- 78th Emmy Awards nominations are in, with HBO Max's Hacks leading comedy with a record 24 nominations.
- The Pitt tops the drama field with 25 Emmy Awards nominations, emerging as HBO Max's biggest contender.
- Mariska Hargitay hosts the 78th Emmy Awards on September 14, following the Creative Arts Emmys.
- Full Emmy Awards nominees include Comedy, Drama, Limited Series, Movie, Variety, and Reality Competition.
On Monday, September 14th, Law & Order: SVU star/EP Mariska Hargitay will hit the stage to host the 78th Emmy Awards. But before that – or the Creative Arts Emmy Awards the week before – can happen, there's the not-so-small matter of nominees needing to be announced. That's where Emmy winners Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) and Jeff Hiller (Somebody Somewhere) came in, serving as hosts/announcers for this year's live-streamed rollout of categories and nominations. Big picture? HBO Max's Hacks has set the record for most nominations in a single year in the Comedy category with 24 (previously held by Apple TV's The Studio and FX/Hulu's The Bear, each with 23 nominations). On the Drama side, HBO Max's The Pitt walked away with 25 nominations.
Here's a look at the livestream announcement of this year's Emmy Awards from earlier today, followed by the complete list of nominees and categories for the NBC primetime ceremony:
