FX’s The Bear and Shōgun dominated the list of shows nominated for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards in the comedy and drama categories, respectively.
The nominations, announced Wednesday morning by actors Tony Hale and Sheryl Lee Ralph alongside Television Academy chairman Cris Abrego, held few surprises, but saw big returns for FX’s lineup of scripted series.
The Bear, which won for best comedy series at last year’s Emmys — held this past January after being postponed due to the writer's strike — set a record for nominations in comedy categories with 23, beating out the previous record of 22 set by NBC’s 30 Rock in 2009.
The Bear will compete in its category with two other FX shows, Reservation Dogs and What We Do in The Shadows, as well as HBO/Max’s Hacks and Curb Your Enthusiasm; ABC’s Abbott Elementary; Apple TV Plus’s Palm Royale; and Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.
FX’s freshman series Shōgun was the most-nominated drama series with 25 nominations. Shōgun will battle Netflix’s The Crown and 3 Body Problem; Prime Video’s Fallout and Mr. & Mrs. Smith; HBO’s The Gilded Age; and Apple TV’s The Morning Show and Slow Horses for top honors.
The Bear stars Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White will look to become repeat Emmy winners. Edebiri, who won last year for best supporting actress, will now compete in the best actress category against last year’s winner Quinton Brunson (Abbott Elementary), as well as Maya Rudolph (Apple TV Plus’ Loot), Jean Smart (Hacks), Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building), and Kristen Wiig (Apple TV Plus' Palm Royale)
White will defend his title against Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows), Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Steve Martin and Martin Short (Only Murders in the Building) and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai (Reservation Dogs).
Emmy Awards winners will be announced September 15 at a ceremony televised live ABC.
