all the key categories below, and a breakdown of all nominations (including technical categories and other things unlikely to make the telecast) here.
