US medical drama The Pitt and comedy Hacks lead the nominations for this year’s Emmy Awards, America’s most coveted TV honours.
The Pitt has received 25 nominations in total, closely followed by the final season of Hacks with 24.
British stars in the running include Matthew Rhys – the only person to be nominated for two lead acting awards (for Widow’s Bay and The Beast In Me). There are also nominations for compatriots Riz Ahmed (Bait), Carey Mulligan (Beef), Gary Oldman (Slow Horses) and Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat).
However, there was no room on the best drama shortlist of the 78th Emmy Awards for the final seasons of hit shows Stranger Things or Euphoria.
Stranger Things’ seven nominations all came in technical categories, while Zendaya is the only member of Euphoria’s star-studded cast to be listed in the main acting categories.
Another hit show that has just come to an end, The Bear, made it on to the list for best comedy, but its star Jeremy Allen White was snubbed despite having won Emmys for best lead comedy actor in both 2024 and 2025.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Los Angeles on 14 September.
