Compensation And The studioBoth from Apple TV+, were the most nominated shows on the drama and comedy page. Compensation received 27 nominations and The studio 23. Of which Compensation Nominations, nine for actors. The studio Nominations, 10 for actors – including one passage of the categories of guest actors, in which five men and a woman were nominated. The studio And Compensation Both were very well rated, but when you look at the sums, it helps that many famous faces admire people. (See also: The white lotusWhich continues to shoot the supportive categories in the drama.)

The secondary actor in a Comedy series category has a few nice surprises

It will always be annoying that the Emmys never paid much attention to the beautiful, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, funny Someone somewhere On HBO. But in the last year of the justification of the show they found at least space to recognize Jeff Hiller, who played Joel and who gave one of the most striking, warmest and generous appearances of the season. They also recognized an emerging Harrison Ford-Seine first Emmy nomination of all times for his great work in Apple TV+ shrinkageThat was one of the most disappointing snubs last time.

The streaming players always change

The great streamers of the Emmys Netflix and Hulu were for a while, but Apple TV+, Max and Disney+ were well established at this time in the preliminary. Apple TV+ must be enthusiastic about the big shows The studio And CompensationPlus shrinkage And Slow horses And even that lala Suspected innocent Miniseries. HBO is still very popular among the voters, but its presence is changing a little. When it comes to great nominees, there is The white lotus And The last of us On the drama side and those that were broadcast on traditional HBO. But then there is The pictures In the drama series, and Hacks In the comedy, and they were on Max or what Max War- with other words at the time, they only stream. (An outlier: The penguinWhat takes part in the Limited/Anthology Series category was developed for Max, but ultimately broadcast on HBO.) Disney+ also received 14 nominations for Andorand Netflix is still there youthPresent Monster: The story of Lyle and Erik Menendezand with Black mirror. Hulus Top Performer this year, at least according to numbers and without these FX shows like The bearIs Only murders in the buildingalthough paradise Did also well.

There are always some heartbreallers

There is a difference between the concept of a “snub” and a nod that just didn't happen, but there is always some very good work that is not recognized. As a big fan of The picturesI was disappointed not to see Taylor Dearden, the Dr. King played, nominated and as a fan of Netflix's A man insideI would have nominated that. There will be a great dismay about Diego Luna and the rest of the cast is not nominated Andoroften paired with eye roles over all of this The white lotus Nominations that seem to be almost automatically – they get this show, they are nominated.

The greatest fun comes from the first nominated

It's always fun to see that people get their first nod. There are established actors who have not specialized in television, such as Harrison Ford, Colin Farrell (in) The penguin) and Javier Bardem and Chloƫ Sevigny (both for Monster). There are surprising first games like Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, both of whom have been on TV for ages and were finally nominated for Netflix Nobody wants that. Exciting actors hunting into the air, like Tramell Tillman and Zach Cherry, both Compensation. The great Michael Urie, nominated for shrinkage and worth every voice; The wonderful Cristin Milioti, who was the best in several different shows and is now nominated for The penguin.

And in the end there is of course all of these nominations for The studioWhich would give the entire process a strong side eye as a show business satire.
