The 2025 Emmy Award nominations are now out — 'Severance' leads the pack

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.
Actor Harrison Ford got his first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Shrinking from Apple TV+.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
