An Emmys statuette on Sept. 11, 2025 in Los Angeles. Michael Buckner/Variety/Getty Images The 2026 Emmy Awards are here — and the stars have come out in full force to celebrate the best in television and accept their trophies.
This year, medical drama The Pitt led all nominees with 25, including Outstanding Drama Series, a distinction the show won last year alongside acting wins for stars Noah Wylie and Katherine LaNasa. This year, Wylie, LaNasa, Patrick Ball, Shawn Hatosy, Gerran Howell, Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif, and Sepideh Moafi are all nominated for their performances.
Hacks trailed just behind with 24 nominations, and set a record for most Emmy nominations for a single season of TV comedy. Alongside vying for Outstanding Comedy Series, star Jean Smart is looking to win her fifth straight Outstanding lead Actress in a Comedy series prize for her portrayal of Deborah Vance, while Hannah Einbinder is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, which she won in 2025.
Two breakout shows earned impressive nominations this year: Pluribus and Widow’s Bay. Widow’s Bay, the macabre comedy about a cursed New England island, earned 19 nominations, including acting looks for stars Matthew Rhys, Stephen Root, Dale Dickey, and Kate O’Flynn.
Meanwhile, Pluribus, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, garnered 18 nominations. Star Rhea Seehorn is up for an acting Emmy after twice losing for her celebrated turn on Gilligan’s Breaking Bad prequel series, Better Call Saul. Her co-stars Carlos-Manuel Vesga and Karolina Wydra are also nominated for their performances.
Other notable nominees this year include Beef and DTF St. Louis, which led the Limited Series categories. And perennial Emmy favorites, including Only Murders in the Building, Abbott Elementary, Slow Horses, The Bear, and The Diplomat all picked up nominations.
Check below for the full list of winners (bolded) as they are announced.
