Top nominees \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d \u201cHacks,\u201d \u201cPluribus\u201d and \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay\u201d will have chances to stock up on Emmys Sunday at an early ceremony eight days before the main awards show and telecast.<\/p>\n
The Television Academy hands out well over 100 primetime Emmys, and most of them will be presented this weekend in a pair of ceremonies at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. They were previously known as the Creative Arts Emmys but have now been rebranded as simply the first two nights of the 78th Emmy Awards.<\/p>\n
The two nights will be edited together to air Sept. 12 on FXX and stream on Hulu the following day. The primetime Sept. 14 ceremony, also at the Peacock Theater and hosted by Mariska Hargitay, will air live on NBC and stream live on Peacock.<\/p>\n
Bad Bunny won his first career Emmy Award Saturday for his Super Bowl halftime show, which was awarded home seven trophies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Starring Bad Bunny\u201d won the Emmy for outstanding variety special, beating out the telecasts for the Oscars, the Grammys and the Tonys. Bad Bunny, nominated under his birth name Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, gets an Emmy as a producer-performer. It was his first nomination. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Pitt,\u201d HBO Max’s day-in-the-life medical series, won best drama for its first season and is this year’s top overall contender with 25 nominations. It could win as many as nine on Sunday. \u201cHacks,\u201d also from HBO Max, got a record-tying 24 comedy nominations for its fifth and final season and could win as many as a dozen Sunday.<\/p>\n
Most of the awards presented this weekend are for behind-the-scenes crew, but big names may also have big moments, especially in the guest acting categories.<\/p>\n
Rob Reiner, who was killed along with his wife Michele Singer Reiner in December, could win a posthumous Emmy. He was nominated for guest actor in a comedy for \u201cThe Bear,\u201d about 50 years after winning two Emmy Awards for his acting on \u201cAll in the Family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Five-time Emmy winner Michael J. Fox is also nominated in the same category for playing a patient on \u201cShrinking\u201d who has Parkinson\u2019s disease, which the actor was diagnosed with in the 1990s.<\/p>\n
The evening’s star power will be increased by the academy moving five categories from the Sept. 14 telecast to Sunday. They include best supporting actor and actress in a limited series, with nominees such as Jason Bateman, Charles Melton, Dakota Fanning and Laurie Metcalf. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Pitt\u201d dominated the drama acting nominations and has two performers up for best guest actor in a drama along with three up for best guest actress. They include Tal Anderson, an autistic actor and an advocate for neurodivergent performers and portrayals. She got her first Emmy nomination for playing Becca King, the younger sister of Taylor Dearden\u2019s Dr. Mel King. <\/p>\n
Dearden, one of four women from \u201cThe Pitt\u201d nominated for best supporting actress this year, will be among the presenters Sunday as will Noah Wyle, the star of \u201cThe Pitt\u201d who is nominated for four Emmys at the main ceremony. <\/p>\n
Five of the seven nominees for best guest actress in a comedy come from \u201cHacks,\u201d including Leslie Bibb and Metcalf, who could take home two Emmys.<\/p>\n
A pair of rookie series from Apple TV could make major marks on the Emmys with a head start Sunday. The horror comedy \u201cWidow’s Bay\u201d could win as many as 10 this weekend. And \u201cPluribus,\u201d the one-woman-against-the-hivemind drama from \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d creator Vince Gilligan, which stars best-actress favorite Rhee Seahorn, could also win 10 at the early ceremony. <\/p>\n
\u201cPluribus\u201d acting nominees Karolina Wydra and Jeff Hiller are also among Sunday’s presenters. <\/p>\n
