The 2026 Emmy nominations were announced this morning, and the list is full of surprises. Heated Rivalry may not have been eligible, but Connor Storrie managed to nab his first nomination nonetheless. As did Kareem Rahmaâs beloved Subway Takes. Hacks broke the record for comedy series nominations in its final season, a record previously held by The Bear, which has raked in several nominations of its own too. Zendayaâs performance in Euphoria earned her a third nomination for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, which means sheâs been nominated for every season of the show, just as Jean Smart has in the comedy category for each season of Hacks. Sally Field earned her first nomination in 17 years for Remarkably Bright Creatures, while Rob Reiner received a posthumous nomination for his work on The Bear.
Less than a day on, the conversation around this yearâs Emmys is already pretty exciting! And if youâve been busy touching grass and your âwatchlistâ has been racking up while your âcontinue watchingâ has stayed the same, The Nodâs resident telephiles are here to tell you where to begin.
