Severance leads Emmy nominees with 27 and The Studio tops comedies as Apple TV+ dominates
No other dramas came close to the dystopian workplace series Severance, which achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season that brought an expected Emmy bounty.
'It's been the best kind of morning,' Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss told The Associated Press.
Lead acting nominations came for Severance stars Adam Scott and Britt Lower for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' 'innie' work selves and 'outie' home selves. Tramell Tillman got a supporting nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor. Patricia Arquette was nominated for supporting actress for playing an ousted outcast from the sinister family business at the centre of the show. And Ben Stiller got a nomination for directing the Season 2 finale.
Apple's Hollywood satire The Studio was expected to make a significant showing for its first season, but it romped over more established shows like Hacks, which got 14, and The Bear, which got 13.
And The Studio tied a record set by The Bear last year when it also got 23 nominations, the most ever for a comedy.
Seth Rogen, who co-created The Studio with longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, personally got three nominations – for acting, writing and directing.
Rogen told the AP that 'my ego is in shock' and called the raft of nominations "very validating in a way that I'm not used to being validated'.
His show's A-list roster of guest stars brought in a bounty, with nominations for Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Bryan Cranston, Anthony Mackie, Dave Franco and Zoe Kravitz. The men made for five of the six nominees in the guest actor in a comedy category.
The Penguin, HBO's dark drama from the Batman universe, was also surprisingly dominant in the limited series category with 24 nominations, including nods for leads Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti.
Netflix's acclaimed Adolescence got 13 limited series nominations, including a supporting actor nod for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays a 13-year-old suspected of a killing.
Many expect Cooper to become the youngest Emmy winner in more than 40 years, largely because of a breath-taking episode that is one long therapy session inside a juvenile jail. Like all Adolescence episodes, it's done in one long shot.
His psychologist scene partner, Erin Doherty, was also nominated, for limited series supporting actress.
'If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering," Doherty told the AP. "I don't think we do it that often. I'm trying to take that forward.'
THE WHITE LOTUS, THE PITT AND MATLOCK SCORE IN ACTING CATEGORIES
HBO's high-end soap The White Lotus got its usual flowering of drama acting nominations for its Thailand-set third season, with four cast members including Carrie Coon getting supporting actress nods, and three including Walton Goggins up for supporting actor. It was second in the drama categories to Severance with 23 nominations.
The Pitt, HBO Max's prestige medical procedural, got 13 nominations, including best drama and best actor for its star, ER veteran Noah Wyle. One of its nurses, Katherine LaNasa, was able to squeeze in among the women of The White Lotus for a supporting actress nod.
Wyle, who was nominated five times without a win for ER, could join Scott to make best actor in a drama a two-man race, with both seeking their first Emmy.
The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities in the top categories. Oscar-winner Kathy Bates was a big exception this year. She's considered a heavy favoUrite to win best actress in a drama for CBS' Matlock. She's the first person nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, and would be the first to win it since 2015. At 77, she's also the oldest ever nominee in the category.
ABC's Abbott Elementary, which has kept hope alive for the networks in recent years, got six nominations including acting and writing nods for creator Quinta Brunson.
HBO IS STILL KING IN OVERALL NUMBERS
The Last Of Us brought in 16 nominations in drama categories for HBO to add to the elite cable and streaming giant's totals run up by The White Lotus, The Pitt and The Penguin. Bella Ramsey got a nod for best actress in a drama for The Last Of Us. Pedro Pascal was nominated for lead actor despite appearing in only about half of the season's episodes.
HBO with its streaming counterpart HBO Max has been so prolific for decades in Emmy nominations that it almost felt like an off year without it having a Succession or a Game Of Thrones atop the drama category. But it definitely wasn't. It led all outlets with 142 nominations, the most it's ever gotten.
Netflix followed with 120 nominations overall, including 11 for Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story and 10 for Black Mirror.
Apple TV+ had 79 nominations overall.
Shrinking added to its total with seven in the comedy categories, including acting nominations for Harrison Ford and Jason Segel.
Andor represented Disney+ with 14 nominations. The gritty series from the Star War' galaxy is up for best drama series and a slew of technical categories. Forest Whitaker was nominated for best guest actor in a drama.
He's one of several Oscar winners in the guest acting categories along with Scorsese, Howard and Jamie Lee Curtis and Olivia Colman for their performances in The Bear.
Andor star Diego Luna was surprisingly omitted from the lead actor in a drama category. Other snubs included former Emmy powerhouses The Handmaid's Tale, which got just one nomination, and Squid Game, which got none.
Actors Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song announced the nominations in key categories.
SEVERANCE DELIVERS BIG FOR APPLE TV+
Severance has become a signature show for Apple TV+. The streamer has gotten plenty of Emmy nominations for dramas including The Morning Show and Slow Horses, and Ted Lasso thrived the comedy side.
But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially. Severance became its most-nominated show ever and could easily become its biggest winner when the Emmys are handed out in September, reaching the upper echelons previously enjoyed by Succession and Shogun, which left room for others by taking this year off.
Cherniss said Apple TV+, which has been knocked as the streamer with big stars and big budgets for shows that go unnoticed, was rewarded for taking big swings.
'Severance is such an ambitious show," he said, adding that 'all of the shows that have been nominated took big risks.'
HOW STREAMING HAS CHANGED TV AND THE EMMYS
All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era, and like the Oscars its most acclaimed nominees rarely have the huge audience they once did. While an impressive average of 10 million people per episode watched Wyle on The Pitt on HBO Max, according to Warner Bros Discovery, 30 years ago an average of 30 million sat down and watched him on ER on NBC.
The broadcast networks rotate on who airs the Emmys. This year is CBS' turn. It will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sep 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.

Rising star and new dad David Corenswet wants to be a Superman you can count on
Cast member David Corenswet attends a premiere for the film Superman at the TCL Chinese theatre in Los Angeles, California, on July 7. NEW YORK – Even before he became the linchpin of a new superhero universe, David Corenswet took great pride in being reliable. It is a reputation the American has cultivated since he was a child actor, when he once delivered his lines so efficiently during a commercial shoot that the crew got to go home early. 'I want people to feel that every day my name is on the call sheet is going to be a better day – a little bit of an easier day, and maybe a more fulfilling day,' he said. Now, Corenswet's reliability will be put to its ultimate test. The 32-year-old is playing the iconic title character in James Gunn's Superman reboot, which is showing in cinemas and has earned US$220 million (S$282 million) at the global box office. If this latest iteration is the foundation for the American film-maker and DC Studios head's ambitious, years-long plan to revitalise DC, then Corenswet is its cornerstone, and his take on the character could not be more different from the moody brute Henry Cavill played in the Superman films of 2013 to 2017. Buoyant and good-natured, Corenswet's version sees the best in everyone, winces at bad language (he's more likely to exclaim, 'Golly!' or 'What the hey, dude!'), and is so devoted to doing the right thing that in one chaotic action scene, he even swoops in to save a poor squirrel from being crushed. But this is no boring Boy Scout. Corenswet brings plenty of charm and humour to his portrayal and, during tetchy tete-a-tetes between Superman and his girlfriend Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), shows just how troubled the character can become when his unsolicited do-gooding has real-world repercussions. 'Oftentimes Superman, in media, has been just this perfect blank slate without a personality,' Gunn said. 'And that's not David's Superman at all.' (From left) David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan attend the Los Angeles Premiere of Warner Bros. PHOTO: AFP The 1.93m-tall Juilliard School graduate's first major leading role came in American writer-director-producer Ryan Murphy's period drama Hollywood (2020), a TV series set during the golden age of the film industry – fitting, since Corenswet's own tastes run more to TCM than TikTok. 'He's very much like Superman,' Gunn, 58, said, 'in that he seems very earnest and odd, more like an alien than you would think.' Though people might expect a rising actor on the brink of a breakthrough to live in Los Angeles or New York, Corenswet has instead moved back to the outskirts of Philadelphia, where he grew up. He initially relocated to start a family with his wife, actress Julia Best Warner (their daughter was born in 2024), but he hopes that continuing to live away from the spotlight will keep him grounded in the months ahead. 'I don't really like going out,' he said. 'I like being at home, I like the inside of hotel rooms, I like the woods.' And if he starts getting recognised on grocery runs? 'We'll see what happens,' he said. 'Maybe I'll get some Groucho Marx glasses and a moustache to walk around in.' Gunn, who has spent the past few weeks watching fans fall for Corenswet during their press tour, foresees an unavoidable rise in fame for his leading man. 'I think he's the biggest movie star in the world,' Gunn said. 'I just don't think people know it yet.' Other people in Corenswet's orbit have long had a similar hunch. His manager was an assistant on Cavill's team when that British actor booked the Superman role in Man Of Steel (2013), and he sensed the same potential in Corenswet early on: Whenever he introduced the young actor to industry figures, he would tease that Corenswet was the guy to cast if Superman was ever rebooted. 'I never got my hopes up at all,' Corenswet said, 'but there was always a glimmer in my rep's eyes.' James Gunn (left) and David Corenswet on the set of Superman. PHOTO: WBEI That turned into something more than a glimmer when Gunn took over DC Studios in 2022 and announced that Superman would be his next major project. Still, years of expectations added immense pressure to Corenswet's audition. He said: 'I said to my wife, 'There's something sad about this. As long as they weren't remaking Superman, it was always fun to fantasise about, but now I'm going to audition and I'm not going to get it.'' At that time, Gunn was not much more optimistic about finding his lead. He recalled how arduous the casting search for his Marvel-Disney superhero movie Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014) had been, with hundreds of actors auditioning to play Star-Lord until, after many months, Chris Pratt finally convinced the doubtful writer-director. Gunn warned his DC Studios co-chief, Peter Safran, that he would not move forward with Superman at all unless they could find the right man to embody him. 'And I wasn't sure if that person existed,' Gunn said. Gunn's script scared Corenswet a little simply because it was so different from anything he had seen before: In the first 10 minutes alone, there is a caped super-dog and a quartet of robotic assistants. But also, what if the movie turned out so well that no one could think of him as anything but Superman? 'To that,' Corenswet said, 'I always refer to the great Christopher Reeve, who said in an interview something along the lines of, 'If this is the only part I get to play for the rest of my life, it'll be a great honour to have such an impactful and rich character be your sole partner.'' Ultimately, Corenswet and his wife decided to go for it. 'David, at the end of the day, was the only one who worked,' Gunn said. 'There were other very good actors. But Superman was David.' Almost everything changed over the next year as Corenswet trained six days a week to put on muscle, and then, as he began to shoot Superman, his first child was born. 'I went to work and I played Superman.' he said. 'And then I came home and got spat up on and changed diapers and woke up at two in the morning and tried to take the best care of my wife that I could.' Now, when people warn Corenswet that things are about to get heady, he is sceptical. Family life still grounds him. 'All I can think about is I'm still going to be changing diapers,' he said. 'I'm still going to be making breakfast, I'm still going to be frustrated when my insurance company bills me the wrong amount, or the car breaks down and I've got to figure that out. 'But mostly, what I'm thinking about is just being back at home with my kid.' NYTIMES

Severance leads Emmy nominees with 27 and The Studio tops comedies as Apple TV+ dominates
Severance separated itself from the field with 27 Emmy nominations on Tuesday (Jul 15), while The Studio led comedy nominees with a record-tying 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+.
