After another year of enough TV to fill ten awards shows, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences members have made their picks for the crème de la crème. Emmy nominations are in, and they’re sure to ignite some chatter about who has been snubbed and who is awards-season bait. With an eligibility period of June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022, buzzy shows — The White Lotus, Squid Game, Barry, Succession, Pachinko, Abbott Elementary, Hacks, Ted Lasso, Russian Doll, Only Murders in the Building, Yellowjackets, and a bevy of limited series (we’ll spare you another list; there’s seriously that much TV) — were all eligible, but only a handful were recognized.
The live virtual ceremony was hosted by Emmy Award–winning actor JB Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), together with the Television Academy Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma. Succession leads the pack with 25 nominations, followed by Ted Lasso and The White Lotus with 20 noms apiece. Comedy series Hacks and Only Murders in the Building were also among the most nominated with 17 each. Meme-legend scene-stealer Sydney Sweeney was recognized in the acting categories for her turns in Euphoria and The White Lotus, while Squid Game actors, including Lee Jung-jae and Jung Ho-yeon, scored their first noms. Abbott Elementary earned well-deserved honors for creator-star Quinta Brunson & Co.: co-stars Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph are competing against each other in the supporting-actress category.
And which streamer will take home the most statues? Find out when the Emmys take place on Monday, September 12. The ceremony will be streamed live on NBC from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Below, the full list of nominees for the 74th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Did your favorite make it?
