Disappointment is standard. Elation? Rare, but it happens. Overall, though, the 78th Emmy Awards nominations yielded a typical slate of choices.<\/p>

Read more Trump family grift now extends to guns<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a polite way of saying there were few major category surprises \u2014 and I realize many \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d fans may find offensive.<\/p>\n

\n

Very few of this year\u2019s nominations qualify as unpredictable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But where are my manners? I\u2019ll start over: Greetings to all you Ilya and Shane shippers, fans of \u201cThe Madison\u201d and other loyal subjects of snubbed shows and performers who tuned in to Wednesday\u2019s nominations announcement livestream. Maybe you had high hopes, only to watch them crash against the sky-high cliffs of calcified Television Academy voters\u2019 habits. Maybe, for some reason, you\u2019re newly invested in this whole Emmy nominations business and found the results confusing.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s the case, you are not alone. But you should also know that very few of this year\u2019s nominations qualify as unpredictable. Emmy voters love repeat winners and nominees, which is why most of the categories have a very \u201cthe gang\u2019s all here\u201d vibe about them. \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d last year\u2019s best drama winner, leads the pack with 25 nominations, including another best actor nod for Noah Wyle. Its HBO Max sibling \u201cHacks\u201d scored 24 nominations for its fifth season swan song, setting a new record for the top comedy category.<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s \u201cThe Diplomat,\u201d Hulu\u2019s \u201cParadise\u201d and Apple TV\u2019s \u201cSlow Horses\u201d are repeat best drama nominees, as expected. Joining them are the HBO powerhouses \u201cThe Gilded Age\u201d and \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,\u201d along with Apple TV\u2019s \u201cYour Friends and Neighbors\u201d and last year\u2019s biggest prestige TV conversation piece, \u201cPluribus.\u201d<\/p>\n

A more recent Apple TV sleeper, \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay,\u201d netted 19 nods \u2013 one more than \u201cPluribus,\u201d which racked up 18.<\/p>\n

For twice-nominated stars such as \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay\u201d lead Matthew Rhys (who was also tapped for his work in the limited series \u201cThe Beast in Me\u201d) and Nick Offerman (nominated for \u201cMargo\u2019s Got Money Troubles\u201d and the limited series \u201cDeath by Lightning\u201d), the 78th Emmy Awards ceremony is already shaping up to be a very nice night.<\/p>\n

Ditto for Jason Bateman, who has a best actor limited series nod for \u201cBlack Rabbit\u201d and a supporting nom for another limited series, \u201cDTF St. Louis,\u201d as well as Colman Domingo, nominated for \u201cThe Four Seasons\u201d and his \u201cEuphoria\u201d guest star appearance, and Laurie Metcalf, who scored a guest actress nod for \u201cHacks\u201d and a supporting nomination for Netflix\u2019s \u201cMonster: The Ed Gein Story.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s impossible to find fault with Harrison Ford\u2019s supporting actor in a comedy nomination for his superb work in the recent season of \u201cShrinking,\u201d or Rob Reiner\u2019s posthumous nomination for his moving comedy guest star turn on \u201cThe Bear.\u201d Then again, this places Reiner in competition with \u201cShrinking\u201d guest stars Michael J. Fox and Brett Goldstein, Hamish Linklater for his work on \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay,\u201d Christopher McDonald for \u201cHacks\u201d . . . and \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d sensation Connor Storrie, nominated for his hosting stint on \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Emerson Miller\/Paramount+)<\/span> Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn in The Madison.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re baffled by that choice, or Michelle Pfeiffer\u2019s comedy supporting nod for \u201cMargo\u201d while getting nothing for carrying \u201cThe Madison,\u201d you\u2019re right to have very pointed questions.<\/p>\n

Here, then, are a few somewhat informed explanations about (waves hands wildly<\/em>) all this, although they may not make you feel much better.<\/p>\n

Based on the \u201cWE RIDE AT DAWN\u201d tenor of the chat accompanying this morning\u2019s livestream announcements, many people assumed that TV\u2019s biggest cultural phenomenon of the past 12 months would earn some notice from the Television Academy. I don\u2019t mean to snark at your pain when I say this, but that presumption was your first mistake.<\/p>\n

It helps to understand who does the nominating. Variety has a meticulous, by-the-numbers breakdown of the process, but mainly what matters is that in 2026, the Television Academy calls on its 24,000 members and splits them into 31 peer groups to vote within their professional field of expertise.<\/p>\n

All eligible voters can cast ballots in the top races. And whether it\u2019s the Emmys, the Oscars or other awards bodies that make selections based on the input of hundreds or thousands of industry professionals, there will always be a tendency to reward the familiar as opposed to the fresh. If that familiar show is fronted by a known star and made by people\u2019s friends, it\u2019s even more likely it\u2019ll get some love on nominations day.<\/p>\n

Ordinarily, that might explain why \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d didn\u2019t show up among the 14 major categories\u2019 nominees. But the real reason is much simpler. To qualify for an Emmy, a program must be an American production or co-production, and the first season of Shane and Ilya\u2019s romantic arc is as Canadian as a rich poutine.<\/p>\n

With that said, Storrie\u2019s \u201cSNL\u201d nomination is the voters\u2019 way of signaling they\u2019re down to come to the cottage, as it were. If HBO co-produces the second season, \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d may have a shot in the next nominations round.<\/p>\n

Setting one\u2019s expectations as low as the recent ratings for Emmy night telecasts is good practice because the Television Academy is notoriously allergic to change. I\u2019m sure some voters take issue with that characterization, and I\u2019ll concede that the range and variety of nominees have been better in recent years than many others.<\/p>\n

Maybe not this year. Look at the best comedy race, for example. \u201cHacks\u201d is facing off against ABC\u2019s \u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d (again), FX\u2019s \u201cThe Bear\u201d (again), Netflix\u2019s \u201cNobody Wants This,\u201d (again), Hulu\u2019s \u201cOnly Murders in the Building,\u201d (are you seeing a pattern here?) and Apple TV\u2019s \u201cShrinking\u201d (can the choir say: AGAIN-nuh), along with Apple TV\u2019s freshmen \u201cMargo\u2019s Got Money Troubles\u201d and \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the individual acting races, Quinta Brunson from \u201cAbbott\u201d and Ayo Edebiri from \u201cThe Bear\u201d are repeat contenders facing Smart alongside Lisa Kudrow from \u201cThe Comeback\u201d and \u201cMargo\u201d star Elle Fanning, a recent Oscar nominee, in the best comedy actress category. \u201cParadise\u201d star Sterling K. Brown and \u201cSlow Horses\u201d lead Gary Oldman are joined by \u201cTask\u201d star Mark Ruffalo and \u201cThe Diplomat\u201d co-star Rufus Sewell in taking on Wyle for best drama actor.<\/p>\n

The comedy lead actor race is a little more surprising, with 2025 nominees Jason Segel (\u201cShrinking\u201d) and Martin Short (\u201cOnly Murders in the Building\u201d) facing off against Steve Carell (\u201cRooster\u201d), 2026 two-time Emmy nominee Matthew Rhys (\u201cWidow\u2019s Bay\u201d) and, in one of this round\u2019s pleasantly astonishing selections, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II of \u201cWonder Man.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, when half or nearly 50% of the supporting nominees for drama are poured into \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d that speaks of a lack of creative thinking on the part of voters more than anything else. Out of seven drama supporting actress slots, four went to \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d including nods for Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif, newcomer Sepideh Moafi and last year\u2019s winner Katherine LaNasa. That ensemble is doing stellar work, but other casts also turned in award-worthy work that was left out of the running.<\/p>\n

The recent season of \u201cThe Gilded Age,\u201d for one, merits more individual acting notices than the sole nomination for Carrie Coon in the lead actress race. Her competition includes Chase Infiniti (\u201cThe Testaments\u201d), Keri Russell (\u201cThe Diplomat\u201d), two-time Emmy winner Zendaya (\u201cEuphoria\u201d) and Rhea Seehorn, who should have won for her work on \u201cBetter Call Saul\u201d but gets another shot with \u201cPluribus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only the limited series and anthology series categories are somewhat immune to the malady of sameness: Competing in the top show category are Peacock\u2019s \u201cAll Her Fault,\u201d HBO Max\u2019s \u201cDTF St. Louis,\u201d FX\u2019s \u201cLove Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette,\u201d and two from Netflix: \u201cThe Beast in Me\u201d and previous category winner \u201cBeef.\u201d (I did say somewhat.)<\/p>\n

In the run-up to Emmy nomination morning \u2014 and, honestly, at any other time of the year \u2014 you may have heard super-producer Taylor Sheridan preemptively flipping the bird at Emmy voters and critics. On a recent episode of \u201cThe Bill Simmons Podcast,\u201d he gruffly declared, \u201cYou\u2019re not going to win no Emmys with me, but I\u2019m not trying to win Emmys.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s right on both counts. While fans may be upset that Sheridan\u2019s Paramount+ dramas \u201cThe Madison\u201d and \u201cLandman\u201d were snubbed, he\u2019s perfectly content to play to the masses on the same level as franchises such as \u201cCSI\u201d and \u201cNCIS,\u201d neither of which has won a major category Emmy. For that matter, \u201cLaw & Order: SVU,\u201d the longest-running series in that franchise, has a single Primetime Emmy to its name, won by this year\u2019s host, Mariska Hargitay.<\/p>\n

But the creators of those series were never as aggressively dismissive of the industry as Sheridan has been \u2013 and not only recently, but for many years. Combine that with the various and very public sins associated with Paramount Skydance Corporation\u2019s owner and Trump ally David Ellison, from the ruination of CBS News and \u201c60 Minutes\u201d to the cancellation of \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert\u201d to its impending merger with Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

If Emmy voters wanted to register their disdain for this administration\u2019s punitive censorship and the dangerous ramp-up of media consolidation, denying honors to one of the faces of Paramount+ is certainly one way to do it.<\/p>\n

I mean Sheridan, not \u201cMadison\u201d star Pfeiffer, who secured her shot at gold with her supporting performance in \u201cMargo\u2019s Got Money Troubles.\u201d By the way, that<\/em> show was created by her husband, David E. Kelley, who is also its showrunner and an executive producer.<\/p>\n

Conversely, Colbert\u2019s fandom can take heart in the nine Emmy nods \u201cThe Late Show\u201d scored for its final run of episodes. So there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n

Lastly, some omissions are very simple to explain . . .<\/p>\n

Like I said, disgruntlement is part of the Emmy nominations tradition \u2013 and in some respects, this year spreads it around a little more evenly. Color me less shocked, for instance, that \u201cTask\u201d was left out of the best drama race. At least the voters tapped Tom Pelphrey to take part in the supporting actor contest, alongside Billy Crudup (\u201cThe Morning Show\u201c), Carlos-Manuel Vesga (\u201cPluribus\u201d), Gerran Howell, Shawn Hatosy and Patrick Ball (all from \u201cThe Pitt\u201d).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas previously won Emmys for their work on \u201cThe Bear.\u201d Not in 2026. I would have loved to see \u201cThe Lowdown\u201d get something, but no such luck. Broadcast TV has it worse \u2013 its series barely show up in the main categories aside from \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d and its 11 nominations, \u201cAbbott Elementary,\u201d the late-night talk shows, including Colbert, ABC\u2019s \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!,\u201d and unscripted stalwarts like CBS\u2019 \u201cSurvivor\u201d and ABC\u2019s \u201cDancing with the Stars.\u201d Fox is represented by \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d and \u201cBob\u2019s Burgers.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rough out there. But don\u2019t take it personally on your favorite shows\u2019 behalf, because Emmy voters don\u2019t know or see everything. They\u2019ll probably be looking out for the next season of \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d regardless of what happens. Everybody needs a feel-good watch.<\/p>\n
