Mike White and season three of The White Lotus might be to blame for some of that, as it once again dominated the supporting-actor and supporting-actress categories. Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Aimee Lou Wood, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, and Sam Rockwell were all nominated, posing the eternal question: Who will be the Jennifer Coolidge of 2025? The jury’s still out, though the cast members with the best monologues—Coon and Rockwell—might have a running start.
The 2024 Emmys were rocked when Hacks surged ahead of The Bear, finally beating it for best comedy series. This time around, Hacks also got more total nominations than The Bear—14 to The Bear’s 13—and seems to have more steam, coming off its mostly acclaimed fourth season. But this time around, in the end, both might be steamrolled by The Studio, Seth Rogen’s very insidery and very industry-beloved Hollywood satire. A Rogen acceptance speech, or three—he’s up for directing and writing the show, as well as starring on it—would tie an appropriately meta bow on top of The Studio’s first season.
For now, there’s still time to analyze the Emmy Nominations 2025 list before the 77th annual Emmy Awards kicks off at 8 p.m. September 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Those watching from home can watch the ceremony, hosted by first-timer Nate Bargatze, via broadcast on CBS, and can stream it on Paramount+ Premium.
