The Primetime Emmy Awards nominations are always worth the wait, and this year’s list of contenders didn’t disappoint. FX had a reason to celebrate after their acclaimed series The Bear and Shōgun emerged as the top contenders with over 20 nods each.
The first season of the historical drama Shōgun won over the Emmy voters, and they’ve given it epic 25 nominations. It’s the second non-English language series nominated for the outstanding drama series, where the list of contenders also includes The Crown, Fallout, The Gilded Age, The Morning Show, Mr & Mrs Smith, Slow Horses, and 3 Body Problem.
FX is also the leader on the comedy side – their hit culinary dramedy The Bear scored 23 nods, the most ever for a single season of a comedy series. It will collect another trophy for the outstanding comedy series if it manages to beat Abbott Elementary, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, Palm Royale, Reservation Dogs, and What We Do in Shadow.
This year’s Emmys will also be a night to remember for True Detective: Night Country, which received 19 nods. It’s in the running for the outstanding limited or anthology series alongside Baby Reindeer, Lessons in Chemistry, Ripley, and Fargo.
The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards are returning to the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California on September 15, and they’ll air live on ABC.
