With the 78th Emmy Awards well underway, it’s officially TV’s biggest night — which means the stars are hitting the red carpet in their Monday best.
Heading into the evening, HBO Max’s medical drama “The Pitt” leads with 25 nominations, followed closely by “Hacks,” also from the streamer, with 24. (That number made Emmy history, making the fifth season of the show not only the most nominated final season of a comedy in the award program’s history, but the most nominated season of a comedy ever.)
Following closely behind is Apple TV’s horror comedy hit “Window’s Bay” with 19 nominations, and Apple TV’s “Pluribus” with 18. NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” leads with 11 nominations on the broadcast network side.
Sterling K. Brown (“Paradise”), Gary Oldman (“Slow Horses”), Mark Ruffalo (“Task”), Rufus Sewell (“The Diplomat”) and Noah Wyle (“The Pitt”) are all nominated for the Emmy Award for best actor in a drama series. In the lead actress in a drama series category, the nominees include Carrie Coon (“The Gilded Age”), Chase Infiniti (“The Testaments”), Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”), Rhea Seehorn (“Pluribus”) and Zendaya (“Euphoria”).
For best supporting actor in a drama series, “The Pitt” stars Patrick Ball, Shawn Hatosy and Gerran Howell are all nominated, alongside Billy Crudup (“The Morning Show”), Jack Lowden (“Slow Horses”), Tom Pelphrey (“Task”) and Carlos-Manuel Vesga (“Pluribus”). The ladies of “The Pitt” also lead in nominations for best supporting actress in a drama series: Taylor Deardon, Fiona Dourif, Katherine LaNasa and Sepideh Moafi earned nods for Season 2. Also nominated are Allison Janney (“The Diplomat”), Julianne Nicholson (“Paradise”) and Karolina Wydra (“Pluribus”).
