Emmy nominations 2026 full list: Biggest winners, snubs, and surprises

The stage is set for the 2026 Emmy Awards this September.

The nominees for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled on Wednesday, July 8.

HBO Max's The Pitt led all programs with 25 nominations, continuing its dominance in the drama categories. Apple TV+ also had a standout showing, with freshman series Pluribus, Margot's Got Money Troubles and Widow's Bay earning major recognition. Widow's Bay emerged as one of the biggest success stories with 19 nominations, while Euphoria was notably left out of the Best Drama Series race despite acting nods for Zendaya and Colman Domingo.

Legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner received a posthumous Emmy nomination, adding an emotional moment to this year's announcements.

The winners will be revealed September 14, with Mariska Hargitay hosting the ceremony on NBC and Peacock.
