Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 77th Emmy Awards live this morning at 8:30 a.m. PT.

The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place Sept. 14 at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles (originally known as the Nokia.)

Harvey Guillén, actor who starred in What We Do in the Shadows, and Brenda Song from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody announced the winners on a livestream on Emmys.com.

Nominees for two categories, outstanding reality competition program and outstanding talk series were announced earlier this morning on CBS Mornings (check out those nominations below).

Highlights:

Severance from Apple TV+ led the pack with 27 nominations, closely followed by HBO's The Penguin with 24.

The Studio from Apple TV+ and HBO's White Lotus garnered 23.

(In case you're wondering: the record for most nominations ever belongs to Game of Thrones, which received 32 nominations in 2019).

Seth Rogen, co-creator of The Studio personally got three nominations — for acting, writing and directing.

Netflix’s Adolescence got 13 nominations, including one for supporting actor for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, playing a 13-year-old suspected of a killing.

Director Martin Scorsese was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor after performing as himself on The Studio.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
