What Are the Emmy Awards?
For 76 years, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) have awarded the top shows and actors in TV for their outstanding performances. There are two versions of the Emmy ceremony, one for daytime programming and another for primetime television. This post will be focused on the Primetime Emmy Awards.
Nominations are typically announced at the beginning of July, and the voting period closes at the beginning of September. Only active members of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences can vote for the winners.
Top Nominees at the Emmy’s
No matter the outcome on awards night, FX is already a clear winner this year: the network pulled in 93 nominations, 48 of which came from the top two shows on the nominations list, Shōgun and The Bear, the latter of which set the record for most nominations for a comedy series in Emmy history with 23. The show also won 10 times in 2023.
Check out DIRECTV Insider’s Shōgun Watch Guide and The Bear Watch Guide.
Setting FX’s success aside, Netflix took the top spot for gross nominations with 107, with series like The Crown, Ripley and the controversial Baby Reindeer getting nods.
HBO / Max were third, an unusual position for a network that hasn’t been outside the top two at the Emmys in a long, long time (Like, since the mid-90s long). That’s because the storied network didn’t put out content this year that landed as well as legendary series like The Sopranos, Succession and Game of Thrones. That said, the network is coming off a wildly successful year in 2023 thanks to the likes of The Last of Us, Succession, House of the Dragon and White Lotus.
Fun fact: Due to the last year’s strikes in the entertainment industry, this year’s Emmys saw a massive drop in submissions of eligible series, down 40% over the last year. This will also be the second Emmys ceremony of 2024, since the strikes pushed 2023’s ceremony into January.
