The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards are honoring the crème de la crème of television, and this year's nominees are exceptional.

Shogun leads the 2024 nominations, earning a record-breaking 25, while The Bear boasts 23 in the comedy category. Also among the top nominees are Only Murders in the Building at 21, True Detective: Night Country at 19, and Netflix’s The Crown with 18 nods.

Netflix has taken the lead with 107 nominations, followed by FX with 93 and HBO with 91. Surprisingly, Apple TV+ has garnered 72 Emmy nominations.

And if you're wondering why there's no mention of Bridgerton season 3 (an Evie fave!), it's because the period drama won't be eligible for the 2024 Emmys.

Nevertheless, our top picks mirror the leading nominees this year, including Shogun, True Detective, The Bear, and The Crown. Here are more of the most notable nominees, per The Hollywood Reporter. You can find the full list here.
