‘Awards Magnet': Our instant 2025 Emmy reactions
The Emmy nominations are in and you'd better believe that the Gold Derby team has thoughts. On the latest Awards Magnet episode, deputy editor Ethan Alter and senior editors Denton Davidson and Marcus James Dixon are hear to sift through the big snubs and surprises that are a part of any Emmys announcement day. First a topline recap: Severance was the big winner — of the nominations anyway. The Apple TV+ show's sophomore season scored 27 nominations, a near-record eclipsed only by the 32 nominations recieved by Game of Thrones. Speaking of HBO series, The Penguin was the second-most-lauded series with 24 nominations, followed by The Studio at 23. Those are also the most-nominated series in their particular genre: Drama, Limited and Comedy.

The Handmaid's Tale star Elisabeth Moss also missed out on a final season nod — the show's only nomination was for guest actress Cherry Jones. As for surprises, all three Gold Derby editors were caught off guard by Uzo Aduba's out-of-nowhere nomination for the canceled Netflix comedy, The Residence. We also didn't see the Black Mirror resurgence coming as the sci-fi series scored 10 nominations for its most recent season. Finally, the trio makes some personal picks for their favorite surprises and least favorite snubs. Expect to hear some love for The Traitors, Interview With the Vampire and the late, great Somebody Somewhere.

‘Awards Magnet': New Emmy predictions — including those cutthroat lead categories
Who will be squeezed out in the lead categories of five? Awards Magnet host Joyce Eng and a special guest, Gold Derby senior editor Denton Davidson, discuss their updated Emmy predictions as voting continues. With the number of slots per category now set, it's time to make some tough decisions. Or maybe not-so tough? All the lead acting categories will have five slots this year, barring a tie. That sucks for the Emmy hopefuls, but some of these categories have a pretty firm top four — or even five — contenders, which makes chopping a sixth person slightly less difficult. But with fewer slots for voters to fill in, will that inspire more passion picks? Like for, say, underdog Bridget Everett, who's on her last shot to be nominated for Somebody Somewhere? She's in 10th place in the Best Comedy Actress odds. Two years ago, Jason Segel (Shrinking) surprisingly made the Best Comedy Actor lineup in a field of five over Steve Martin (Only Murders in the Building). Will history repeat?

But don't count out Megan Stalter, who had a strong season on Hacks and could coattail off being in the reigning Best Comedy Series winner. Plus: Could Marcello Hernandez be the new Bowen Yang?
