Nomination agli Emmy 2026: le più grandi sorprese e snob

The 2026 Emmy nominations were officially announced on Wednesday, marking one of the most anticipated events in television awards season. The list brought forth a mix of surprises and disappointments, as well as reaffirming the dominance of certain networks and platforms. Among the standout performers was “The Pitt,” which received the highest number of nominations with a total of 25. This drama series, known for its intense storytelling and strong performances, continues to be a favorite among voters.

Following closely behind was the comedy-drama “Hacks,” which secured 24 nominations in its final season. The show, which has been praised for its sharp writing and dynamic characters, is likely to be a contender in multiple categories. HBO Max emerged as the leading network, earning an impressive 122 nominations overall. Notably, the platform had three shows competing for both Best Overall Drama and Best Overall Comedy, showcasing its diverse programming lineup.

Another unexpected highlight was “Widow’s Bay,” a horror-comedy series produced by Apple TV and starring Matthew Rhys. The show garnered 19 nominations, fueled by positive critical reception and growing audience interest. A review from The New York Times highlighted the series' ability to deliver both humor and suspense, describing it as a rare blend of entertainment that resonates with viewers. Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro praised the series, calling it “one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in horror” and adding that it represents “the best streaming series in a long time.”

Vince Gilligan's latest project, “Pluribus,” also made waves with 18 total nominations. The series features Rhea Seahorn, who previously starred in “Better Call Saul,” and she received a nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series. Apple TV continued its strong showing with additional nominations for “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” and “Shrinking” in the Best Comedy Series category.

Despite the success of many shows, some high-profile titles faced notable snubs. “The Bear,” which had been a consistent performer in previous years, saw a decline in the number of nominations it received. Additionally, Jeremy Allen White, who played the lead role in “The Bear,” did not receive a nomination for Best Actor, which surprised many fans and critics alike.

The full list of major nominations includes several prominent contenders across various categories. For Outstanding Drama Series, the nominees range from “The Diplomat” to “Your Friends & Neighbors.” In the Outstanding Comedy Series category, “Abbott Elementary,” “Hacks,” and “Widow’s Bay” stand out as strong candidates. The Outstanding Limited Series category features entries such as “All Her Fault” and “Beef,” each bringing unique narratives to the table.

In the acting categories, Sterling K. Brown, Gary Oldman, Mark Ruffalo, and others have been nominated for their roles in drama series. Similarly, the comedy series have seen a variety of actors recognized for their performances, including Quinta Brunson and Jean Smart. The supporting roles also received significant attention, with numerous names appearing on the lists for both drama and comedy series.

As the awards season progresses, the focus will shift towards the actual ceremony where these nominations will be celebrated. Fans and industry professionals alike will be watching closely to see which performances and productions take home the coveted Emmys. The upcoming months will bring further developments, including interviews, promotional activities, and the eventual announcement of winners.
