Emmy Nominations 2024: FX Dominates With The Bear and Shōgun, Apple TV+ Makes Waves Post-Ted Lasso

In many ways, this year’s Emmys are in a strange position. From the fact that we already had one Emmy ceremony this year (2023’s celebration took place in January of this year following last summer and fall’s duel strikes) to the omission of major players like the now-ended Succession or the ineligible House of the Dragon and The Last of Us, it was a toss-up to see who would step in to fill the vacuum left by many of our favorite shows.

Well, we now have the answer, and it’s slightly surprising: aside from FX’s record-breaking 25 nominations for Shōgun and 23 nominations for The Bear, the often-underrated Apple TV+ also dominates the major categories this year, with everything from the star-studded The Morning Show to under-the-radar favorite Loot to the limited series triumph Lessons in Chemistry.

Of course, Apple TV+ isn’t the only one showing total domination throughout the nominations, with Abbott Elementary appearing in every comedy category, along with Only Murders in the Building finally securing a nomination for all three of its leads this time around (Selena Gomez is a first time nominee for Season 3 in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category).

The most apparent pattern within these nominations is the importance of the actors roundtables held by publications like The Hollywood Reporter. Many shows got lost in the shuffle of the promoless actors’ strikes last year, with shows like The Fall of the House of Usher unable to send Carla Gugino on a press run, for example. But Apple TV+ in particular got its stars (like nominees Jennifer Aniston and Brie Larson) from those potentially forgotten shows in front of voters and back to the top of our cultural conversation. Where shows like The Curse and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off were completely forgotten, underdogs like Reservation Dogs and Lessons in Chemistry thrived.

With just a few months until the ceremony itself, a number of these categories are anyone’s game, while others feel like sure-fire wins for the year’s most popular and beloved shows.
