Emmy Awards nominations 2024: The Bear and Shogun lead the list as Jennifer Aniston, Sofia Vergara and Selena Gomez also score nods

The nominations for the 76th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on Wednesday morning.

Hit drama series Shogun, which transported viewers to early 17th-century Japan, topped television's Emmy nominations earning 25 nods.

The Bear broke the comedy record for most nominations in a single year, with 23, ahead of Only Murders in the Building which landed on 21.

True Detective: Night Country, starring Jodie Foster, topped the limited or anthology series section, scoring 19 nominations.

Other comedy nominees included Abbott Elementary, set in an underfunded Philadelphia school, and HBO's Hacks, about a septuagenarian comedienne and a millennial writer.

Baby Reindeer, the story of a bartender stalked by a customer, was nominated for best limited series, one of its 11 nods. Creator and star Richard Gadd has said the tale reflects a true story, though a defamation lawsuit argues its portrayal of the stalker is exaggerated.

Emmy-winning actors Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tony Hale named the nominees in a live press event from Disney’s El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.

The Emmy Awards will air live on ABC on Sunday, September 15, from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. A host has not yet been named.
