Nominations for the 77th Emmy Awards were announced on July 15 from the Wolf Theatre in the Saban Media Center, the result of the largest voting member turnout in the history of the Emmys.

The live ceremony was hosted by Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song along with Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego.

“In a year when the industry has continued to evolve – creatively, structurally and economically – one thing remains clear. Powerful performances and compelling stories still cut through. Emmy voters took notice this year as more members voted in the competition than ever before,” Abrego said. “It’s a reminder of the impact incredible television and exceptional artists have on all of us. We’re looking forward to recognizing the teams and individuals that rose to the top this season as we celebrate the best of television.”

“The Studio” tied the record for the most nominations in a single year in the comedy category with 23 (set by “The Bear” in 2024), and “Severance” led this year’s drama category with 27 nominations.

At 15, first-time nominee Owen Cooper (“Adolescence”) is the youngest nominee in the history of the outstanding supporting actor in a limited/anthology series or TV movie category.
