2024 Emmy Nominations: ‘The Bear’ Sets New Record for Comedies



CNN

The nominees for the 76th Emmy Awards – television’s highest honor – were announced Wednesday morning and “The Bear” loved them.

The beloved FX series, set in a Chicago sandwich shop, earned 23 nominations this year, breaking the record of 22 set by NBC hit “30 Rock” in 2009.

In the drama category, “Shogun” had the most nominations this year with 25.

The all-time record of 32 nominations, held by HBO’s “Game of Thrones” since 2016, remains unbroken. HBO is owned by CNN’s parent company.

Some past favorites, including “Succession” and “Ted Lasso,” were out of the running this year, but “The Crown” and “The Morning Show” and “Only Murders in the Building” emerged as the new “legacy shows” with multiple nominations.

Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tony Hale announced this year’s nominees. Television Academy President Cris Abrego shared the news that Ralph was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her work in “Abbott Elementary.”

Ralph won in this category in 2022.

The 76th Emmy Awards will air Sunday, September 15 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC and stream the following day on Hulu.
