It’s been a decade since Casey Bloys took over as head of HBO, and he had more reason to celebrate his successful tenure on Wednesday: an industry-leading 122 nominations for the HBO Max platform, including tremendous showings for “The Pitt” and “Hacks.”

At the same time, that straight-A report card comes with uncertainty. With the looming acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance, there are still a ton of unanswered questions about the fate of HBO — and whether Bloys will still be at the helm when Emmy nominations come back around next year.
