Hacks will compete against Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking and Widow\u2019s Bay for best comedy series.<\/p>\n
The contenders for best limited or anthology series are All Her Fault, The Beast in Me, Beef, DTF St. Louis and Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jnr & Carolyn Bessette.<\/p>\n
Double nominees included Colman Domingo for Euphoria and The Four Seasons, Jason Bateman for Black Rabbit and DTF St. Louis, Matthew Rhys for Widow\u2019s Bay and The Beast in Me, and Nick Offerman for Death by Lightning and Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles.<\/p>\n
Mariska Hargitay will host the ceremony, broadcast on NBC, on September 14 at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Snub: \u2018Rooster\u2019 for comedy<\/p>\n
A messy but well-liked series about the sexual politics of campus life, Rooster was almost entirely excluded from the nominations. Steve Carell managed a nod for lead actor in a comedy. For Carell, a 12-time nominee, it could be a consolation prize. Maybe voters struggled with its depiction of academia. Or they were sick of seeing Dr Cox from Scrubs (John C. McGinley, who plays a blithe college dean here) after the mediocre reboot. Either way, a single nomination was unexpected.<\/p>\n
Surprise: Zendaya for actress in a drama<\/p>\n
Every time Zendaya has been nominated for her role as Rue in Euphoria, she has won. But she faced headwinds this round because of the show\u2019s final season, which received largely negative reviews for its miserable conclusion. Still, Zendaya\u2019s star power peeked through, landing her a third nomination for best actress in a drama series. It\u2019s difficult to predict whether she\u2019ll go three for three this fall, though, as she\u2019s up against Keri Russell\u2019s titular role in The Diplomat and Rhea Seehorn\u2019s live-wire act for Pluribus.<\/p>\n

Surprise: Brittany Allen for guest actress in a drama<\/p>\n
When HBO decided not to include an Emmy submission for Brittany Allen, whose performance in The Pitt as a dying mother garnered raves, she decided to take things into her own hands. After self-submitting, which a handful of other actors from The Pitt also did, Allen ran a campaign on her social media \u2013 which was shared by Emmy-winning actress Sarah Paulson. This morning, Allen found out that she was an Emmy nominee for The Pitt. \u201cYou have to fight for yourself,\u201d she told Variety about the process. \u201cYou have to believe in your work, and you can\u2019t expect other people to do that for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Snub: Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach for \u2018The Bear\u2019<\/p>\n
The one-time Emmys juggernaut earned plenty of love, including nods for outstanding comedy series (cue the annual category-fraud-induced eye rolls) and actors Ayo Edebiri, Jamie Lee Curtis and the late Rob Reiner. But Jeremy Allen White, a two-time winner who was nominated for each of the show\u2019s first three seasons, missed out on a lead actor recognition. The same went for Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who earned two statuettes as a supporting actor. Just as the writing stagnated for Chef Carmy and Cousin Richie in a wheel-spinning fourth season, so did the actors\u2019 Emmy momentum.<\/p>\n

Surprise: \u2018Nobody Wants This\u2019 for comedy<\/p>\n
Emmy voters were warm to the first season of Nobody Wants This, a rom-com about a rabbi and an agonistic woman, offering nominations for its leads (Kristen Bell and Adam Brody) and outstanding comedy series. But even as the show\u2019s second season trailed off in quality \u2013 the Washington Post\u2019s then-TV critic, Lili Loofbourow, said that \u201cthe way it innovates on old formulas set[s] it up for failure\u201d \u2013 its return was rewarded with another nod for comedy series. The residual goodwill, combined with a need to find eight nominations for this category, might explain why.<\/p>\n
Snub: \u2018Stranger Things\u2019<\/p>\n
The first four instalments of Netflix\u2019s sci-fi fantasy nostalgia trip earned best drama series nods, but the send-off season \u2013 which proved so polarising that it launched conspiracy theories about a secret unreleased finale \u2013 was blanked from the above-the-line categories. That meant no nods for past nominees David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown (although Harbour did get in for DTF St. Louis) or scene-swiping baddie Jamie Campbell Bower. This from the same awards body that went on autopilot and gave the maligned final season of Game of Thrones the best drama series win.<\/p>\n
Surprise: Laurie Metcalf for \u2018Hacks\u2019<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard not to love Laurie Metcalf. She\u2019s extraordinary in Lady Bird. It\u2019s always a pleasure to realise that it\u2019s her when watching JFK or Bulworth, or spotting her on an old episode of Monk. Her Tony for Death of a Salesman is well-deserved. But for her return to Hacks, where she plays a tour manager, she\u2019s barely in the episode. Talk about a reputation nomination.<\/p>\n
