The 2024 Emmy nominees were announced this morning.
‘Shogun’ leads the pack with 25 nominations.
Other big favorites include ‘The Bear’ and ‘The Crown’.

The 2024 Emmy Award nominees were announced this morning by ‘Veep’ veteran Tony Hale, ‘Abbott Elementary’ regular Sheryl Lee Ralph and Television Academy chair Cris Abrego in a ceremony at Los Angeles’ El Capitan Theatre in a ceremony that was also livestreamed.

And, as is typical for the Television Academy, it represents a scattering of returning big-hitters (‘The Bear’ and ‘The Crown’), but particularly, now the likes of ‘Succession’ have left our screens, the nominees list is dominated by popular newcomers, including ‘Shōgun’ and TV’s other buzziest series, the Netflix stalker drama ‘Baby Reindeer’.

The overwhelming presence of new shows can be chalked up one-two punch of writers and actors’ strikes, which delayed work on many potential big series –– the likes of ‘House of the Dragon’, ‘The White Lotus’ ‘Yellowjackets’ and ‘The Last of Us’ will all have to wait until 2025’s Emmy season.

“An epic saga of war, passion, and power set in Feudal Japan.”

It was a very good day for cable channel FX, which scored the most nominations for its well-respected novel adaptation ‘Shōgun’.

Perhaps more surprising (though welcome) is the inclusion of series such as ‘Fallout’ –– who would have expected last year that a series boasting a post-apocalyptic blend of comedy, violence and gore would have made such an impact? And Apple’s spy series ‘Slow Horses’, which broke into the Emmy race with a handful of nominations, including for star Gary Oldman.

Notable Nominees

Among the biggest stories of this year’s nominees was Nava Mau, who became the first Latina trans nominee, scoring that for her supporting role in ‘Baby Reindeer’. Indeed, the Netflix limited series did about as well as expected, landing 11 total nominations including Best Limited Series.

On a more tragic emotional note is the nomination for the late Treat Williams, who died in a motorcycle accident in June last year. He’s posthumously nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series for his role in ‘Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.’

Here are the main categories. Who are you hoping takes home a trophy on September 15th, when the awards are handed out?
