The nominees for the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled Tuesday - and while we won't know the winners until September, AppleTV+ has dominated the nominations. Severance dominated the field with 27 nominations, while The Studio led comedy nominees with a record-tying 23.
No other dramas came close to the dystopian workplace series Severance, which achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season that brought an expected Emmy bounty.
Lead acting nominations came for Adam Scott and Britt Lower for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' "innie" work selves and "outie" home selves. Tramell Tillman got a supporting nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor, and Patricia Arquette was nominated for supporting actress for playing an ousted outcast from the sinister family business at the centre of the show. Ben Stiller got a directing nomination.

That beats the record set in 2021 by Ted Lasso, also from Apple, which scored 20 nominations in its debut year.
Rogen earned nominations for best lead actor in a comedy series, best directing and best writing.
Toronto's O'Hara, meanwhile, earned two nominations - one as best supporting actress in The Studio, and another for a guest role in HBO zombie drama The Last of Us.
As expected, Emmy voters also heaped love on the so-called "Big Four" of comedy: Hacks, The Bear, Abbott Elementary and Only Murders in the Building. Many of those competing in the drama categories were likely just happy the Emmy-gobbling Shōgun is between seasons.
