With the Primetime Emmy Awards less than two months away, nominations for 2024's biggest TV night have been announced. Leading the pack in the comedy categories is FX's hit <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/film-tv/2024/07/03/the-bear-lionel-boyce-marcus/" target="_blank"><i>The Bear</i></a> with 23 nominations<i>,</i> improving upon the 13 for its first season last year and setting a record for a comedy series, an achievement previously held by <i>30 Rock, </i>which earned 22 nominations in 2009. Newcomer <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/film-tv/2024/02/29/shogun-disney-streaming/" target="_blank"><i>Shogun</i>,</a> also from FX and streaming on Disney+ in the Middle East, scored the most nominations overall, with 25 in the drama categories. The show, based on the 1975 book by James Clavell, has proven to be the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/2024/03/06/hiroyuki-sanadas-career-evolution/" target="_blank">breakout hit of the year</a> so far. Originally set to be a limited series, it was renewed for a second season in May after the first's outsize success. In the limited series category, Netflix's<a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/film-tv/2024/06/07/baby-reindeer-fiona-harvey-netflix/" target="_blank"> <i>Baby Reindeer</i></a>, inspired by a true story from its creator and star Richard Gadd, had 11 nominations. There were numerous surprises throughout, including several nominations for the acclaimed FX comedy series <i>Reservation Dogs</i>, which follows four indigenous teenagers in Oklahoma, which had been snubbed in previous years despite widespread acclaim and accolades from other awarding bodies. Netflix's <i>Ripley </i>earned several unexpected nominations as well. Kristin Wiig's <i>Palme Royale</i>, meanwhile, was a surprise in the other direction, as it was tepidly received from critics and audiences when its first season was shown on Apple TV+. Two awards darlings found themselves shut out – one being Kelsey Grammar, who returned for a reboot of his beloved series <i>Frasier </i>in 2023 and failed to receive a nomination despite winning five <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/emmys/" target="_blank">Emmys</a> in years past. Actress <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/film-tv/2024/03/01/kate-winslet-the-regime-hbo-interview/" target="_blank">Kate Winslet</a>, meanwhile, did not receive a nomination for her<i> </i>HBO series <i>The Regime, </i>despite two previous Emmys which has helped her become one of the few actresses to earn three out of four achievements on the way to an <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/pop-culture/2024/01/16/egot-winners-elton-john-emmy-grammy-oscar-tony-awards/" target="_blank">EGOT</a>. The series did score a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series overall. HBO overall did not receive the Emmy love that it has in years past, with its acclaimed series<i> The Curse</i>, created by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie and starring Oscar-winner Emma Stone, also snubbed. <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/2024/04/14/tv-shows-binge-watch-or-weekly-episode/" target="_blank"><i>Fallout</i></a>, based on the game series, also earned several nominations, proving once again that <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/2024/04/13/video-games-tv-shows-adaptation/" target="_blank">video game adaptations</a> have officially come of age and are now a dominant force across television and film.
