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.

Topline:

Emmy nominations were revealed on Wednesday morning, and while FX and Netflix made out well, other services and networks faltered.

FX’s Big Day: The big winner of the day was FX, which scored 93 nominations, the most in the network’s history. Expected FX heavyweights The Bear and Shogun each delivered the most nominations in the comedy and drama series categories, respectively, while surprise series and actor nominations for What We Do in the Shadows and Reservation Dogs were the icing on the cake. Still, Netflix, due to its sheer breadth of titles, earned the most nominations of any network or streamer with 107.

Who got snubbed: Though Shogun and The Bear dominated most categories, Cosmo Jarvis, who played a British expat in Shogun, was denied a nomination. Meanwhile Abby Elliott, Oliver Platt, and Matty Matheson didn’t make the cut for their performances on The Bear. Other acting snubs included The Gilded Age’s deep roster of Broadway talent and Ella Purnell for Fallout. Paramount and Showtime, meanwhile, missed the cut on all but a limited series score nomination, falling short on titles like Lawmen: Bass Reeves and The Curse.

The Oscar halo: The recent nominees and winners from this year’s Oscars were a mixed bag when it came to the Emmy nominations. On the one hand, Oscar winners Robert Downey, Jr. and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, as well as nominees Lily Gladstone, Jodie Foster and Ryan Gosling scored nominations for their television performances. But Emma Stone, Annette Benning and Paul Giamatti all fell short for their respective series, signaling an Oscar nomination isn’t a surefire route to an Emmy nomination, too.
