Page Six<\/a> reached out to the Television Academy for comment. <\/p>\nThe Supporting Actor and Actress in a Limited Series or Movie includes a slew of big stars.<\/p>\n
The supporting actress category includes Linda Cardellini for DTF St. Louis, Dakota Fanning, for All Her Fault, Laurie Metcalf for Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Joy Sunday, for DTF St. Louis, Youn Yuh-jung for Beef, and Constance Zimmer for, Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.<\/p>\n
The supporting actor category is also packed with heavyweights, including Jason Bateman for DTF St. Louis, Richard Gadd for Half Man, David Harbour for DTF St. Louis, Richard Jenkins for DTF St. Louis, Charles Melton for Beef, and Nick Offerman, for Death by Lightning.<\/p>\n
The Television Academy said in a statement Friday this change is because of the \u201cextraordinary breadth of work recognised each year and the limited time available within a three-hour broadcast\u201d. <\/p>\n
The statement added that it is a \u201cthoughtful evolution\u201d that \u201censures\u201d that the ceremony remains, \u201cdeeply engaging and tailored to the television audience\u201d. <\/p>\n
Snubbing actors like David Harbour, Dakota Fanning, and Richard Gadd is surprising, as Gadd was an Emmy darling for his 2024 series Baby Reindeer.<\/p>\n
The 2026 Emmys will be hosted by Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay. <\/p>\n
The Pitt led the pack with 25 nominations, while Hacks came in second with 24. <\/p>\n
Apple TV\u2019s summer hit horror\/comedy Widow\u2019s Bay came in third, with an impressive 19 nominations for its first season. <\/p>\n
The Creative Arts Emmys will be held on September 5 and 6. <\/p>\n
The 2026 Emmys will be held live at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, airing September 14 on Foxtel and BINGE in Australia. <\/p>\n
