On July 8, the Television Academy announced the official nominees for the 78th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. The ceremony, set for September 14, is (as always) star-studded and diverse in program recognition and showcasing cast and crew’s talent.
Both new and old names are featured in this year’s roster. From classic fan-favorites like The Pitt, Hacks and Abbott Elementary to newer series spotlighted for their reception: Widow’s Bay and Pluribus.
Regardless of who will end up with the award, every show, actor, actress, writer, and director presented a mass of talent the industry is happy to applaud.
