A Marvel superhero leads the pack in this year’s Emmy race for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series — but the rest of the nominees aren’t going away without a fight.
Recently minted Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr. is the early frontrunner in this category, thanks to his kaleidoscopic performance as five different characters in HBO’s post-Vietnam War saga The Sympathizer. He’ll face competition, though, from Jonathan Bailey, who earned his first career nomination as star-crossed lover Tim in Showtime’s epic romance Fellow Travelers. Plus, New Girl veteran Lamorne Morris is enjoying the first Emmy...

Ryan Murphy has become the go-to person for actors who want to win Emmy Awards. In fact, 13 different performers have won Emmys for appearing in a Murphy production since 2010, for roles that are both humorous and monstrous. Starting with “Glee,” more than 40 actors have been recognized with a nomination by the TV academy, mostly in the limited series/movie categories. It’s no surprise Murphy’s name is typically heard at least once or twice per Emmy broadcast, whether in speeches thanking him or for nominations of his own for directing, producing and writing.
Scroll through our photo gallery above (or click here for direct access) to see which actors have won Emmys for Ryan Murphy shows, with Niecy Nash-Betts (“Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”) being the most recent addition.

The 11 days allocated for the final round of Emmys voting will come to an end at 10 p.m. Pt on Monday.
My sense from talking to a wide cross-section of voters (including one whose picks will be posted on Friday as this year’s “Brutally Honest Emmys Ballot”) is that all three of the top program categories remain somewhat up for grabs, with two or three contenders splitting the lion’s share of support in each: FX’s Shogun and Netflix’s The Crown for best drama series; FX’s The Bear and HBO/Max’s Hacks for best comedy series; and Netflix’s Baby Reindeer and Ripley and HBO/Max’s True Detective: Night Country for best limited/anthology series.
Meanwhile, Netflix appears to be pulling away in many of the variety and nonfiction categories; among them, best pre-recorded variety special (Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer), best live variety special (G.

Robert Downey Jr. could be about to join an exclusive actors club by becoming just the fourth person to win both an Oscar and an Emmy for acting in the same calendar year.
Downey Jr. won Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Oscars for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss in “Oppenheimer.” That Christopher Nolan biopic, which also won Best Picture, followed Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and depicted the scientist’s creation, and later guilt, of the atomic bomb. Downey Jr’s Strauss was a politician who was once an ally of Oppenheimer only to become his rival. Downey Jr’s portrayal of Strauss, the film’s villain, made him the obvious choice for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar and that remained throughout awards season. He won the BAFTA, Critics Choice, Golden Globe, and SAG awards before he eventually won the Academy Award, beating fellow Oscar nominees Sterling K. Brown...

Robert Downey Jr has naturally gotten a lot of recognition and success through his roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He made a name for himself in that franchise, starring as Iron Man for more than a decade before parting ways with the role. He changed lives and kickstarted the entire franchise. With his return to the franchise as Doctor Doom, his fans cannot help but be glad about all that he could do in the role.

Around a year ago, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife and producing partner Susan Downey sat down with Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige for a chat.
It wasn’t unusual for Downey and Feige to be talking. After all, the two have kept in touch following Downey’s departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Avengers: Endgame. But the conversation soon took a multiverse-shattering left turn, when Feige suggested Downey could return to the MCU, even though his character, Tony Stark, was dead.
“He said, ‘It just keeps occurring to me, if you were to come back …’” Downey said in the latest episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast. “Susan was like, ‘Wait, wait. Come back as what?’”
Downey and Feige went on to talk about issues that needed to be resolved, should the actor return.
“How can we not go backwards? How can we not disappoint expectations?...

“It was a bear,” the actor Robert Downey Jr. acknowledged on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast as we began discussing The Sympathizer, Park Chan-wook’s HBO limited series in which he appeared earlier this year just one month after winning an Oscar for his performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
In The Sympathizer, an adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about Vietnam, Downey plays five different characters who cross paths with “The Captain,” a North Vietnamese mole in the South Vietnamese army: Claude, a CIA operative; Professor Hammer, an Asian-American Studies professor; Rep. Ned Godwin, a war-hawk congressman; Niko Damianos, an arrogant filmmaker; and a French priest.
“It was exhausting,” Downey continues. “I really had to prepare. In a lot of ways, it was the ultimate in extremes: You can’t fake it if you haven’t prepared for each one individually, and you also want to kind...

Robert Downey Jr. played the role of Iron Man from the MCU’s humble beginnings till the end of the Infinity Saga. The role became synonymous with him and many have dubbed it one of the great casting choices in cinema history. The role left a big impact on fans and now the actor is returning to the franchise playing another iconic character that is a stark contrast to Tony Stark.

It was recently announced that Downey Jr. will be playing Victor Von Doom/ Dr. Doom in the upcoming Avengers films. Before that announcement, fans have been clamoring for Downey Jr. to return to the MCU as a Tony Stark variant in the multiverse saga. The actor playing Superior Iron Man might have been the perfect role reversal to what he represented as Tony Stark.

Netflix leads all nominees with a total of 107 noms, including for limited series Ripley, Griselda and Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer.

Korean film maestro Park Chan-wook is keeping in motion. The internationally acclaimed auteur, 60, will begin production on Saturday on his 12th feature, an adaptation of American novelist Donald Westlake’s 1996 novel The Ax. The movie, which is currently going by the working title I Can’t Help It, will star Korean screen royalty Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin, with financing and distribution coming from local studio heavyweight Cj Enm.
Westlake’s novel was previously adapted into French by Costa Gavras as the 2005 film Le Couperet (The Axe). Like its predecessor, Park’s adaptation follows a man — named Man-soo this time and played by Lee — who is abruptly laid off by the paper company where he worked tirelessly for many years. The man grows increasingly desperate in his hunt for new work, eventually resolving to kill his job competitors. Son will play the man’s wife, the warm-hearted Mi-ri.

The English-language title of the film is No Other Choice (the Korean title directly translates as I Can’t Help It).
It will mark the first feature from the Oldboy director since 2022 noir melodrama Decision To Leave, which premiered in Competition at Cannes where Park won best director and subsequently secured nominations at the Baftas and Golden Globes.

The Marvel fandom was clearly divided when Robert Downey Jr. was unmasked as the next Doctor Doom at the San Diego Comic-Con.
Half the fandom felt disappointed, as this clearly besmirched the reputation of Iron Man, a character who was killed off in heroic fashion at the conclusion of Avengers: End Game.

The other half, though, continued to stick by the casting decision, having faith not only in Robert Downey Jr. as a shrewd and talented actor but also in the vision of Anthony and Joe Russo, who have never steered Marvel wrong.
Many have speculated that the recasting is nothing more than a money move since Marvel universe projects have faltered since 2020.
There’s also that little scandal about Kang, played underwhelmingly by Jonathan Majors, which undoubtedly contributed to Marvel’s rescheduling of some climactic plots.

What do Robert Downey Jr., Idris Elba, Lily Gladstone and Maya Rudolph have in common?
These four stars are not only nominees at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards but are also the sole representatives of their respective series: Downey (supporting actor in a limited series for “The Sympathizer”), Elba (lead drama actor for “Hijack”), Gladstone (supporting actress in a limited series for “Under the Bridge”) and Rudolph (lead comedy actress for “Loot”). While each of these talented actors has a shot at winning, history shows that it’s rare for someone to take home an Emmy when their show has no other nominations.
Over the past four decades, only six actors have won an Emmy as the sole nominee from their show: Louie Anderson (supporting comedy actor for “Baskets” in 2016), Richard Kiley (lead drama actor for “A Year in the Life” in 1987), Regina King (lead actress limited for “Seven Seconds...

Following up his noir melodrama Decision to Leave, Park Chan-wook ventured into the world of American television with the forthcoming Max series The Sympathizer, adapting Viet Thanh Nguyen’s acclaimed novel and teaming with Robert Downey Jr. As revealed earlier this year, he’s now set to return to South Korea for his next feature and as production begins this week more details have been unveiled.
Set to begin shooting this Saturday, August 17, Park will be adapting Donald E. Westlake’s 1997 novel The Ax, which the legendary Costa-Gavras first adapted in 2005. The black comedy thriller follows a man laid off from the paper company he worked at for 25 years. Some time later and still jobless, he hits on a solution: to genuinely eliminate his competition. Adapted by Park Chan-wook, Lee Kyung-mi, Don McKellar (The Sympathizer), Lee Ja-hye, the cast includes Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeom Hye-ran,...

Exclusive: The Disney+ and Hulu Korean spy drama Tempest has added John Cho (Star Trek), Christopher Gorham (The Lincoln Lawyer), Alicia Hannah-Kim (Cobra Kai) and Jacob Bertrand (Cobra Kai) to its cast, Deadline has learned. They join the previously announced leads Gianna Jun and Gang Dongwon.
Disney+ and Hulu tease “assassinations, political games, conspiracies and spies will collide” in 2025 when Tempest premieres in the United States. Production is currently underway in Seoul.
From writer Chung Seokyung, Tempest follows Seo Munju (Gianna Jun), a highly accomplished diplomat and former ambassador to the United States, and Sanho (Gang Dongwon), an international special agent shrouded in a veil of secrets, as they race to uncover the truth behind an attack that threatens the future stability of the Korean peninsula.
Details regarding who Cho, Gorham, Hannah-Kim and Bertrand will portray are under wraps.
Tempest is directed by Kim Heewon and co-directed by Korean martial arts director Heo Myunghaeng (The Outlaws 4). The series is produced by Imaginus, Showrunners, Studio AA and Action School.
Cho can next be seen in the upcoming sci-fi horror film Afraid opposite Katherine Waterston which opens on August 30. He is best known for his portrayal of Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek (2009) and its two sequels Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) and Star Trek Beyond (2016) and Harold Lee in the Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg hit comedy Harold & Kumar franchise led by Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004). His recent credits include HBO’s The Sympathizer, The Afterparty for Apple TV+, Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop and Fox’s The Exorcist for TV. His film credits include Don’t Make Me Go (2022), The Grudge (2019) and The Graduates, which he also executive produced.
The Tempest reunites Cho and Gorham, who starred in the ABC series Ugly Betty.
Gorham most recently starred in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer. Before that, he had series regular roles in Netflix’s Insatiable, USA’s Covert Affairs and The WB’s Popular. He is best known for his portrayal of Henry Grubstick in Ugly Betty opposite America Ferrera.
Hannah-Kim most recently starred as Sensei Kim Da-eun in seasons 5 and 6 of Cobra Kai, a continuation of The Karate Kid story starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka. Hannah-Kim co-starred in the drama series alongside Bertrand. Cobra Kai was No. 1 on TV globally in its debut week on Netflix with nearly 15M views. Since then, its viewership doubled its viewership for Season 6A. Before that, she recurred in Max’s Minx.
Bertrand is currently starring in Netflix’s Cobra Kai as Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz, a role he’s portrayed across the show’s six seasons. His prior credits include lead roles in Max’s Batwheels, Disney Channel’s The Swap and for Nickelodeon, Jinxed and Marvin Marvin.

Coming off his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for “Oppenheimer,” Robert Downey Jr. was the heavy favorite to win the Emmy for Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actor for his multiple roles in HBO’s spring limited series “The Sympathizer.” But then the nominations were announced on July 17 and Downey ended up being the only nomination for his series. That knocked him down to second place in our odds behind Jonathan Bailey (“Fellow Travelers”). If there’s no other support for his program, he can’t really win, can he? Tell that to Mark Ruffalo.

Robert Downey Jr is set to return to the Marvel superhero universe, although this time not as Tony Stark, the invincible Iron Man. Instead, the actor is stepping out from behind a silver mask and green cloak of Marvel comic books’ other classic, Dr Victor Von Doom, the legendary supervillain.
His reappearance was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con. At this annual pop-culture gala, Downey emerged from behind Doctor Doom’s signature face mask and cape at the last minute to surprise a crowd of fans.
Downey Jr.’s Upcoming Films And Characters
Downey Jr will reprise his role next in the May 2026 release of “Avengers: Doomsday” and again a year later for “Secret Wars.” Asked if he’s sick of performing endless variations on one character, Downey Jr, who turns 59 this year, told reporters, “I like playing complicated characters.”

In most cases, we only know so much about the people behind our favorite movies and TV shows. We know a few lead and supporting stars by name; we could probably spell the names of directors or showrunners without too many mistakes; and sometimes, the person who penned the script also gets a little recognition.
But every major production involves hundreds if not thousands of people, most of them going completely underappreciated. It doesn’t take a genius to thank George Martin for making House of the Dragon possible, for one — but do you know all the others who wrote their brains and fingers off to deliver the Targaryen spin-off?
Who Wrote House of the Dragon, in General?

“Baby Reindeer” submitted four actors for Emmy nominations this season, and all four of them made the cut. Of those, the least certain was Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actor contender Tom Goodman-Hill. We had ranked him eighth in our odds for the nomination, but he defied the odds and got into the field of seven. And that might have been the hardest part. Now that he’s a nominee, he has jumped to third place in our odds for who will win. A victory would be especially impressive given how subtle and insidious a performance it is.
Goodman-Hill is a veteran character actor with credits spanning more than 30 years, but this is his first major industry recognition. He plays Darrien, a successful TV writer who entices struggling comedian Donny (Best Movie/Limited Actor nominee Richard Gadd) with promises of a career breakthrough, but is actually grooming him for sexual abuse.

Robert Downey Jr.’s run as Tony Stark in the Iron Man and Avengers films would help to usher in and solidify the cinematic universe that changed the plane of mainstream Hollywood films. His face became the face of Marvel Studios and his comeback story is the stuff of legends. Not only would he recover from being seen as a huge risk, but Downey Jr. also made a statement with his post-Tony Stark career as he earned himself an Academy Award win after his acclaimed performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar darling Oppenheimer. It’s safe to say that Downey Jr.’s stock has skyrocketed even further and as the MCU seeks to recapture its glory days of success, many find his recent casting as Victor Von Doom as both exciting and confusing. However, now that Downey Jr. has shown his range capabilities, not only from Oppenheimer but also from...

If you’re a Marvel fan who self-identifies as tired, you remember the exact moment that the tides shifted.
For me it was 2023’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” a film whose staggering lack of imagination and commitment to CGI drudgery left me exiting the theater feeling not only disappointed, but offended. My loyalty had been taken for granted, and the bar for holding on to it lowered to unrecognizable new depths.
There have been ups and downs since then. I adored “Ms. Marvel,” and enjoyed “Echo,” two Disney+ series minimally burdened by the multiverse, and while I agree with the critiques of “Deadpool & Wolverine” my early-2000s X-Men heart was cackling and clapping throughout. But not much of the post-“Avengers: Endgame” repertoire has compelled me to watch and rewatch and theorize and get excited in the way that I did before.
For the execs at Marvel, that’s a problem.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is at a crossroads right now. Their post-Endgame dealings have been an overinflated mixed bag that supersaturated the market. Even their biggest hits have been more about giving a fond farewell to the past, whether it is goodbye to James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Sony’s earlier Spider-Man movies, or Fox’s X-Men movies. Projects that try to build toward the future have had some success, but also some notable failures.
It’s also been little help that the current Multiverse Saga lacks the same creative stability which underwrote the Infinity Saga’s build up of Thanos and the Infinity Stones. There’s been stuff about legacy and the multiverse, but bringing it together was a challenge. Briefly though, the MCU appeared to have something great going with the introduction of Kang the Conqueror as played by Jonathan Majors.

It’s hard to think of an actor managing his career after leaving a franchise better than has Robert Downey Jr. And that makes his announced return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe — in which he’ll be playing the villainous character Dr. Doom in forthcoming “Avengers” sequels, as announced this weekend — come as a surprise.
Downey’s “Iron Man” kicked off of the MCU in 2008, and his character Tony Stark’s death, in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” was a climax of sorts. “Endgame” represented a culmination of all Marvel storytelling to that point: Downey’s definitive departure meant that this particular set of stories, in which wisecracking defense contractor sat at the emotional center, was done.
What immediately followed his departure was a major hiccup, with his film “Dolittle” bombing critically and commercially in early 2020. It was an attempted franchise-starter, and a cynical one: Downey has said since that he was...

Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom in a new “Avengers” movie titled “Avengers: Doomsday,” which will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo in their own return to Marvel. The directing duo is on deck to helm two new “Avengers” movie: “Doomsday,” which will introduce Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom, and “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
While Downey had said in recent interviews that he was open to returning to Marvel, fans naturally assumed that meant he would come back as Iron Man/Tony Stark. Downey’s return as the villainous Victor von Doom comes as a massive shock to the fandom, including the ecstatic audience at Marvel’s presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. Downey made a victorious appearance to Hall H on Saturday evening to reveal his return.

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we are still reeling from Wednesday’s nominations.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! Now that the dust has settled on the 2024 Emmy nominations, how are you feeling about what transpired? It’s not the main headline, but I’m still shaking my head at Lily Gladstone and Robert Downey Jr. making it in as lone nominees from their shows, just some real major namecheck vibes from the actors’ branch of the academy — particularly since Downey was nominated somehow without a corresponding prosthetic makeup citation for “The Sympathizer” prosthetic makeup designer Vincent Van Dyke, a former winner and 13-time nominee.

It’s not the main headline, but I’m still shaking my head at Lily Gladstone and Robert Downey Jr. making it in as lone nominees from their shows, just some real major namecheck vibes from the actors’ branch of the academy — particularly since Downey was nominated somehow without a corresponding prosthetic makeup citation for “The Sympathizer” prosthetic makeup designer Vincent Van Dyke, a former winner and 13-time nominee. Tell me you didn’t watch these shows without telling me you didn’t watch these shows. In terms of import, most...

A lot can change after Emmy nominations are announced. Shows and performances that seemed strong might be more vulnerable than we thought, and contenders on the bubble might suddenly have a chance to win. We’ve already seen such a change in fortunes in the race for Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actor.
SEEWill Matt Bomer (‘Fellow Travelers’) be redeemed at the Emmys 10 years after shocking loss for ‘The Normal Heart’?
Robert Downey Jr., fresh off his Oscar win for “Oppenheimer,” was considered the man to beat for tackling multiple roles in HBO’s “The Sympathizer.” But then the TV academy unveiled the official list, and Downey was the only nomination for “The Sympathizer,” suggesting limited support for the limited series.

Now that we at IndieWire have landed on the best movies and TV shows of the year so far, let’s dive into the best performances on either screen in 2024 up until now.
We’re now in the thick of Emmys season ahead of the September 15 awards, which actually makes this year’s the second Emmys ceremony to go down in 2024, as the strikes pushed 2023’s event to this past January. All of this is to say we haven’t stopped talking about glorious TV performances in 2024, and our picks for the last six months range from streaming titles from celebrated filmmakers (like “Expats” on Prime Video from director Lulu Wang and co-starring Sarayu Blue alongside Nicole Kidman) and indie screen favorites to breakouts on cable that stunned and surprised us. And some streaming staples, like Hannah Einbinder’s spiky comedy writer in Max’s “Hacks,” outdid even their own performance from past seasons.

The nominations for the 76th annual Emmys have dropped. There were some records broken, a lot of surprises including 36 first-time nominees and some major snubs. And a lot of fun facts and trivia about this year’s nominees. FX’s period drama series “Shogun” earning 25 Emmy nominations this year, the most of any dramatic series this year. The original NBC miniseries adaptation of the James Clavell best-seller which starred Richard Chamberlain and the legendary Toshiro Mifune received 14 nominations and won for limited series, costume design, graphic design and title sequences. Hulu’s “The Bear” broke the record for most nominations for a comedy series earning 23 nominations. NBC’s “30 Rock” had held the record with 22 nominations since 2009. Native Americans finally have some representation in this year’s nomination with Lily Gladstone and Kali Reis earning outstanding supporting actress nominations for Hulu’s “Under the Bridge” and HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country.

After scoring his first Emmy nomination for his work in the fifth season of FX’s crime anthology Fargo, Lamorne Morris hopped on the phone with Deadline to tease Sony’s SNL 1975 (working title) and Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, also discussing his hopes for the future of his career.
Of SNL 1975, Morris said, “Jason Reitman directed the hell out of this thing. It’s a great look at day one at SNL, the ups and downs, how the show almost didn’t happen, the characters. Lorne Michaels, played by Gabe Labelle, trying to manage all these personalities, all while getting this show on the air. Obviously, now, we know 50 years later what this show has become, but to see the origin of it and the actors on this movie will blow your mind.”

With several Emmys stalwarts not eligible for nominations this year, it was expected that there would be a number of surprises among the 2024 Emmy nominations.
But while some series and stars broke through, other anticipated nominees from new shows didn’t fare as well as they’d hoped.
Despite a big awards push, Showtime’s The Curse failed to receive any Emmy nominations, with star Emma Stone among the awards hopefuls not nominated. Similarly, the Nicole Kidman-fronted Expats for Amazon’s Prime Video was also left out of this year’s nominations. And HBO’s The Regime only earned one nod, for its costumes, leaving stars Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant snubbed.
Other acclaimed actors who failed to receive nominations include Kelsey Grammer, not nominated for his Frasier revival after the original series was a regular Emmy winner; Abbott Elementary supporting players William Stanford Davis and Chris Perfetti; The Gilded Age...

Some things about the Emmys are predictable. Every awards observer figured that FX’s Shōgun and The Bear would get lots of nominations today, and they did: 25 and 23, respectively, the latter a record for the comedy categories in the case of The Bear.
But unexpected things, both good and bad, always happen when the Emmy nominations are announced, and this year’s list was no different. Let’s run through some of those.

With fewer eligible series — a consequence of both last year’s strikes and of a general post-Peak TV contraction — it seemed unlikely that the Emmys (the second such ceremony this year!) would provide much in the way of surprises.
Perhaps, though, awards-watchers shouldn’t have counted them out.
Wednesday morning’s nominations announcement featured at least one major contender (Emma Stone in “The Curse”) shut out, and included heartening and unexpected recognition for other stars whose names hadn’t been part of the conversation to this point. (Congratulations to Idris Elba and Matt Berry!)
In all, the Emmy nominations depict an industry in rapid transition — relatively few returning series made the cut. But nowhere was the competition more pitched, and the volume of surprise omissions as high, as in the limited series field. (Read the full list of nominees here.)

The late Treat Williams was nominated for an Emmy Award on Wednesday, thanks to his role in Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.
The actor, who died in a motorcycle accident last month, is among the nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Williams played CBS executive and womanizer William Paley in the FX anthology series.

Once again, the Emmy Awards nominations don’t include a slew of TV favorites. Among the most notable snubs: Emma Stone for Best Drama Actress and a complete shutout of her Showtime series “The Curse.” Equally surprising was “Shogun” supporting actresses Moeka Hoshi and Fumi Nikaido missing the ballot. On the comedy side, Netflix’s “The Gentlemen” missed for Comedy Series and a forecasted bid for its star Theo James. And although “The Bear” had a solid morning overall, Abby Elliott wasn’t able to ride the wave of fortune in Best Comedy Supporting Actress. Oliver Platt and Matty Matheson were also snubbed on the Supporting Actor side.
Below, we enumerate the top 50 Emmys snubs in our estimation. These were the shows and performers that we thought had a strong chance to number among this year’s nominees. Let us know if there are others missing from this list that...

The nominees for the 76th Emmy Awards were announced live from Hollywood this morning, and "The Bear" and "Shōgun" appear to be the shows to beat. The two FX on Hulu series earned a stunning 23 and 25 nominations respectively, with "Shōgun" earning several cast members first-time nominations and "The Bear" breaking the Emmys' all-time-record for the most nods in one year in the comedy category. The show –- which, as genre purists will surely point out, is actually a dramedy that often leans towards drama –- beats previous record holder "30 Rock" by one nomination.
Elsewhere on the ballot, it's clear that the absence of HBO juggernaut "Succession" has left a void in the drama category, one that several shows are vying to fill. Period pieces "The Gilded Age" and "The Crown" put up a good showing, while sci-fi shows "Fallout" and "3 Body Problem" also found a spot in the Best Drama Category.

Robert Downey Jr. and Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s remarkable awards run in 2024 continued with this morning’s Emmy nominations, where both performers earned nods. Randolph is nominated for guest actress in a comedy series thanks to her performance on Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” while Downey landed a nomination for supporting actor in a limited series for HBO’s “The Sympathizer.” Variety’s senior awards editor Clayton Davis currently lists Downey as the frontrunner to win the Emmy in his category.
The Emmy nominations for Randolph and Downey this year are notable as both actors took home Oscars in March, thus setting them up for a history-making moment of winning an Oscar and an Emmy in the same calendar year. Randolph was awarded the Oscar for best supporting actress thanks to “The Holdovers,” while Downey took home the supporting actor prize for “Oppenheimer.”

Both Robert Downey Jr. and Da’Vine Joy Randolph landed Emmy nominations this morning, hot on the heels of their Oscar wins for Oppenheimer and The Holdovers. While Poor Things Oscar winner Emma Stone was also expected to be nominated this morning for her turn on Showtime’s The Curse, she wound up being snubbed.

The upcoming nominations for the best in television have been announced. The list of this year’s nominations for the 76th Primetime Emmys has been announced today by actors Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tony Hale in Hollywood. This year’s event has a rare distinction of taking place less than a year after the last event, which had been postponed to January of this year due to the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes that lasted for a bigger part of the summer and fall in 2023. Last year’s Emmys included winners from such shows as The Bear, Abbott Elementary and HBO’s massively popular series Succession. The ceremony is set to take place on September 15, exactly eight months after the 75th Primetime Emmys were presented on Fox. The Hollywood Reporter has listed the nominations for this year, so here are the 2024 Emmy nominees:

Two Emmy Award ceremonies in one year? The TV industry is going through a lot right now, but there’s something to be said for the shorter interval between Emmy celebrations in 2024 while awards season catches up with the timeline of 2023’s Hollywood strikes. January’s Emmy Awards honored television shows that completed their seasons between June 2022 and May 2023, and September’s ceremony will pick up right after that, with eligible shows premiering between June 2023 and May 2024.
Sheryl Lee Ralph (ABC’s “Abbott Elementary”) and Tony Hale (Netflix’s upcoming “The Decameron”) announced the nominees on July 16 for the 76th Annual Emmy Awards, which will take place on September 15.
This was the first year without a lot of usual suspects in the Emmy race, such as “Succession,” “Ted Lasso,” “Barry,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” other favorites like “The Gilded Age,” “The Bear,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “The Crown” are still in the running,...
