2025 Emmy nominations voting: Here's the number of slots in the major categories
In 2020, the TV Academy introduced the proportional rule, a sliding scale of nomination slots based on each category's submission total. The only categories excluded from this are Best Comedy Series and Best Drama Series, which are always locked at eight slots. Every other category's number of slots could fluctuate year to year depending on the number of submissions.

Here's how it's calculated:
20 to 80 submissions: 5 nominees
81 to 160 submissions: 6 nominees
161 to 240 submissions: 7 nominees
241 or more submissions: 8 nominees
Acting categories across the same genre and designation, such as Best Drama Actor and Best Drama Actress, will have the same number of slots (rounded to the higher number) to achieve parity.
Categories with zero to seven submissions will be screened by the peer group. Any entry, up to two, that receives 70 percent approval will get a nomination.
For categories with eight to 19 submissions, the number of submissions will be divided by four and rounded to the nearest whole number to determine the number of slots.

HGTV canceled multiple shows this summer. Here's what we know.
HGTV has come for some of your favorite renovation shows. The Warner Bros. Discovery brand has undergone a cancellation spree in recent weeks, axing a handful of beloved Home & Garden Television (HGTV) home improvement and real estate shows, including the Daytime Emmy-nominated show "Married to Real Estate." Just last month, Warner Bros. Discovery announced it would be splitting into two publicly traded companies, Streaming & Studios and Global Networks. It's not immediately clear which company will air and continue to produce original content for HGTV. "By operating as two distinct and optimized companies in the future, we are empowering these iconic brands with the sharper focus and strategic flexibility they need to compete most effectively in today's evolving media landscape," David Zaslav, President and CEO of Streaming & Studios, said in a statement. HGTV has yet to address the recent cancellations publicly and representatives did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on the matter. Here's what we know so far about HGTV cancellations this summer. 'Christina on the Coast' Christina Haack, host of HGTV show "Christina on the Coast," spoke out in a July 19 social media post referencing reports by People and Us Weekly that the show had been canceled. "Summer so far. Basically just eating and laughing," Haack wrote in the caption for her photo dump."Canceled looks good on me…. Only kidding only kidding." According to HGTV, the series followed real estate and flipping expert Christina [Haack] as she helped clients transform their outdated properties into high-end homes in Southern California. Haack's show ran for six seasons, starting in May 2019, on HGTV. 'Married to Real Estate' After a four-season run, hosts of the Daytime Emmy-nominated show "Married to Real Estate" announced in late June that HGTV had decided not to "move forward" with the show. "While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful," Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson shared in a joint statement via social media. "Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive. And most of all— grateful that we are still very much married to real estate (and to each other)." Egypt Sherrod, a real estate broker and designer, and her husband Mike Jackson helped clients in Atlanta find homes in their dream neighborhoods. "By using their unparalleled real estate expertise, they'll make smart purchases and even smarter renovations while managing their busy family," HGTV wrote of the show. The show made its debut on HGTV in January 2022 and aired a total of 44 episodes. 'Battle on the Beach' Alison Victoria, host of renovation competition show "Battle on the Beach," recently revealed that the show would not be returning for a fifth season on HGTV. Nayak, who co-hosted the show with Ty Pennington and Taniya Nayak, broke the news on her podcast "Pap Smear." Nayak loved working on the show, telling comedian Retta that it was "so fun and funny" but that the editing did not reflect that. "And then all of a sudden, I watch the episode... I'm like, 'well, where'd all that go?' I get it, right, it's a lot of content to try to put into 42 minutes. But where is it? Like, where's the great editing?" Victoria said. "You'll lose a show that way. I truly believe that. And 'Battle on the Beach' did not get picked back up, which is sad, cause it was like adult spring break." Pennington and Nayak have yet to publicly address the cancellation. According to HGTV, "Battle on the Beach" followed three teams of house flippers as they renovate identical beachfront properties for a chance to win $50,000. Ty Pennington, Alison Victoria and Taniya Nayak served as mentors, pitching in to help teams as needed. 'Farmhouse Fixer' Jonathan Knight, co-host of "Farmhouse Fixer," announced in late June that HGTV was not going to renew the show for a fourth season. "A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer. I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season," Knight wrote in a June 25 post. "While I'm still processing the reasons that led to their decision, Kristina and I are so grateful for all your support over the past 3 seasons." The New Kids on the Block singer, who hosted the show with interior designer Kristina Crestin, went on to say that television "has been so incredibly fun for us." "We are so proud of what we created together and look forward to sharing what's next for us." The pair restored centuries-old farmhouses across New England together, working to "keep that history alive by breathing new life into the houses," according to HGTV. "Farmhouse Fixer" made its HGTV debut in March 2021, airing 22 episodes. 'Bargain Block' Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas, co-hosts of "Bargain Block," confirmed in June that viewers would not be seeing them on HGTV "for much longer." "Our entire business and lives have been put through the ringer at the hands of a giant corporation, yet we persist lol. Though you may not be seeing us for much longer on HGTV, we're excited that we've built such an amazing base of followers and we're very excited about the future," the couple said in a joint statement. "Everyone always told us TV is a fickle world and they are very right. Tv is full of a lot of great people but it's also full of some of the worst people I've ever encountered," the statement continued. Bynum said he and Thomas have "always tried hard to stick to what we know and what we're good at which is being ourselves." "We love you all and we're very excited to announce what's next soon!" the couple said. Real estate adviser Shea Hicks-Whitfield, who hosted the show alongside the couple, has not formally addressed the cancellation. According to HGTV, the show followed the trio as they worked on their mission to revive Detroit "one block at a time." "Bargain Block," which premiered in April 2021, ran for four seasons on HGTV. "Partners Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas want to be part of restoring the iconic American city of Detroit," HGTV says. "The scrappy visionaries buy run-down and abandoned properties and transform them into affordable, stylish starter homes for first-time homebuyers." 'Izzy Does It' Izzy Battres, host of HGTV show "Izzy Does It," addressed cancellation rumors on June 9, when a fan asked about the show's second season. "It's not the news we wanted to give, but here it is: there will be no Season 2," Battres replied. "Still, we're so grateful for every single person who tuned in, supported us, and made the first season unforgettable." The show, which premiered in early February, followed the "bustling business" that is Battres Construction, Battres' family-owned renovation and design firm, over the course of eight episodes. "After years of renovating million-dollar homes on the California coast, Izzy Battres uses expert cost-saving techniques to bring luxury renovations to homeowners with relatable budgets," HGTV wrote about the show.

Seth Rogen on the verge of making Emmys history with 4 wins for ‘The Studio'
Seth Rogen is the odds-on favorite to win so many Emmys for The Studio, he'll need to bring a mantelpiece as his plus-one. According to Gold Derby's predictions for the 2025 Emmys, Rogen is out front to win Best Comedy Series (for which he's a producer), Best Comedy Actor (for playing Matt Remick, the new head of Continental Studios), and Best Comedy Directing (for "The Oner"). Plus, he's the runner-up in Best Comedy Writing (for "The Promotion"), behind only the Hacks showrunning trio of Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky (for "A Slippery Slope"). More from Gold Derby Chaos, comedy, and chemistry: Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne ready to Apple TV+'s 'Platonic' to a new level in Season 2 Who is Lynette Howell Taylor? 5 fun facts about the new Academy president Should Rogen win all four, he'd be the only person in Emmy history to win those specific trophies in the same year. In 2020, Daniel Levy won three of the four for Schitt's Creek, but his acting award was for supporting, not lead. Here's what Rogen tells Gold Derby about potentially making history: To date, Levy is one of only three people to have won four Emmys in a single season, the others being Amy Sherman-Palladino for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in 2018 (comedy series, directing, writing, and music supervision), and Moira Demos for Making a Murderer in 2016 (documentary series, directing, writing, and picture editing). Prior to this year, Rogen had amassed five Emmy nominations throughout his career for writing Da Ali G Show (2005), acting in Pam & Tommy (2022), and producing The Boys (2021), The Boys Presents: Diabolical (2022), and Pam & Tommy. He has yet to win. The Studio is Rogen and Evan Goldberg's satirical Apple TV+ comedy that chronicles the behind-the-scenes antics of a fictional Hollywood studio, from promoting films, to notes from executives, to the dramatic casting process, to attending awards shows. The series received a total of 23 Emmy nominations, the most ever for a first-year comedy. (Funnily enough, Apple broke its own record from 2021 with Ted Lasso's 20 bids.) Besides Rogen's four notices for producing, acting, directing, and writing, The Studio is also up for supporting players Ike Barinholtz (as Sal Saperstein), Kathryn Hahn (as Maya Mason), and Catherine O'Hara (as Patty Leigh), and guest stars Bryan Cranston (as Griffin Mill) and, for playing themselves, Dave Franco, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, Martin Scorsese, and Zoë Kravitz. The comedy's below-the-line bids are for casting, cinematography, costumes, hairstyling, music composition, music supervision, picture editing, production design, sound editing, and sound mixing. The last time somebody garnered nominations in Rogen's four specific categories of Best Comedy Series, Best Comedy Actor, Best Comedy Directing, and Best Comedy Writing was in 2023 for Barry auteur Bill Hader. Amazingly, Hader achieved that feat for each of Barry's four seasons, totaling 16 noms. He won the acting award twice in 2018 and 2019, but lost the other 14 bids. Prior to Hader, Donald Glover of Atlanta fame reaped the same four nominations in 2017 (winning for acting and directing) and 2018 (losing all four). And then there are people from decades ago like Alan Alda (M*A*S*H), who received acting, writing, and directing nominations or even wins, but were not considered producers at the time, whereas they would be by today's Hollywood standards. Winning four trophies in a single awards ceremony is definitely in this year. In March, Anora filmmaker Sean Baker took home four Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. The photo of Baker trying to juggle his four Oscars in his arms quickly went viral on social media. Seth Rogen only has about six weeks to perfect his trophy-holding abilities. But remember, Seth, Emmys are way more dangerous than Oscars because of the pointy wings. Be careful out there!

Chaos, comedy, and chemistry: Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne ready to take Apple TV+'s ‘Platonic' to a new level in Season 2
Seth Rogen is taking a timeout from promoting his Emmy-contending The Studio to moonlight on his other Apple TV+ comedy series. Rogen and costar Rose Byrne headlined Wednesday's premiere of Season 2 of Platonic. The streamer transformed the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles into a celebration of the show, which follows Will (Rogen) and Sylvia (Byrne) as they rekindle their friendship later in life. The series abides by its title and shows what a non-romantic relationship can look like in adulthood, when partners, children and careers often take center stage. More from Gold Derby Who is Lynette Howell Taylor? 5 fun facts about the new Academy president 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues': Everything to know about the mockumentary sequel and its soundtrack as new 'Stonehenge' drops Rogen says he's grateful for having two vastly different projects occupying his time. 'To me, it does create a lovely balance,' he tells Gold Derby. 'I love doing this type of comedy, which is a little more slice of life, a little more improvisationally based, and a little more casual in some ways. But to that point, it's much more relatable to the average person than The Studio is, I think, in a lot of ways. 'Honestly, I conceived of The Studio knowing I was also doing Platonic. The ability to do something that's highly regimented and planned and blocked within an inch of its life, and is about precision [like The Studio], to then something like [Platonic], which is about comedians and finding the scenes, and improvising. … To me, doing both is a really lovely gift.' Byrne, whose character Sylvia dealt with marital struggles in Season 1 thanks to her friendship with Will, credits Rogen with helping her hone her comedic chops. 'Seth is funny on a molecular level,' she said. 'He breathes and lives and walks comedy in a way. I didn't come from standup or improv or Groundlings, so to have chemistry with someone who comes from that world is so fun and exciting. I'm always kind of in that orbit, in his gravitational comedic pull. We have a really fun time and it's an unusual coupling, obviously, but it's kind of not too, if you really know us. We're pretty low-key. We're both from the Commonwealth [of Canada] and we like to work, and we work well together. But comedy's so hard, so when you do have that chemistry, you really do go back to that source.' Directors, cocreators and cowriters Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco think that Platonic Season 2 showcases how Rogen, Byrne, and the ensemble can turn tough shoots into comedy gold. 'We cross-board the season because we direct everything, so it's totally out of order when we shoot stuff,' Stoller says. 'We shot one of the scenes that's towards the very end of the season in the first week and it didn't matter because everyone knows their characters and what kind of stories they're telling.' Delbanco agreed, saying, 'We really felt like we hit the ground running this season. Everybody knew what they wanted to do and how they wanted to approach it.' Luke Macfarlane, who plays Sylvia's lawyer husband, Charlie, got the chance to live out a dream this season thanks to his character's participation on a beloved quiz show that might or might not have been famously hosted by the late Alex Trebek. Does Macfarlane think he could successfully compete on the television staple? 'We all watch the unnamed, very popular game show,' he said. 'I think I would do pretty well on it, but we all watch this show and think we have the answers when we would flounder in real life.' As the ensemble made its way along the carpet and was asked to describe the new season in one word, there was one incredibly popular response: 'Chaotic.' Season 2 of Platonic airs Aug. 6 on Apple TV+.
