The nominations for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday in Los Angeles, generating excitement in the world of television. The event featured early announcements on “CBS Mornings,” with actors Harvey Guillen and Brenda Song later revealing additional nominees.
CBS is set to broadcast the ceremony from the Peacock Theater on September 14, with comedian Nate Bargatze as the host.
Among the nominees, Noah Wyle and Adam Scott stand out in the best actor in a drama category. Both are seasoned actors without an Emmy to their names. Wyle, receiving his sixth nomination for his role in “The Pitt,” has previously been nominated five times for his portrayal of Dr. John Carter in “ER.” Adam Scott earned his first nomination for his standout performance in “Severance” after a successful run on “Parks and Recreation.”
Kathy Bates is anticipated to be a strong contender for best actress in a drama for her role in CBS’ “Matlock.” If she wins, this would be a notable achievement, marking the first win for an actress from a network show in this category since Viola Davis in 2015. Bates has received 15 nominations throughout her career and boasts two previous wins.
The early announcements also included nominees for talk and reality competition series. The nominees for talk series encompass “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” The reality competition nominees feature popular shows like “The Amazing Race,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” “Survivor,” “Top Chef,” and “The Traitors.”
Overall, this year’s Emmy nominations highlight both familiar faces and fresh talent, promising a vibrant awards ceremony that celebrates the best in television.
