The Emmy Awards announced their 2026 nominees, with medical drama 'The Pitt' leading all programs with 25 nominations. The series, starring Noah Wyle, Katherine LaNasa, and Shawn Hatosy, dominated the acting categories as well.
'Hacks' secured 24 nominations, breaking the record for most nods ever received by a comedy series. The achievement underscores the show's critical acclaim and growing cultural footprint in its latest season.
Other top nominees include Apple TV+'s 'Widow's Bay,' which earned multiple acting and technical nods. The complete list of nominees was published by The New York Times and AP News, highlighting a competitive field across drama, comedy, and limited series.
The 2026 Emmys reflect a shift toward streaming platforms, which produced the majority of nominated content. Traditional broadcast networks secured fewer slots this year compared to previous cycles.
Some industry observers note that the record haul for 'Hacks' may intensify debates about category eligibility, as hybrid dramedies continue to blur genre lines.
