Emmy nominations were announced Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, with 'Pluribus' poised to be a record-setting freshman, 'The Pitt' aiming for a dominant sophomore season, and 'Hacks' set for a graduation celebration. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Recent winners Liza Colón-Zayas and Jeff Hiller named the nominees at the Television Academy. The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, airing on NBC, will be held Sept. 14 at the Peacock Theater. Mariska Hargitay will host.
HBO Max's 'The Pitt' won big last year, including best drama series, best actor for Noah Wyle, and best supporting actress for Katherine LaNasa. The series returns for a second season. Wyle and LaNasa are expected to receive new nominations.
'Pluribus,' the Apple TV+ series from Vince Gilligan, could break the 32-year-old record for most Emmy nominations for a debut season, set by 'NYPD Blue' with 26 in 1994. Rhea Seehorn is the favorite for best actress, and Karolina Wydra is a strong supporting actress contender.
'Hacks' enters its fifth and final season. Jean Smart has won best actress in a comedy for all four previous seasons and is expected to win again. Hannah Einbinder and Paul W. Downs are also likely nominees.
Harrison Ford could win his first Emmy for 'Shrinking,' with Jason Segel also a likely nominee. Apple TV+ may have three best comedy series nominees: 'Shrinking,' 'Margo's Got Money Troubles,' and 'Widow's Bay.'
Netflix's 'Beef' is a contender in the limited series categories, competing against FX's 'Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.'
