Overview
- The Television Academy unveiled nominees on Wednesday, with The Pitt receiving 25 nominations and Hacks earning a record 24 nods for a single-season comedy.
- HBO Max led all platforms with 122 nominations, outpacing Netflix and helping cement streaming services as the central force in this year’s race.
- Apple TV+ scored major first-season showings as Widow’s Bay picked up 19 nominations and Pluribus earned 18, signaling fast breakout traction for new series.
- The list included high-profile individual nominations such as a posthumous guest-actor nod for Rob Reiner, recognition for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, and a nomination for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert special.
- Process and eligibility issues shaped the field: two actors from The Pitt self-submitted and won nominations after HBO omitted them from its ballot, and some shows such as Heated Rivalry were ruled ineligible because they were financed entirely in Canada.
