What's Good on TV? EMMY NOMINATIONS 2025

The Emmy Awards happen on September 14th. The nominations were just announced.

Scotty note: couldn't finish the White Lotus - what was up with that gross plot line?

Notes: 

- most-nominated: Severance (Apple TV+) got 27 noms.

- The Penguin (HBO) got 24 nominations. 

- Seth Rogen's new comedy The Studio (Apple TV+) received 23 nominations. *That's a record-breaking amount of nominations for a new comedy show... previous record-holder was Ted Lasso*

- The White Lotus (HBO) also received 23 nominations. 

- another brand new show that got a lot of nominations: medical drama The Pitt (MAX/ HBO MAX/ HBO) got 13 nominations.  

Scotty note: The Bear is a good show, but definitely not a comedy. There should be rules! 

Interesting:  

- The Bear continues to get put in the "Comedy" category. Why are they living a lie? Fix this loophole, TV Academy!    

-  no nominations for Squid Game S2

- only 1 nom for The Handmaid's Tale in it's final season

-  Bridgerton S3 didn't get acting nominations 

- Andor gets recognized as a best drama, but none of the actors get nominated? 

Dan Murrell has a great breakdown...
