Everything You Need to Know About The 2024 Emmy Awards

In July, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences revealed the complete list of nominees for the 76th Emmys at a ceremony held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.  Several big names are up for awards, including Meryl Streep and Selena Gomez for Only Murders in the Building, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon for The Morning Show, and Gary Oldman for Slow Horses. While Streep, a three-time Emmy winner, and Aniston, who won for Friends, have enjoyed Emmy success before, Gomez and Oldman are still seeking their first wins.

Winners at the Creative Arts Emmys

The FX series Shōgun continued its remarkable success on the second night of the Creative Arts Emmys, sweeping multiple categories including Guest Actor, Costumes, Makeup, Hairstyling, Stunts, Production Design, and Visual Effects. With a total of 14 Emmy wins across the two-day event, Shōgun set a new record for the most Emmys won in a single year, surpassing the previous record of 13 held by HBO's John Adams and 12 for Game of Thrones.

The Bear, another FX standout, also earned several awards, including for casting, picture editing, sound mixing, and guest stars Jon Bernthal and Jamie Lee Curtis. The Bear now has seven Emmy wins, edging ahead of Saturday Night Live, which led after the first night.

This Year’s Emmy Nominees

As anticipated, Netflix once again topped the nominations leaderboard with a total of 107 nods, thanks to standout series like The Crown (18), Ripley (13), Baby Reindeer (11), 3 Body Problem (6), and the documentary series Beckham (5).

In a surprising twist, FX secured 93 nominations, just surpassing HBO/Max’s 91. FX’s strong showing was driven by Shōgun and The Bear, while HBO/Max’s count was bolstered by True Detective: Night Country (19) and Hacks (17).

Apple TV+ claimed fourth place with a personal best of 72 nominations, with Palm Royale (11), The Morning Show (16), Slow Horses (9), and the limited series Lessons in Chemistry (10) leading its contenders.
