Nominations for the 2026 Emmys have been revealed, and we're breaking down the categories dominated by 'The Pitt,' which earned 25, 'Hacks,' which broke a record for most nominations by a comedy in a single season with 24, and newcomer 'Widow's Bay,' which broke through late in the game with 18. Awardist host Gerrad Hall and EW Sr. Editor Joyce Eng also share the biggest snubs and surprises of the day, from previous winners Jeremy Allen White and Sheryl Lee Ralph missing out, to 'Dancing With the Stars' and lots of 'Hacks' actors getting in.
