‘Shogun’, ‘The Bear’

FX shows Shogun and The Bear lead the 76th Emmys nominations with 25 and 23 nods apiece, followed by Hulu’s Only Murders In The Building with 21.

Also looking strong after Wednesday’s nominations announcement are HBO/Max’s True Detective: Night Country on 19, Netflix’s The Crown on 18, The Morning Show at Apple TV+ and HBO / Max’s Hacks on 16 each, FX’s Fargo on 15, Netflix’s Ripley on 13, and Netflix’s British show Baby Reindeer on 11.

Apple TV+ detective series Slow Horses picked up its first ever nine nominations on the day, while The Crown is historically the most nominated show with 87 nods over the years.

Japanese period epic Shogun will contest the drama series category with The Crown, Slow Horses, and The Morning Show from Apple TV+, among others.

Heading into the 76th annual ceremony on September 15, ABC’s Abbott Elementary (nine nods) is in contention for comedy series honours alongside The Bear, HBO/Max’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hulu’s Only Murders In The Building, and FX show What We Do In The Shadows (eight nods).

Baby Reindeer is one of five nominees in the limited or anthology series category with FX’s Fargo, Netflix stablemate Ripley, HBO/Max’s True Detective: Night Country, and Apple TV+ show Lessons In Chemistry.

The Morning Show co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are up for lead dramatic actress with Anna Sawai from Shogun and Imelda Staunton for The Crown.

British stars are scattered through the categories and are writ large in the dramatic actor race with Idris Elba representing Apple TV+ show Hijack, Gary Oldman recognised for Slow Horses and Dominic West earning a nod for The Crown, alongside Hiroyuki Sanada for Shogun.

Comedy actress nominees include Ayo Edebiri for The Bear, Quinta Brunson for Abbott Elementary and Selena Gomez for Only Murders In The Building. The actor category features Larry David for Curb Your Enthusiasm, Jeremy Allen White for The Bear, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai for FX’s Reservations Dogs, and Steve Martin and Martin Short for Only Murders In The Building.

Sofia Vergara has earned a limited or anthology series or movie lead actress nod for Netflix show Griselda and becomes the second Latina actress nominated in the category. She goes against Jodie Foster for True Detective: Night Country, Juno Temple for FX’s Fargo, Naomi Watts for FX show Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, and Brie Larson for Lessons In Chemistry.

The lead actor contest pits Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd against Andrew Scott for Ripley and Tom Hollander for Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, among others.

History was made in the supporting actress in a limited series of anthology movie category as Lily Gladstone (Hulu’s Under The Bridge) and Kali Reis (HBO / Max’s True Detective: Night Country) became the first Indigenous women nominated for Emmys acting honours.

Selena Gomez’s nomination for Only Murders In The Building in comedy series lead actress sees her become the fourth Latina actress to earn a nod in the category. Gomez served as executive producer on the show and it was nominated for best comedy series for the third year in a row, making Gomez the most-nominated Latina producer in Emmys history. She is on a roll this year after sharing the Cannes best actress prize for Emilia Perez.

Nava Mau becomes the first trans woman to earn a nod in the limited series or anthology movie supporting actress category for Baby Reindeer.

Eligible shows must have aired between June 2023 and May 2024
