The Primetime Emmy Awards will be taking place on Sunday, Sept 14th, live from the Peacock theater in Downtown LA. The event will be hosted by Nate Bargatze, with the Creative Arts Emmys taking place the week before.
The nominations, announced by actors Brenda Song and Harvey Guillén, showed us that Severance was the hit show. With potential wins across writing, acting, directing, and other technical fields, it led with 27 nominations.
Not to be ignored, The Penguin (24 noms), The Studio and White Lotus (23 noms each), followed hot on the heels of the dystopian workplace drama. Adolescence and The Pitt came in with 13 nominations each.
