Nominations for the 76th Emmy Awards were announced today from the historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, recognizing remarkable programs, extraordinary performances, and impactful storytelling across multiple platforms.
Getting a sense of Déjà Vu?
You wouldn’t be alone as we just watched Television’s Greatest Night – the 2023 Emmy Awards – in January 2024. This was due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes which postponed the annual September event.
Because of major production delays caused by the strikes, network television essentially went without a scripted fall lineup last year and had either a rushed or truncated spring. The impact was also felt by cable networks and streamers, though it was slightly more difficult to track. So here we are.
“Television delivers stories that connect us, uplift us, challenge us, and always entertain us. Today, I am honored to celebrate the outstanding work of our extraordinarily talented and hardworking creative community,” said Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego. “This morning’s Emmy nominations are a testament to their contributions and highlight the incredible programming that has risen to the top of an exceptional year in TV.”
The live ceremony was hosted by Emmy winners Tony Hale and Sheryl Lee Ralph, along with Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego. Watch the nominations below:
