LOS ANGELES — This year's crop of Emmy nominees were announced Tuesday. 'Severance' led with 27 Emmy nominations, while 'The Studio' led comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+.
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on CBS from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.
Here are the reactions for some of the day's notable nominees:
Seth Rogen for 'The Studio'
'Being at this point in our lives and making a thing that has this type of attention is just so kind of novel in a lot of ways, and really exciting and thrilling and very validating in a way that I'm not used to being validated.' — Rogen, nominated for best actor in a comedy series as well as writing and directing, in an interview.
Evan Goldberg for 'The Studio'
'My mother never wanted me to grow up to make a bunch of filthy R-rated comedies, but she is really proud today.' — Goldberg, nominated for outstanding writing for a comedy series, in an interview.
Erin Doherty for 'Adolescence'
'What I love about this job is that when you do the work so wholeheartedly, even when you move on you learn lessons. If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering, and I don't think we do it that often. I'm trying to take that forward.' — Doherty, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, in an interview.
Katherine LaNasa for 'The Pitt'
'What does it feel like? it's like if you made coffee for somebody every day for 20 or 30 years, and you liked making coffee and you were paid well for making coffee ... and then one day, 20 or 30 years later, someone said, you know, we really love the way you make coffee and we really appreciate it! ... I love telling stories about the human condition and I really love acting, and so to suddenly get recognized and sort of applauded for it is just a delightful surprise, and just really feels so nice.'
'I went through cancer about a year before I got this job, and I spent some time in the emergency department. ... and one of my worst days was really saved by an emergency department nurse in Atlanta. The things that she said to me just really saved me, and she didn't need to do that. It was just emotional generosity on her part, and I brought all of that into Dana.' — LaNasa, nominated for best supporting actress in a drama series, in an interview after a day of filming 'The Pitt' Season 2.
Noah Wyle for 'The Pitt'
'I'm overjoyed that the nominations were spread across all the different departments as it reflects our collective effort. A heartfelt congrats to all my fellow nominees. I'm humbled and grateful.' — Wyle, nominated for best lead actor in a drama series, wrote in a statement.
Cristin Milioti for 'The Penguin'
'It's been so beautiful to see how many nominations the show has gotten. I'm so, so thrilled for my fellow cast and crew. It has been a really thrilling day...really wonderful.'
'I had been wishing for a role like that for a long time and searching for one, and I just had the time of my life. You know, I connected with that character so deeply.' — Milioti, nominated for best actress in a limited series, heard about the nomination while running errands. She spoke in an interview.
Dan Erickson for 'Severance'
'I cannot begin to express how excited I am to return to the Emmys and see if the sunglasses I left in the bathroom 3 years ago are still there.' — Erickson, who created 'Severance,' in a statement.
Jason Isaacs for 'The White Lotus'
'People wanted to watch it. They wanted to talk about it. They wanted to dress as the characters. They wanted to drink pina coladas. They wanted, they wanted to meet, you know, and watch it together.'
'Look, the real world, the clouds are gathering and it's not that easy to be in. It's complicated and challenging to be in and to stay sane and happy and it gave people a happy place to be. And so they just wanted to continue it and so expand it into the periphery of us and our private lives, which seemed a bit odd, but I get why. They wanted to stay talking 'White Lotus' stuff.' — Isaacs, nominated for best supporting actor in a drama series, said in an interview.
Michael Urie for 'Shrinking'
'I think there's something about the show that gives people permission to take care of their own mental health. And that is, I feel like, kind of a new thing for us, humans in this society, that we're allowed to talk about it and relish in it … and ask for help. So I'm glad that we're doing and I'm glad that the industry is into it too."
'I didn't really think this would ever happen. I mean, I certainly was aware that Emmys were a thing and that I might someday be in consideration for one, but it didn't seem like it was possible. So it does feel kind of dreamy.' — Urie, nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy series, said in an interview.
Tony Gilroy for 'Andor'
'I'm really happy to see that the technical side of our show got recognized and Michael Wilkinson and Luke Hall and the sound departments and the visual effects department. I thought that really got a little bit overlooked last time. I wish there'd been more for the actors.' — Gilroy, nominated for best drama series and outstanding original music and lyrics, in an interview.
Stephen Graham for 'Adolescence'
'Poleaxed is a good word, is it not? (I'm) just so happy and so full of gratitude for the ensemble, for the piece itself as a whole, as a collective... Just the fact that there's not one specific person or there's no one specific thing, but each element has been acknowledged, and to be a part of such a wonderful ensemble, to me, is what it's all about.' — Graham was nominated both for best actor and outstanding writing in a limited series or movie. He spoke in an interview.
Connor Tomlinson for 'Love On The Spectrum'
'That's amazing...I feel like a leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day.' — Connor Tomlinson, a reality star on 'Love On The Spectrum,' reacting in a video message to the show's five nominations.
Jenny Slate for 'Dying for Sex'
'I feel really proud, really proud of our show. Really proud of (show inspiration and producer) Nikki Boyer and all the work she's done. And I just feel so happy that this work came into my life. It's been one sort of happiness after another.'
'Our show really allows people to think about choices they want to make for themselves so that they could have more, so that they could step into the form that they actually like see themselves in, you know, like be the person that they feel that they are, but are somehow kept from.' — Slate, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, spoke in an interview from her home in Massachusetts.

Josh Allen, Bills embrace the ‘Hard Knocks' spotlight in training camp

Josh Allen was reminded how much additional scrutiny the Buffalo Bills are under this summer upon reaching the interview tent and noticing the HBO series Hard Knocks camera crew ready to start filming. 'You guys are everywhere,' the quarterback said with a smile as the Bills opened training camp in suburban Rochester, New York, on Wednesday. No stranger to the spotlight, the reigning NFL MVP, who married Hollywood star Hailee Steinfeld in May and signed one of the league's richest contracts in March, joked being mindful of his language while being mic'd up during the 90-minute practise. 'Yeah, I tried not to cuss as much,' Allen said. 'Just making sure that anything that I say my mom would be OK with.' Allen's trying to keep things rated PG. Canada's diehard Bills fans take over bars and backyards for playoff game that could make Super Bowl history And the Bills are welcoming the opportunity to pull back the curtain and reveal whatever the cameras might capture — warts and all — as insight into what's allowed the franchise to flourish entering its ninth season under coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane. 'We have nothing to hide. We are who we are,' said McDermott, who ended the team's 17-season playoff drought in his first year in 2017, and guided Buffalo to six consecutive playoff appearances and win five straight AFC East titles. Just don't call the Bills' five-week Hard Knocks series run opening on Aug. 5 a distraction. 'The increased noise, if you will, is maybe in some ways good practice for us to really hone in and get our focus where it needs to be,' McDermott said. The series trailer HBO released Wednesday shows a confident, determined team with a clip of Allen saying: 'We're going to do whatever we can do [to] bring a Lombardi back here to western New York.' Successful as the Bills have been in posting double-digit wins in each of their past six seasons, they've come up short in the playoffs and usually against the Chiefs. Four of Buffalo's past five playoff losses have been against Kansas City, including a 32-29 loss in the AFC championship game in January. 'Ultimately, you got to go out and do it,' Beane said, before noting how Allen and other Bills veterans can build on their experiences. 'I'm a firm believer that you keep swinging the sword, you keep fighting, you do not give in, you work harder and you use that frustration.' Though once again favored to win the AFC East, the Bills enter camp with several subplots beginning with starting running back James Cook's desire to land a contract extension while entering the final year of his deal. After skipping the Bills voluntary spring sessions, Cook explained his reasoning for participating in the team's mandatory sessions last month by saying: 'I like my money. That's why I'm here.' Beane on Wednesday provided no update on contract talks, reiterated how he doesn't have the salary cap space to fit Cook's asking price of US$15-million per season, and credited the player for reporting for camp. 'James is a competitive dude. He's a stud. He is a great teammate. He wants to be here,' Beane said of the NFL's co-leader last season with 16 touchdowns rushing. 'James fits Buffalo. But sometimes you can't get on the same page.' On the injury front, defensive end Joey Bosa resumed practising after the oft-injured free-agent addition missed the spring sessions with a calf issue. The 30-year-old is coming off three injury-shortened seasons, in which he combined for 14 of his 72 sacks over 28 games with the Chargers. Buffalo signed Bosa to a one-year US$12.6-million contract in March in a bid to fill the pass-rushing role after Von Miller was cut. Meantime, the Bills opened camp with tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) on the non-football injury list and starting right tackle Spencer Brown (back) on the physically unable to perform list. Beane didn't provide a timeline in saying both should be cleared for practice sooner than later. While the Bills offence returns mostly intact, the defence has been retooled. Aside from Bosa, Buffalo revamped its defensive front with the free-agent signings of Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht — both expected to miss the first six games serving suspensions for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Cornerback Tre'Davious White is back for an eighth season in Buffalo after splitting last year between the Rams and Ravens. And the Bills will rely on several rookies to make immediate contributions from a draft class that included cornerback Maxwell Hairston, defensive tackle T.J. Sanders and defensive end Landon Jackson. Long snapper Reid Ferguson is Buffalo's lone active player to precede McDermott, having signed in 2016 during Rex Ryan's second and final season. Reflecting back, Ferguson laughed at how different a Hard Knocks series might have been during Ryan's tenure when the colourful coach once munched on dog biscuits during a promotional appearance at camp. Things are different under McDermott, Ferguson said. 'We're not actively trying to not give them drama, not that there's a ton that goes on in the first place,' Ferguson said. 'We're trying to use it as a way to show the Bills in a positive light that I think people have seen us in for the last handful of years.'
