Emmy Race Intensifies: ‘The Studio,’ ‘Severance,’ and ‘Adolescence’ Lead as Final Voting Nears
The excitement following the recent Emmy nominations is quickly giving way to strategic campaigning as studios and networks vie for victory. With final round voting set to begin on August 18, the race for television’s top honors is heating up, featuring several strong contenders and compelling storylines.
‘The Studio’ has emerged as a comedy powerhouse, securing a record-breaking 23 nominations, tying ‘The Bear’ for the most-nominated comedy ever. Its star, Seth Rogen, is poised for a potentially historic night, nominated for producing, directing, writing, and acting.
In the drama categories, Apple TV+’s ‘Severance’ leads with 27 nods, setting up a fierce battle against HBO Max’s critically acclaimed newcomer ‘The Pitt,’ which garnered 13 nominations. Key acting matchups include Adam Scott (‘Severance’) against Noah Wyle (‘The Pitt’) for Lead Drama Actor, and Britt Lower (‘Severance’) challenging the legendary Kathy Bates (‘Matlock’) for Lead Drama Actress. Tramell Tillman (‘Severance’) could make history as the first Black performer to win Supporting Drama Actor.
The limited series categories are equally competitive, with ‘The Penguin’ (24 nominations) facing a strong challenge from the British drama ‘Adolescence’ (13 nominations), which is a frontrunner in multiple categories. Colin Farrell’s performance in ‘The Penguin’ and Stephen Graham’s in ‘Adolescence’ are expected to go down to the wire for Lead Actor in a Limited Series.
As the industry prepares for the final voting push, expect intense campaigning and last-minute shifts in momentum before the winners are announced on September 14.
