The Pitt and Hacks Dominate Emmy Nominations

The US medical drama The Pitt has emerged as a frontrunner in this year's Emmy Awards, receiving 25 nominations, the highest for any show. Closely following is the comedy series Hacks, which garnered 24 nominations. These prestigious awards recognize the finest achievements in American television.

Notably, several British actors are in contention, including Matthew Rhys, who has uniquely secured two lead acting nominations for his performances in Widow's Bay and The Beast In Me. Other British nominees include Riz Ahmed for Bait, Carey Mulligan for Beef, Gary Oldman for Slow Horses, and Rufus Sewell for The Diplomat.

Despite its popularity, the final season of Stranger Things did not make the cut for the best drama category. The show received seven nominations, all in technical categories. Meanwhile, Euphoria also missed out on a spot in the best drama category, with Zendaya being the only cast member nominated in the lead acting categories.

The comedy The Bear managed to secure a nomination for best comedy series, but its lead actor, Jeremy Allen White, was not nominated despite his previous wins in 2024 and 2025.
