The Emmy nominations are here. 'Severance,' 'The White Lotus' and 'Adolescence' could have a big day
The dystopian workplace drama from Apple TV+ achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season that often leads to the kind of Emmy dominance enjoyed in recent years by 'Succession' and 'Shogun."
But a flowering of Emmys tends to follow HBO's 'The White Lotus" wherever it goes, and HBO Max's newcomer 'The Pitt' could challenge for nominations and for wins when the trophies are handed out in September.
All will benefit from the absence of 'Shogun,' which last year led all Emmy nominees with 25 and set a record for wins in a season with 18. Its second season is still in the early stages of production and it shouldn't be around for next year's Emmys either.
'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' was downright dominant on the comedy side.
But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially.
Adam Scott and Britt Lower are virtual locks for lead acting nominations for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' 'innie" work selves and 'outie' home selves. Tramell Tillman is just as likely to get a nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor, and Ben Stiller is bound to get a directing nomination.
'Severance' got 14 nominations for its first season in 2023, but won just two, for its music and its title sequence.
Nominations will be streamed live beginning at 11:30 a.m. Eastern at Emmys.com/nominations. The reality competition series and talk series nominees will be announced earlier on 'CBS Mornings" at around 7:45 a.m. Eastern.
What else may get 2025 Emmy nomination
Apple TV+'s Hollywood satire 'The Studio' could draw a host of comedy nominations for its first season as it takes on previously dominant Emmy veterans like 'Hacks' and 'The Bear.'
'The Studio' star and co-creator Seth Rogen could get nods for acting, writing and directing, and the show's all-star guest stars, including Zoë Kravitz, Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard, may also add some novelty to the nominations.
'Hacks' star Jean Smart has won best lead actress in a comedy for all three previous seasons of the HBO Max series, and is the favorite for the fourth. The show won best comedy series last year too.
'The Bear' set a record for comedy nominations with 23 last year for its acclaimed second season. This year, its third season is up for Emmys (even though its fourth has already aired). It got a more lukewarm reception, leaving its status coming into the nominations murky.
'The White Lotus,' HBO's darkly comic resort drama, submits all the members of its big ensemble cast in supporting categories, which they tend to dominate. Its Thailand-set third season included ballyhooed performances from Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey and Sam Rockwell among several others.
'The Pitt,' HBO Max's prestige medical procedural starring 'ER' veteran Noah Wyle, had reached the top tier of most prognosticators' Emmy prediction lists by the time its first season ended in April. 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. And the show's other doctors and nurses, played by lesser known actors, could draw nominations if 'The White Lotus' cast leaves them any room.
Last year, the British Netflix production 'Baby Reindeer' was surprisingly dominant in the limited series categories. This year, it will surprise no one if the Netflix British crime drama 'Adolescence' does the same in the same categories. It was probably the most acclaimed show of the year. Fifteen-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays the 13-year-old accused of a killing at the center of the story, is likely to get one of several acting nominations.
How streaming has changed TV and the Emmys
All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era, and the 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' at some point on HBO Max, according to Warner Bros. Discovery, 30 years ago an average of 30 million sat down on the same night and watched him on 'ER' on NBC.
The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities, with a few shining exceptions. ABC's 'Abbott Elementary' has annually drawn plenty of comedy nominations and should get its share this year. And Oscar-winner Kathy Bates is a front-runner for the best actress in a comedy Emmy for her role on CBS's 'Matlock.' She would be the first person nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, and the first to win it since 2015.

NYC's Gilded Age mansions for sale amid HBO show's Season 3
New York City is known for its unique buildings and architecture, but fans of HBO's 'The Gilded Age' might not know the inspiration behind the elaborate mansions they see on TV. The lavish, 1800s buildings and interiors in the drama were inspired by Stanford White, a real-life architect of that era who transformed Manhattan before being brutally gunned down by the husband of an ex-lover. White and his firm, McKim, Mead & White, were the most significant Beaux-Arts architects at the turn of the 20th century. Their work included designing Madison Square Garden, the Washington Square Arch, Judson Memorial Church, the original Penn Station and more. 23 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 is airing on HBO. HBO Max White was shockingly murdered at one of the iconic NYC landmarks he helped create. On June 25, 1906, millionaire playboy Harry K. Thaw fatally shot White at the rooftop theatre of Madison Square Garden. When asked his reasoning for pulling the trigger, Thaw simply responded, 'He ruined my wife.' At the time, Thaw was married to a young showgirl named Evelyn Nesbit, who was White's ex-lover. The murder trial would go on to be the first in history coined as the 'trial of the century,' according to the Library of Congress. 23 Architect Stanford White, who was murdered by Harry Thaw. Bettmann Archive 23 Evelyn Nesbit, Thaw's wife and Stanford White's former mistress. Bettmann Archive 23 Left to right: Harry K. Thaw and Stanford White. Bettmann Archive While his life came to an end in a tragic and brutal way, White's projects are still gems around the city. His creations during what came to be known as 'The Gilded Age' were so impactful that the creator of the Emmy-winning drama, Julian Fellowes, even wrote him into the script. White was played by John Sanders in Season 1, with the character being hired by the most elite and wealthiest families, as well as those with 'new money,' to design the most impressive and extravagant mansions in the city, including the Russells' grand, Beaux Arts, fictional residence. With Season 3 of 'The Gilded Age' in full swing, The Post spoke to the top real estate agents around the city about some of the fallen architect's stunning creations that are actually on the market — and how the HBO series is influencing today's robber barons looking to buy. 23 A scene from 'The Gilded Age.' HBO Max 'The Gilded Age' impact 'New Yorkers love to watch The Gilded Age!' Elena Sarkissian, a top agent at Douglas Elliman, told The Post, admitting she's one of them. 'I can't tell you how many people have come in to tour with me for a prospective purchase and have made the connection between the architect and the show. Now that the latest season is airing, people are talking about it even more,' she explained. Tim Rooney, a partner at Jeffrey Beers International, agreed. 23 The show's elaborate fictional mansions were inspired by White's designs. AP 23 Cynthia Nixon in 'The Gilded Age.' HBO Max 'Buildings like 108 Leonard, designed by the legendary McKim, Mead & White, embody the grandeur and ceremony of the Gilded Age. Every detail—from the intricately layered façade that draws the eye skyward, to the soaring marble staircases and voluminous lobby—was designed to impress and inspire,' he shared with The Post. Rooney added that the details of the building 'speak to a level of craftsmanship and drama rarely found in modern architecture,' noting that 108 Leonard is 'extraordinary' and 'allows residents to live within a true Gilded Age landmark while enjoying all the comforts and conveniences of contemporary life—a rare blend of history and modern luxury.' Scroll to see the 'Gilded Age' listings: 23 108 Leonard – the Clock Tower penthouse Evan Joseph Images As mentioned above, one of the most impressive is the Tribeca landmark 108 Leonard, which was built by White and his team in the 1890s. What was once a life insurance company's headquarters has been transformed into ultra-luxury condos with a Parisian flair. Its residential lobby has similar aesthetics to the uptown mansion lobby owned by Carrie Coon's character, Bertha Russell. While Sarkissian serves as the director of sales at 108 Leonard, it was Rooney's firm that repositioned the property as condos. 'Stanford White was a celebrated character of his era for his vision of Italian Renaissance Revival and Beaux Arts architecture during the 'Robber Baron' industrialist era in the US,' she told The Post, noting his controversial past and death. 23 Inside 108 Leonard's Clock Tower penthouse. Evan Joseph Images 23 Another interior shot of the desirable penthouse. Evan Joseph Images However, people of wealth today are drawn to the history, with Sarkissian explaining that those who have been exposed to McKim, Mead & White's tremendous architecture in NYC, 'appreciate the grandeur and attention to detail of Stanford White's work.' She called 108 Leonard 'a masterpiece both inside and out,' noting that buyers are 'in awe of the spectacular lobby and mezzanine.' They are also 'enchanted by the grandeur of the main staircase and the incredible Marble Room,' which, she shared, was formerly the President of NY Life's office and is now a lounge. 23 The penthouse is currently on the market for $19.25 million. Will Ellis/DDReps for Corcoran 'The ornate landmarked exterior is a feast for the eyes with different size and shaped windows on every floor, its exterior detailing including eagles and gargoyles,' she continued about the property, pointing out that the full city block building is 'bookended by the copper-clad historic Cupola at one end and the historic Clocktower at the other end.' While noting that having the ability to purchase a piece of provenance 'is a rarity,' she said it's been a 'huge draw' for this particular property, which is 90% sold since opening sales in 2018. We're told there are limited remaining homes for sale, including the iconic Clock Tower penthouse, which is going for $19.25 million. 23 Inside the 9 West 54th Street property.

Natalie Rakowski, who is representing the property with Evan Rowan and Stephen Gallagher of Douglas Elliman, explained why this property is one-of-a-kind in NYC.

Stranger Things Trailer, Emmy Snubs, And More TV And Movie News
Welcome to Screen Time! I'm Nora, and if there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that I love watching TV and movies. I also absolutely love being absorbed in fandoms. This week in Screen Time, all I can think about is The Summer I Turned Pretty returning, and how I am ready to watch the downfall of Jeremiah Fisher. I also share what's all over my FYP — like Emmy nominations (and snubs) and the Stranger Things trailer — and what we've got going on over on BuzzFeed Celeb's YouTube channel, plus so much more. Listen, I even find time to explain which Grey's Anatomy death I cheered for. Thanks for joining me! The Summer I Turned Pretty — watch for: The love triangle. Of course. Streaming on Prime Video, new episodes every Wednesday It wouldn't be summer without The Summer I Turned Pretty. Based on Jenny Han's third book in the trilogy, the final season begins with Belly (Lola Tung) in a long-term relationship with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). As they grow up and their lives start to get more complicated, Belly must decide if Jeremiah really is "the one," or if Conrad (Christopher Briney) still has her heart. I'm personally really going to miss this cast once the season ends. Also, as someone who grew up on Twilight and The Vampire Diaries AND One Tree Hill, love triangles are just essential to teen TV, and this one feels like a return to those days. So, just to be clear, I cannot wait for another summer where I defend Conrad Fisher with my life. I Know What You Did Last Summer — watch for: Madelyn Cline's scream queen era. In theaters now Yes, Superman, Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Jurassic World Rebirth are the big summer movies right now, but I Know What You Did Last Summer deserves to be included in that conversation. Like Scream (2022), I Know What You Did Last Summer is a legacy sequel that follows a new group of friends who start receiving mysterious notes a year after covering up a fatal car accident. Directed and written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who is behind Sweet/Vicious, Someone Great, and Do Revenge, this movie brings all the fun from the original, even paying homage to it in several ways, while adding its own flair. While it's far from perfect, the new cast is so entrancing on screen together, especially Madelyn Cline and Sarah Pidgeon, who prove why they're two of the most in-demand young actors right now. Too Much — watch for: Meg Stalter's comedic timing Streaming on Netflix Created by Lena Dunham, Too Much follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), a 30-something New York workaholic reeling from a major breakup. Unable to escape her past relationship, she takes a job in London and swears off love — that is, until she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), who is a series of red flags, but their connection is impossible to ignore. If you love Meg from Hacks, it's worth watching this one to see her front and center in this romantic comedy. Plus, her chemistry with Will is excellent. What really makes this worth watching is Dunham's writing, as it feels like a welcome return to her witty banter from Girls, just set in the present-day dating world. Oh, also, the guest stars are awesome. Like, Andrew Scott, hello, sir! These are some of my favorite things from my FYP, feed, and more: Also, it has been, like, 1,000 years since a new season of Stranger Things dropped, but the final season does in fact exist, as evidenced by the teaser trailer that dropped this week: This week, over on BuzzFeed Celeb, The Summer I Turned Pretty cast — Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Sean Kaufman, Rain Spencer, Jackie Chung, and Tom Everett Scott — swung by to compete in a friendly game of Cast Wars, aka where we see how well they actually know each other. From Lola getting extremely competitive to the cast freaking out about Jackie appearing on Grey's Anatomy way back when, it was so fun. Plus, they guess Lola's favorite Taylor Swift eras, Chris's favorite rom-com, if Sean is Team Edward or Team Jacob, and much more: Also, here's a little peek at my view behind the scenes. (If you watch the video, you can even catch a glimpse of me running in and out, LOL): Where I answer YOUR questions about TV, movies, fandom, and more: Question: Which Grey's Anatomy death is the LEAST sad for you? Picking the Grey's Anatomy death that wrecked me the most is easy: Lexie Grey. But, this makes it a little more interesting because I had to think about characters I've not liked. And, let's be real, this would be easy to answer if Grey's had ever killed off Owen Hunt. And since that is not seemingly happening any time soon, my answer for this one is Reed. She died during the hospital shooting in part one of the Season 6 finale (which was actually the first episode I ever watched live), and I was honestly thankful. Again, I think I hated her because she had a one-night stand with Mark, and if it wasn't clear before, I would die for Lexie Grey. Well, that's all I've got for this week's edition of Screen Time.

The Serious Issue That 'And Just Like That' Is Playing for Laughs Is Generating Controversy
Charlotte York has long been, to me, the least relatable character in the Sex & the City universe—she's privileged, has a lighthearted outlook no matter what and seems to manage family, career and her friends with ease. So I've never been super into her, until the most recent episode of And Just Like That. In season 3, episode 8, she has an unexpected attack of vertigo, an illness that's played for laughs but is no joke, evidenced by the polarized comments about it online. As a vertigo alum myself, I've done a deep dive into the condition. Near the top of the episode, Charlotte is at her gallery, assembling a mattress installation clearly inspired by Tracy Emin's seminal work My Bed, when she bends over and moans softly: 'Kai, may I have your hand? I think my vertigo is back.' 'I didn't think vertigo is real?' the gallery worker responds. 'You know, like Epstein-Barr.' 'Oh, it's a real thing,' Charlotte nods, woozily. 'I had it last year, I had to take to my bed.' Charlotte's condition subsides, then recurs during a long set piece at the gallery, in which Charlotte pratfalls while rushing across the room. Again, when Charlotte explains that she fell due to vertigo, another character looks her dismissively and says 'Is that even a real thing?' Later that same evening, Charlotte is shown entering her home alone, still bent over from the condition, trying to talk to Lisa on her phone. Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Max Granted, vertigo isn't as serious as Charlotte's husband's prostate cancer or Miranda's alcoholism, but online banter calls out the show for its misinformation and insensitivity. In Vulture's comment section, for example, Mediaqueen1985 says she has vertigo, then criticizes the depiction: 'Ugh. More Charlotte as Lucy Ricardo but with vertigo as an excuse. Vertigo usually involves heights, so WTH?' Next, an ear-nose and throat specialist writes 'vertigo isn't a fear of heights, but a room-spinning sensation. Charlotte likely had BPPV, although the depiction was a little…off.' Johnandtara chimes in: 'Nurse here—and I have a few friends in menopause experiencing vertigo, so I think they are throwing it into the mix as a women of a certain age thing.' And finally Nnfowlds opines: 'They sent Charlotte home on her own in a vertigo state? Goofy and irritating.' Reality check—according to the Cleveland Clinic, 'vertigo causes dizziness and makes you feel like you're spinning when you're not. It most commonly occurs when there's an issue with your inner ear. But you can also develop it if you have a condition affecting your brain, like a tumor or stroke. Treatments vary and can include medication, repositioning maneuvers or surgery.' It may or may not involve heights. There are two main types, peripheral and central; peripheral is the common sort. A decade-long study of nearly 1,000 women showed that one type of peripheral, BBPV (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), is increasingly common in perimenopausal women. Watching the show, I was perplexed by the lack of sympathy given to Charlotte when she's incapacitated, since I have had stress-induced bouts of the condition. Initially, I woke up with the room spinning so profoundly, alone and frightened, that I speed-dialed a friend to come take me to the emergency room. (My condition was diagnosed and I was given anti-nausea medication.) After subsequent attacks, an ENT taught me the Epley Maneuver, a head movement exercise designed to reposition the ear crystals that cause BBPV. It's a recurring condition for me, in the manner of commenter Itcouldbeworse: 'I had it for months, but only when I got up from bed too quickly (luckily.) The room would spin. Even after it stopped happening, I got up very slowly for a long while, in case it had come back. (The first time it had happened, there was no warning.)' Here's the rub: Never once did anyone suggest that I might be fantasizing my illness, or doubting that the condition even exists. Nor would anyone have sent me home, unaccompanied, if I couldn't walk straight. Charlotte deserves better—the poor woman is just regaining her footing, so to speak. She's just been through a recent major health scare with her husband, a massive career responsibility and caretaking a heartbroken daughter and teetotaling friend! A little information about her well-being as well as compassion for her is in order. I'm left with a lingering bad taste about the whole vertigo storyline, maybe best expressed by Hotfoot2020: 'Gross how it was played for laughs. I've noticed people aren't very caring on this show when someone's sick. Things get quippy in no time. UGH. Are there any humans left in the writers' room or is this all the work of a Temu bot?' I Have a Major Theory About 'And Just Like That' Season 3—and OG 'Sex and the City' Fans Are Gonna Love it Solve the daily Crossword
