The Latest:
Kendrick Lamar and 'SNL' earn Emmy nominations
Both Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show and the 50th anniversary 'Saturday Night Live' concert earned nominations in the variety special (live) category.
They're joined by Netflix's Beyoncé Bowl and rounded out by less musical events: the Oscars and 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special.'
Some music documentaries miss Emmy nominations. Questlove's 'Sly Lives!' gets nod
It could've been a big year for Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles and the singular composer John Williams in the documentary or nonfiction categories, but they just missed the mark.
Though those giants of genre didn't grab nods this year, Questlove's 'Sly Lives! (Aka The Burden Of Black Genius)' documentary did.
'Severance' leads the field with 27 Emmy nominations. 'The Studio' tops comedy with 23
'Severance' leads the field with 27 Emmy nominations, while 'The Studio' tops comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+.
Need to catch up?
Seasons 1 and 2 of 'Severance'' stream on Apple TV+ and would take a total of 15 hours and 29 minutes. 'The Studio' on Apple TV+ has 10 episodes and would take 5 hours and 15 minutes to watch them all.
Ashley Walters is a rapper, actor and Emmy nominee
Supporting actor in a limited series nominee Ashley Walters first made his name in the U.K. as a rapper in the vast So Solid Crew under the name Asher D — and featured on their iconic hit '21 Seconds' in 2001.
But the 'Adolescence' star had been acting since way before that and he's had two long-running roles on either side of the law — as drug dealer Dushane in 'Top Boy' and a police officer in British procedural 'Bulletproof.'
Where's 'The White Lotus' ensemble?
Don't go looking for the ensemble of 'The White Lotus' in the lead acting categories at the Emmys — they're hanging out in the supporting categories.
Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell and Aimee Lou Wood all get a nod as do Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs and Sam 'monologue' Rockwell.
Even Scott Glenn is in the running in the guest category for playing Jim Hollinger.
But what happened to BLACKPINK's Lisa, Tayme Thapthimthong or the Ratliff kids — Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola? No love either for Coon's on-screen frenemies, Michelle Monaghan and Leslie Bibb, Rockwell's real-life partner.
'Bridget Jones' is a TV movie?
In the U.S., yes. While 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' was distributed theatrically abroad, the latest installment of the Renée Zellweger-starring franchise was directly released on Peacock stateside, making it eligible for the Emmys.
How this year's nominees stack up against record holders
'Severance' leads all nominees with 27, but 'Game of Thrones' still holds the record for most nominations for one show in a season — 32, in 2019.
The show did break a record for Apple TV+ — previously, 'Ted Lasso' was the streamer's most nominated show for one season, with 21 nominations in 2023.
'The Studio,' though has tied 'The Bear's' 2024 record for comedy series, with 23.
Noah Wyle and Adam Scott compete for Emmy No. 1
Noah Wyle and Adam Scott are TV veterans who've never won an Emmy. They're now considered close co-favorites for best actor in a drama after getting nominations — Wyle for 'The Pitt' and Scott for 'Severance.'
It's Wyle's sixth nomination. He was up for Emmys five times for playing Dr. John Carter in 'ER' but never won. Now he can get one for playing a very similar character later in life. Scott spent five seasons as a regular on 'Parks and Recreation' but didn't get his first nomination until his starring role on 'Severance.'
Does Kathy Bates have a lock on best drama actress?
Kathy Bates is considered the runaway front-runner for best actress in a drama. It would be a weird one if she goes on to win for CBS' 'Matlock.' She's the first to be nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, when Viola Davis was nominated for ABC's 'How To Get Away With Murder.'
She would be the first woman from a network show to win best actress in a drama since 2015, when Davis won, and the first actor in any drama category to win since 2017, when Sterling K. Brown won for NBC's 'This Is Us.'
It's the 15th time Bates has been nominated. She's won twice before.
Nominees for talk and reality competition series are released early
Two categories were announced early on 'CBS Mornings.'
The nominees for talk series are 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,' 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
The nominees for reality competition series are: 'The Amazing Race'; RuPaul's Drag Race'; 'Survivor'; 'Top Chef' and 'The Traitors.'

Shohei Ohtani's wife stuns baseball fans as she makes rare public appearance on MLB All-Star red carpet
Shohei Ohtani's wife Mamiko Tanaka made a surprise appearance on the red carpet for the MLB All-Star game Tuesday. The Japanese baseball star, who is extremely private, married Tanaka in a secret ceremony in 2024. However, the couple have shied away from the spotlight with Tanaka, a former basketball player, rarely making public appearances with her husband. Yet, she stunned fans when she joined her husband on the red carpet ahead of Tuesday night's showdown between the National and American Leagues. Tanaka, who gave birth to the couple's first baby earlier this year, cut an elegant figure in a flowy apricot gown, which was cinched at her waist. She accessorized the chic look with an eye-catching pair of diamond drop-down earrings. She dazzled on the amr of her husband, who looked dapper in a navy double-breasted suit and pale blue buttoned-up shirt. Ohtani and Tanaka quietly tied the knot in early 2024. It took the baseball sensation, who is extremely private, a few weeks to reveal exactly who she was after first announcing that he had wed a mystery woman in February. Tanaka, who shies away from the spotlight, joined her husband at the MLB All-Star game 'I began a new chapter in my career with the Dodgers, but I also have started a new life with someone from my native country of Japan who is very special to me,' he said on social media. Tanaka is a 28-year-old former Japanese basketball player who played in the country's top women's league. In April, they welcomed a baby girl into the world, just over a month since stunning the baseball world with their surprise nuptials. Since exchanging their vows, Tanaka has made only a limited number of public appearances with the Los Angeles Dodgers phenom. She did, however, join the two-way star on the red carpet for last year's edition of the All-Star game. Meanwhile, the red carpet was filled with baseball power couples in Atlanta as Yankees sensation Aaron Judge and his wife Samantha also stepped out for the pre-game fanfare. They also welcomed a daughter, Nora, in January. Social media sensation and former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne also made an appearance to support her MLB beau Paul Skenes, who started on the mound for the National League. The TikTok star was also at Truist Park in Atlanta with her Pirates-star beau Paul Skenes for the annual All-Star Game event on Monday night. And while taking in the action, Dunne could not believe her eyes when Pittsburgh outfielder Oneil Cruz let rip with one of his 21 home runs that saw him advance to the semifinals. Cruz, who crushed a 513-foot homer on the night, averaged 447 feet during the first round with a top exit velocity of 118mph. Dunne shared a video on Instagram of the Dominican star sending one flying into the stands, before spinning the camera round to show her stunned reaction. She also included the caption 'holy cr@p' while saying in the background 'oh my god'.

Iconic LA nightclub loved by A-listers suddenly closes after 35 years in business
A star-studded Los Angeles club has announced shocking plans to shutter before the end of the year - marking the end of an era for the iconic city's nightlife scene. The Mayan, which has been a downtown LA staple for 35 years, alerted its more than 31,000 Instagram followers it will being closing in September. 'It is with heavy yet grateful hearts that we announced The Mayan will be closing its doors at the end of September, after 35 unforgettable years,' its owners wrote on Monday. 'To our loyal patrons, community, and friends; thank you for your unwavering support, your trust, and your countless memories we've created together. You made every night truly special.' While The Mayan debuted as a nightclub in 1990, its history stems way back to 1927, when the historic venue opened to the public as a theater. It was designed by Mexican sculptor Francisco Cornejo and architects, who drew inspiration from pre-Colombian American societies, The Los Angeles Times reported. The 1,491-seat Mayan Theatre started as a space for musical performances, and quickly became a symbol of 1920s Mayan Revivalism architecture. It flip-flopped in ownership several times - spending years promoting Spanish films before become a porno theater in the 1970s and 1980s, according to The Wrap. In 1989, LA made the building a Historic-Cultural monument, as it reflects 'the broad cultural, political, economic or social history of the nation, state, or community,' according to the city. The following year, The Mayan was purchased by its current owners, and has since become an A-lister magnet for its lively events and concerts. Over the years, the club has welcomed its fair share of celebrities, and hosted performances from bands including Panic! At the Disco and Linkin Park. Other artists including MIA, Jack White and Prophets of Rage have also hosted concerts there. While its purpose evolved over the years, The Mayan's architectural integrity has remained - featuring detailed carvings and ancient cultural patterns from Aztec and Mayan civilizations. Another standout quality of the seven cathedral-esque windows surrounding its entrance. In response to the nightclub's closure announcement, hundreds of party-loving patrons - including some prominent names - expressed their grief in the comment section. 'Absolutely iconic venue for LA. It will be missed,' LA-based electronic artist Rinzen wrote. 'Thank you for so much great live music,' added SiriusXM disc jockey and voice actress Kat Corbett. 'Dtla is turning into a ghost town. Sad for those who still remember the awesome light life it one had. RIP to Coles, The Falls, art walk, and now the Mayan theater,' someone added. Another passionately asked: 'WHY??? WHY ARE ALL THE COOL PLACES CLOSING DOWN?' The Mayan's president, Sammy Chao, told the LA Times a slew of 'adversity' had led up to the difficult decision. Ever since COVID, Chao explained, business has been on a downward slope. Rising operation costs combined with wildfire fallout and other broader issues have also contributed to the struggles faced by The Mayan. 'We've done everything possible to stay afloat, adapt and serve, but the path forward has been eroded beyond recognition,' Chao wrote to the LA Times. 'We have given this business everything we have — and more — and come this far, so the decision to close is not so much one of defeat, but of necessity and truth.' While the nightclub is set to close for good on September 13, it is unclear what the future holds for the legendary building.
