Emmy nominations are finally here.
On Wednesday (July 8), The Bear actress Liza Colón-Zayas and Widow's Bay actor Jeff Hiller announced the list of nominees for the 78th Emmy Awards.
Hacks was heavily celebrated for its final season, earning a record-breaking 24 nods total, the most nominations in a single year in the comedy category, People reports. The Pitt was another top contender, earning 25 nominations overall, including outstanding drama and multiple acting categories.
The 2026 Emmys will air live from L.A. Live's Peacock Theater on Monday, September 14, starting at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay has been selected to host the ceremony, making her the first woman to lead the show in 15 years after Jane Lynch in 2011, according to Variety.
"Bringing important stories into the light has been the heartbeat of my career. It's my great honor to host the 78th Emmy Awards — in the 100th birthday year of my beloved NBC — and celebrate this extraordinary community of storytellers," Hargitay said in a statement. "Whether it's an actor or a director, a costumer or a sound designer, we are all so privileged to take part in creating television that unites us. Regardless of how, where or when we watch, we are together in our laughter, our tears, our love of stories — and our delighted anticipation to see what happens next."
