The Studio on Apple TV+ just beat a record previously held by Ted Lasso
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. The Studio on Apple TV+ took me a minute to get into. That's because this chaos-filled roasting of Hollywood and its self-obsessed denizens is essentially a 10-episode comedy of errors — many, many errors, the majority of which revolve around newly installed studio chief Matt Remick (Seth Rogen) making one dumb mistake after another. I succumbed, eventually, thanks to the general oddball charm of the main cast and the breezy, half-hour pace of each episode, and today's Emmy nominations make clear that Emmy voters feel the same way. On Tuesday, The Studio racked up 23 Emmy nominations, officially beating the freshman-season record previously held by another beloved Apple TV+ comedy, Ted Lasso. That breakout hit scored 20 nominations when it debuted in 2021, and it went on to win seven Emmys — including best comedy series. But with The Studio now standing as the most-nominated freshman comedy in Emmy history, a new bar has been set. Today's Top Deals XGIMI Prime Day deals feature the new MoGo 4 and up to 42% off smart projectors Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Created by Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, Frida Perez and Rogen — who directed, wrote, and stars — The Studio follows Remick's slow-motion unraveling as he tries to run a major film studio without letting it destroy his soul. The show manages to be both a takedown of corporate Hollywood and an ode to the kind of idealism that gets movies made in the first place. As I put it in my review: 'The show is both a brutal critique and a heartfelt love letter to the creative process. Rogen's portrayal of a well-meaning, idealistic man caught in the web of Hollywood's dysfunctional business is hilarious and painfully relatable.' The record Emmy nominations for The Studio, by the way, is not just a win for the show, but also for the continued ascent of Apple's streamer as a prestige TV powerhouse. With a cast that includes Catherine O'Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn, The Studio landed nominations in several major categories, and Rogen himself is up for four individual awards: Lead actor, writing, directing, and outstanding comedy series. Should he win all four, he'll tie the all-time record for most Emmys won by a single individual in one night, joining Dan Levy (for Schitt's Creek) and Amy Sherman-Palladino (for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). The 77th Emmy Awards will be hosted by Nate Bargatze and air live on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS, and will also stream on Paramount+. Bottom line: With Apple TV+ now laying claim to the top two most-nominated freshman comedies in Emmy history, the streamer is making its comedy slate feel just as essential as its dramas.

(Photo by Jack Plunkett/Invision/AP) LOS ANGELES — This year's crop of Emmy nominees were announced Tuesday. 'Severance' led with 27 Emmy nominations, while 'The Studio' led comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on CBS from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host. Here are the reactions for some of the day's notable nominees: Seth Rogen for 'The Studio' 'Being at this point in our lives and making a thing that has this type of attention is just so kind of novel in a lot of ways, and really exciting and thrilling and very validating in a way that I'm not used to being validated.' — Rogen, nominated for best actor in a comedy series as well as writing and directing, in an interview. Evan Goldberg for 'The Studio' 'My mother never wanted me to grow up to make a bunch of filthy R-rated comedies, but she is really proud today.' — Goldberg, nominated for outstanding writing for a comedy series, in an interview. Erin Doherty for 'Adolescence' 'What I love about this job is that when you do the work so wholeheartedly, even when you move on you learn lessons. If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering, and I don't think we do it that often. I'm trying to take that forward.' — Doherty, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, in an interview. Katherine LaNasa for 'The Pitt' 'What does it feel like? it's like if you made coffee for somebody every day for 20 or 30 years, and you liked making coffee and you were paid well for making coffee ... and then one day, 20 or 30 years later, someone said, you know, we really love the way you make coffee and we really appreciate it! ... I love telling stories about the human condition and I really love acting, and so to suddenly get recognized and sort of applauded for it is just a delightful surprise, and just really feels so nice.' 'I went through cancer about a year before I got this job, and I spent some time in the emergency department. ... and one of my worst days was really saved by an emergency department nurse in Atlanta. The things that she said to me just really saved me, and she didn't need to do that. It was just emotional generosity on her part, and I brought all of that into Dana.' — LaNasa, nominated for best supporting actress in a drama series, in an interview after a day of filming 'The Pitt' Season 2. Noah Wyle for 'The Pitt' 'I'm overjoyed that the nominations were spread across all the different departments as it reflects our collective effort. A heartfelt congrats to all my fellow nominees. I'm humbled and grateful.' — Wyle, nominated for best lead actor in a drama series, wrote in a statement. Cristin Milioti for 'The Penguin' 'It's been so beautiful to see how many nominations the show has gotten. I'm so, so thrilled for my fellow cast and crew. It has been a really thrilling wonderful.' 'I had been wishing for a role like that for a long time and searching for one, and I just had the time of my life. You know, I connected with that character so deeply.' — Milioti, nominated for best actress in a limited series, heard about the nomination while running errands. She spoke in an interview. Dan Erickson for 'Severance' 'I cannot begin to express how excited I am to return to the Emmys and see if the sunglasses I left in the bathroom 3 years ago are still there.' — Erickson, who created 'Severance,' in a statement. Jason Isaacs for 'The White Lotus' 'People wanted to watch it. They wanted to talk about it. They wanted to dress as the characters. They wanted to drink pina coladas. They wanted, they wanted to meet, you know, and watch it together.' 'Look, the real world, the clouds are gathering and it's not that easy to be in. It's complicated and challenging to be in and to stay sane and happy and it gave people a happy place to be. And so they just wanted to continue it and so expand it into the periphery of us and our private lives, which seemed a bit odd, but I get why. They wanted to stay talking 'White Lotus' stuff.' — Isaacs, nominated for best supporting actor in a drama series, said in an interview. Michael Urie for 'Shrinking' 'I think there's something about the show that gives people permission to take care of their own mental health. And that is, I feel like, kind of a new thing for us, humans in this society, that we're allowed to talk about it and relish in it … and ask for help. So I'm glad that we're doing and I'm glad that the industry is into it too." 'I didn't really think this would ever happen. I mean, I certainly was aware that Emmys were a thing and that I might someday be in consideration for one, but it didn't seem like it was possible. So it does feel kind of dreamy.' — Urie, nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy series, said in an interview. Tony Gilroy for 'Andor' 'I'm really happy to see that the technical side of our show got recognized and Michael Wilkinson and Luke Hall and the sound departments and the visual effects department. I thought that really got a little bit overlooked last time. I wish there'd been more for the actors.' — Gilroy, nominated for best drama series and outstanding original music and lyrics, in an interview. Stephen Graham for 'Adolescence' 'Poleaxed is a good word, is it not? (I'm) just so happy and so full of gratitude for the ensemble, for the piece itself as a whole, as a collective... Just the fact that there's not one specific person or there's no one specific thing, but each element has been acknowledged, and to be a part of such a wonderful ensemble, to me, is what it's all about.' — Graham was nominated both for best actor and outstanding writing in a limited series or movie. He spoke in an interview. Connor Tomlinson for 'Love On The Spectrum' 'That's amazing...I feel like a leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day.' — Connor Tomlinson, a reality star on 'Love On The Spectrum,' reacting in a video message to the show's five nominations. Jenny Slate for 'Dying for Sex' 'I feel really proud, really proud of our show. Really proud of (show inspiration and producer) Nikki Boyer and all the work she's done. And I just feel so happy that this work came into my life. It's been one sort of happiness after another.' 'Our show really allows people to think about choices they want to make for themselves so that they could have more, so that they could step into the form that they actually like see themselves in, you know, like be the person that they feel that they are, but are somehow kept from.' — Slate, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, spoke in an interview from her home in Massachusetts. ___ Interviews conducted and compiled by Associated Press journalists Hilary Fox, Liam McEwan, Brooke Lefferts, Itzel Luna, Jocelyn Noveck, Ryan Pearson and Alicia Rancilio.

Emmy nominations 2025, Canadian edition: Surprises, snubs and a big haul for The Studio
The Emmy Award nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, marking a very good day for television's American-Canadian dual citizens and green-card holders despite the continuing cross-border tensions. Notably, The Studio, Apple TV+'s satirical series about the declining American motion picture business created by L.A.-based B.C. boys Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, led the way in the comedy categories with 23 nominations. That's a new high bar for nominations for a comedy in its first season, breaking the one set by Ted Lasso (20) back in 2021. Rogen, who stars in The Studio as a hapless studio head named Matt Remick, is himself up for three Emmys altogether: for his acting, his writing and his direction. But he's far from the only Canadian nominated, or the only one with two or more nominations. Catherine O'Hara's been recognized for her performances on both The Studio (of course) and HBO zombie drama The Last of Us (oh!). Jessica Lee Gagné is nominated for both cinematography and directing for her work on Apple TV+'s drama category-leading sci-fi hit, Severance. Indeed, there's are enough Canucks represented in the 2025 nominees that we might as well do a full Emmy Snubs and Surprises … Canadian Edition. While it's far from shocking that Academy of Television Arts & Sciences voters enjoyed a loving satire of Hollywood, one that shot in Los Angeles and premiered in the wake of the wildfires, the overall nomination tally for the Point Grey-produced show was still more than expected. Chalk it up to the well-connected Rogen – who was the subject of a cover feature in Esquire in March headlined 'Seth Rogen is the boss now' – and his ability to land cameos from many of Hollywood's biggest and brightest. Six of The Studio's nominations were for either outstanding guest actor or actress in a comedy series: Bryan Cranston, for his role as studio chief executive officer Griffin Mill; but also Dave Franco, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, Martin Scorsese and Zoë Kravitz, all for playing themselves on screen. Given all that love for The Studio's guest stars, it's hard to understand why Polley didn't get one for her first onscreen role in 15 years in the comedy series. The director played herself in the perhaps the best episode of the first season – directing a long take (the show's signature) that kept being interrupted by Remick's shenanigans. It was at least as good as Howard and Scorsese's cameos. That said, there may simply be more comedic competition in the guest actress performance category. Robby Hoffman, the American-Canadian who's hilarious as a new assistant in Hacks, definitely deserves her slot. In all three of his categories, Rogen is up against other Canadians. He's competing against Martin Short from Netflix's Only Murders in the Building for lead actor in a comedy series. But the big showdown is between him and his creative partner Evan Goldberg and The Rehearsal's Nathan Fielder; they're wrestling it out for awards for both writing and directing of a comedy series. The Rehearsal is simply the most original television show of any genre – so I hardly expect Fielder to triumph on either front. But, at least, he can sleep well at night knowing he did what he could to help prevent future aviation disasters. This hit Nunavut-set comedy starring Anna Lambe that originally debuted on CBC and APTN in January before hitting the Top 10 internationally on Netflix this spring has been warmly received south of the border. Indeed, it's currently nominated for outstanding new program at the Television Critics Association Awards. But North of North's lack of nominations at the Emmy Awards is not a snub – it's a choice made by Netflix. A streamer representative says that the Canadian comedy has been submitted for the International Emmy Awards, and you can only submit to one or the other. The TV Academy clearly didn't mind that Quebec composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer – who's responsible for the offbeat music and weird 'ulululu' sounds that provide running commentary on the characters in HBO's The White Lotus – ran off his mouth about working with series creator Mike White right before the third season aired. Well, the guy is a genius after all. Tapia de Veer is another Canadian double nominee: up for both for outstanding music composition for a series and for best main title theme music, even though some fans complained this season's wasn't as much of a banger as the first two. Season two of AMC's gothic horror series based on Anne Rice's books has a 100-per-cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes – and many thought it would make its Emmy breakthrough this year. It did, but only in makeup and hair. In the writing for a drama category, the show's producers had submitted a single episode – one penned by Canadian playwright Hannah Moscovitch and Jonathan Ceniceroz. Maybe it'll finally sink its teeth into the Emmys with its third season, which is currently shooting in Toronto, and features Moscovitch alongside fellow Canadian stage scribe Anusree Roy in the writer's room. While HBO's Canadian-shot undead drama didn't land as well with critics and audiences in its second season, it's still up for outstanding drama and has 16 Emmy nominations total. One of those is for outstanding casting for a drama series – and the nominated team includes Corrine Clark and Jennifer Page from Vancouver's Clark & Page Casting Inc. Hey, all those mushroom-zombies don't cast themselves. Critics went wild for this FX comedy about a gay Texas high school teacher when it premiered in the fall in the fall. But an allegation of on-set sexual assault levelled against creator and star Brian Jordan Alvarez, dating back to a 2016 web series he created, seems to have derailed its Emmy chances. This is no surprise, but it's nevertheless an unfortunate twist of fate for the top-notch cast of the show including Colantoni, whose hilarious as a long-suffering principal. Not that you can even feel too bad for Colantoni, who has main roles on three TV series, all renewed, at the moment (Crave's The Trades, CBC's Allegiance and, despite it all, English Teacher).

Martin Scorsese Earns First Guest Actor Emmy Nomination For ‘The Studio'
Marty just scored his first Emmy nomination for a guest-starring role. The Oscar-winning director was recognized for his guest spot in The Studio, Apple's comedy from Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen about a fictitious studio and its bumbling new leader. Goldberg and Rogen specifically wrote a scene for Martin Scorsese in the pilot episode, and 'to our absolute shock and bafflement,' he said yes, Goldberg told Deadline. More from Deadline Primetime Emmy Nominations: The Complete List 'Squid Game,' Diego Luna & Elisabeth Moss Snubbed In Emmy Nominations; Beyoncé & Martin Scorsese Among Big Surprises 'Adolescence' Co-Creators Stephen Graham And Jack Thorne Considering New Story "Not About The Millers"; Graham's New Friendship With Springsteen In the scene, Scorsese pitches Rogen's Matt Remick a big-budget movie about Jonestown, describing it as being about 'Jim Jones, the United States Senate, America. It's sprawling, it's big, it's fun, it's f*cked up. Granted, it's f*cked up. But I see it as a meditation on cults, hero worship, mass murder, suicide, everything. It's life.' 'We never FaceTimed with him. We'd never met him until the day he came to shoot,' Goldberg told Deadline. 'He just liked the script and agreed based on the script, which was an absolute miracle.' Scorsese is already a three-time Emmy winner who has already received multiple Emmy nominations over the years for his work on nonfiction series like The Soul of a Man, American Masters and No Direction Home: Bob Dylan. He won his first Emmy in 2011 for directing an episode of Boardwalk Empire. He won two Emmys in 2012 for the nonfiction special George Harrison: Living in a Material World, one of which was for directing. The Studio dominated the guest actor category this year. Besides Scorsese, Ron Howard also earned a nomination for his appearance in the Apple comedy, along with Anthony Mackie, Dave Franco and Bryan Cranston. Zoë Kravitz earned a nomination for guest actress.
