2024 Emmy Nominations: FX dominates the scene
‘Shogun’ Tops the List with 25 Nods, Followed Closely by ‘The Bear’ with 23
The Primetime Emmy Awards are back in September, signaling another fiercely competitive awards season.
Emmy voters had a challenging task this season. Only shows that aired between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024, are eligible, including major series like The Crown, Baby Reindeer, True Detective: Night Country, Shogun, Only Murders in the Building, Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, Fargo, and many others.
FX has emerged as a formidable contender, with its series Shogun leading the pack with an impressive 25 nominations, including for limited series. The series not only highlighted its production excellence but also brought actors Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai into the Emmy spotlight with their first acting nominations. FX’s success didn’t stop there; the network accumulated a total of 93 nominations, significantly bolstered by The Bear, which set an Emmy record with 23 nods, the most in the history of the awards.
The Bear continued to build on its previous success, having secured 10 wins last year—the most for any series in its debut season. This year, it has brought its entire main cast including Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, and Liza Colón-Zayas into nomination contention. FX’s overall performance positioned it as the second-most nominated network, trailing only behind Netflix’s 107 nominations and surpassing both HBO and Max, marking a significant shift in Emmy dynamics.
Notably, Only Murders in the Building broke past snubs by securing an acting nomination for Selena Gomez in its third season. On the broader Emmy battlefield, HBO’s True Detective: Night Country emerged as the most-nominated limited series with 19 nods, while NBC’s Saturday Night Live led the broadcast entries with 17.
Other significant contributors included Apple TV+, which gathered 72 nominations, driven by standout performances from The Morning Show, Palm Royale, and Lessons in Chemistry. Netflix also had a strong showing with The Crown, Ripley, and Baby Reindeer among its top contenders.
Despite a 33% drop in total submissions from the previous year, due to decreased production volumes and last year’s industry strikes, the TV Academy’s 22,000 members had a slightly narrower field from which to select their favorites. This reduction resulted in fewer nominees in several categories, reflecting the industry’s broader production challenges.
Among the few changes to the Emmy rules this year was a significant adjustment in the scripted variety field, which moved to a juried selection due to the low number of submissions. This adjustment reflects ongoing shifts in how content is evaluated in a changing media landscape.
The 76th Emmy Awards will be broadcast live from downtown Los Angeles’ LA Live Peacock Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 15, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET/5 p.m. to 8 p.m. PT on ABC. The event, which has yet to announce its host, will also be available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
