Due to the 2023 entertainment industry strikes, last year’s Emmys ceremony didn’t take place until January 15th of this year. As a result, there may be a bit of a feeling of deja vu.

The results were fairly predictable if you pay any attention to the medium at all: Shogun landed 25 nominations, with The Bear and Only Murders in the Building close behind at 23 and 21, respectively.

On the strength of shows like Baby Reindeer and The Crown, Netflix led all studios with 107 nominees, with FX next up behind at 93.

Still, despite the seemingly limited pool of nominees, there was a slot to celebrate, particularly with some history-making representation.

Among the most common TV discourses over the past few years is the debate over whether The Bear, the leading nominee in the comedy category, should even be considered a comedy.
