The nominations for the 78th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, with the final season of HBO Max’s “Hacks” setting a new record for the most nominations in a single year for a comedy series.
“Hacks” earned 24 nominations in this year’s race, topping the record of 23 set by “The Bear” and “The Studio” last year. “The Bear” was among the big nominees in comedy categories this year, alongside “Shrinking,” “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” and “Widow’s Bay.”
On the drama side, HBO Max’s sophomore season of “The Pitt” and Apple TV+’s freshman series “Pluribus” earned plenty of nominations, as did Netflix’s “The Diplomat” and HBO Max’s “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” and “The Gilded Age.” “The Pitt” was the top drama contender, with 25 nominations total.
Jason Bateman was nominated four times for multiple productions, and six others found themselves nominated three times each — Quinta Brunson, Paul W. Downs, Matthew Rhys, Jason Segel, Martin Short and Noah Wyle.
The nominations were announced by recent winners Liza Colón-Zayas and Jeff Hiller at the Television Academy in Los Angeles.
The 78th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on NBC on Sunday, Sept. 14, with actress Mariska Hargitay as host. The show will also stream on Peacock.
