Emmy Awards nominations 2025: Severance leads Emmy race with 27 nominations, The Studio gets 23 nods as AppleTV+ dominates
Leading acting nominations came for Adam Scott and Britt Lower for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' 'innie' work selves and 'outie' home selves. Tramell Tillman got a supporting nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor. Ben Stiller got a directing nomination.
Apple's Hollywood satire 'The Studio' was expected to make a big showing for its first season, but it romped over more established shows like 'Hacks,' which got 14, and 'The Bear,' which got 13.
'The Studio' co-creator Seth Rogen personally got three nominations — for acting, writing and directing. Its A-list roster of guest stars brought in a bounty, with nominations for Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Bryan Cranston, Anthony Mackie and Zoë Kravitz. 'The Penguin,' HBO's dark drama from the 'Batman' universe, was also surprisingly dominant in the limited series category with 24 nominations, including nods for leads Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti.
Netflix's acclaimed 'Adolescence' got 13 nominations, including a supporting actor nod for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays a 13-year-old suspected of a killing.
Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song read the nominations in key categories.

The nominees for best drama series are: 'Andor'; 'Paradise'; 'Severance'; 'Slow Horses'; 'The Diplomat'; 'The Pitt'; 'The Last of Us' and 'The White Lotus.'
The nominees for best comedy series are: 'Hacks'; 'The Bear'; 'The Studio'; 'Only Murders in the Building'; 'Abbott Elementary'; 'Nobody Wants This'; 'Shrinking' and 'What We Do in the Shadows.'
The nominees for outstanding limited series are: 'Adolescence'; 'Black Mirror'; 'Dying For Sex'; 'Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story' and 'The Penguin.'
The nominees for best comedy actor are: Seth Rogen, 'The Studio'; Martin Short, 'Only Murders in the Building'; Jeremy Allen-White, 'The Bear'; Adam Brody, 'Nobody Wants This'; Jason Segel, 'Shrinking'
The nominees for best comedy actress are: Uzo Aduba, 'The Residence'; Kristen Bell, 'Nobody Wants This'; Quinta Brunson, 'Abbott Elementary'; Jean Smart, 'Hacks'; Ayo Edibiri, 'The Bear.'
Two categories were announced early on 'CBS Mornings.'
The nominees for talk series are: 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,' 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
The nominees for reality competition series are: 'The Amazing Race'; RuPaul's Drag Race'; 'Survivor'; 'Top Chef' and 'The Traitors.'
'Severance' has become a signature show for Apple TV+. The streamer has gotten plenty of Emmy nominations for dramas including 'The Morning Show' and 'Slow Horses,' and 'Ted Lasso' was downright dominant on the comedy side. But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially. That could change when the Emmys are handed out in September. Adam Scott and Britt Lower got lead acting nominations for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' 'innie' work selves and 'outie' home selves. Tramell Tillman also got a nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor, and Ben Stiller got a directing nomination. 'Severance' got 14 nominations for its first season in 2023, but won just two, for its music and its title sequence.
All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era, and the like the Oscars, its most acclaimed nominees rarely have the huge audience they once did. While an impressive average of 10 million people per episode watched Wyle on 'The Pitt' at some point on HBO Max, according to Warner Bros. Discovery, 30 years ago an average of 30 million sat down on the same night and watched him on 'ER' on NBC.
The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities, with a few shining exceptions. ABC's 'Abbott Elementary' has annually drawn plenty of comedy nominations and should get its share this year. And Oscar-winner Kathy Bates is a front-runner for the best actress in a comedy Emmy for her role on CBS's 'Matlock.' She was the first person nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, and would be the first to win it since 2015.
CBS will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.

Lace, Slit, And A Red Lip: Fatima Sana Shaikh's Afterparty Look Was Pure Fashion
Last Updated: Fatima Sana Shaikh stole the spotlight with effortless elegance in an off-shoulder, floor-length gown with a thigh-high slit. A Bollywood afterparty is always a star-studded celebration. The Dirty Magazine's afterparty was no different. Among the many head-turners that evening, Fatima Sana Shaikh stood out with effortless confidence and quiet elegance. Known for her unique fashion choices and fearless vibe, Fatima delivered one of the most talked-about looks of the night. She delivered a perfect fit for the edgy aesthetic the event embraced. Fatima Sana Shaikh wore a stunning off-the-shoulder, floor-length gown that balanced timeless charm with a modern edge. The dress featured a bold thigh-high slit and was crafted from rich lace or embroidered fabric. A contrasting inner lining brought structure to the flowy outer layer. The gown's muted monochrome palette – in black, white and grey – let the fabric and silhouette do all the talking. Fatima completed the look with open-toe heels that complemented her outfit without stealing focus. Accessories were minimal but well chosen: a statement ring, a couple of subtle jewellery pieces and an overall air of effortless polish. Her hair was slicked back in a wet-look style that highlighted her strong features and gave the whole look a modern, runway-inspired feel. And the final touch? A bold red lip – timeless and striking. On the work front, Fatima was last seen in Metro… In Dino. The Anurag Basu directorial also featured Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma and Pankaj Tripathi. The film explored urban relationships with a fresh perspective and further showcased Fatima's versatility. Her Netflix film Aap Jaisa Koi, released on Netflix on July 11, the film promises an emotional storyline and another solid performance from Fatima. view comments First Published: July 20, 2025, 12:28 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

I Know What You Did Last Summer: 10 burning questions the ending finally answers
The hook is back, and this time, it's personal and cuts deep. The 2025 reboot of the 1997 horror I Know What You Did Last Summer pulls a new group of friends into the same nightmare. Writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and co-writer Sam Lansky bring in Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Danica (Madelyn Cline), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy (Tyriq Withers), and Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon), a fresh batch of twenty-somethings who make a fatal mistake and bolt. What starts as a direct reboot turns into darker, messier, and way more twisted, packed with returning faces and brutal betrayals. Let's break down that wild ending with 10 burning questions. Spoilers Ahead Ava, Danica, Milo, Teddy, and Stevie are a group of friends living in Southport, N.C. One Fourth of July night, they cause a accident while over-speeding when a truck swerves to avoid them, crashes through a guardrail, and falls off the cliff with the driver inside. They try to help, decide to call cops, but panic and run. Teddy's dad, Grant (a powerful real estate guy), uses his influence to bury it. The story begins a year later when all those friends are now nearly estranged. However, once they arrive back in Southport, Danica gets a note: 'I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.' Soon after, people around them are murdered by a Fisherman, just like in the original two stories, with a hook and speargun, mimicking the 1997 killing spree. Also read: Wall to wall ending explained: Who's the real noise maker in Kang Ha Neul's Netflix psychological thriller? The friends run to the survivors of the original attacks. Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.) reprise their roles. Meanwhile, Sarah Michelle Gellar's Helen also has a small cameo when she appears in Danica's dream to warn her. Wyatt (Danica's fiancé), true-crime podcaster Tyler, Pastor Judah, along with Teddy, Milo, and Grant, are among those who were killed. This season we've got two hook-wielding pyschos, Stevie and Ray. Stevie's motive is driven by revenge after she finds out the driver they accidentally killed was Sam. This is the same person who helped her post rehab, her pseudo boyfriend. She didn't realise it at first, but rage drives her to become the Fisherman. But the bigger jaw-dropper is the involvement of Ray. Years of repressed trauma, being ghosted by Southport, and watching the town erase the past make him go insane. Stevie's grief starts to feel personal to him, and together they plot the same massacre. Ava and Danica try to escape on a boat, only for Stevie to make the big reveal she had been hiding from her friends. At first, Stevie plans to spare Ava, considering she was the only one at the time of the accident who argued that they should stay and help the victim, but she changes her plan as she attacks Danica, stabs her, and she falls off the boat. But just then, Ray shows up, pretends to save the day, even 'shoots' Stevie, and takes Ava back to the bar. Back at his bar, Ava finds Ray with a new bandage exactly where the Fisherman cut himself earlier. He attacks Ava and just in time, Jennifer Love Hewitt shows up. When Ray stabs Ava, Julie confronts him, demands answers, and even throws back her iconic 'What are you waiting for?' line. And, then Ava harpoons Ray from behind. Also read: I Know What You Did Last Summer movie review: A slasher sequel that can't escape its past No. After getting shot and tossed overboard, her body vanishes. That's horror code for: still out there. Danica is alive somehow washes up on shore. Last we see, she and Ava are on the beach, bruised, hungry, and cracking jokes about hunting Stevie down. Mid-credits, Julie visits Karla Wilson (Brandy), another survivor from the old sequel. Next we see Karla's face is crossed out in a photo with a threatening note. She asks, 'Who do we have to f— up this time?' Then credits roll. No sequel announcement yet but it might happen soon.

India on precipice of amazing, undeniable global soft power: Comedian Vir Das
India is on the precipice of an "amazing, undeniable" global soft power whose "guardians" in equal measure are both those living in the homeland as well as the Indian diaspora, Emmy-Award winning comedian and actor Vir Das has said."I think something that the diaspora does really well is protect culture," Das said here during a special interaction hosted at Asia Society. Das, who won the 2023 International Emmy for Best Comedy for his comedy special 'Landing', said amid applause and laughter from the audience at the event that what he finds "lovely" about the Indian diaspora is that while they have an American accent and American values, but "at your shaadi, you (dance) to 'Mehendi laga ke rakhna'.The Asia Society event on Thursday was presented in collaboration with global media platform, community and agency South Asian Trailblazers and was held on the eve of the premiere of Das's latest comedy special 'Vir Das: Fool Volume'."India is on the precipice of an amazing, undeniable global soft power, and it only translates when the bridge happens from me to you. So we are both ends carrying that soft power," Das said, a message for the Indian diaspora settled across the world. "We are both guardians of India's soft power at an equal level." Citing the example of Indian actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh, who became the first Punjabi singer to perform at the popular Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California in 2023, Das said, "When Diljit performs at Coachella, that is an amazing, undeniable thing." "The diaspora has to show up to pack Coachella. When he shows up in India, we'll pack it for him. But when he comes to Coachella, show up, for modern Indian culture," he who was first nominated for the 2021 International Emmy for Comedy for his previous Netflix special 'Vir Das: For India', had hosted the prestigious global awards last to a question during the interactive Q&A session with the audience on what are some of the things the next generation should adopt from the current one, Das said one would be to know "that India is far more open-minded than you think it is. I say this with all due respect to the diaspora."Sometimes you are raised in a time capsule version of India, that is the last version of India that your parents left behind, and that India doesn't exist anymore," he said to applause from the audience. Das added that "You are raised in more conservative households than we are, many times. So, please come and visit modern India." "Come and visit a place that does everything from Diljit to Mika to 'RRR' to 'Hanumankind'," Das said, referring to the popular Indian artists, the blockbuster movie which won the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 2023 Academy Awards for 'Naatu, Naatu' and the India-born rapper Sooraj underlined that there are things happening in India right now that kids of the Indian diaspora need to know."The second thing is that it is okay to be flawed. I feel like children who are raised in the diaspora, you are under tremendous pressure to have model minority behaviour, more so than kids who are raised back home" because opportunities are far more scarce. "It is a smaller community here, but try and create the abundance mindset that you had when there were a billion jobs for you. I know that there are fewer jobs, that's a very tough mindset to create, but I think your child would be better served by creating that mindset," Das said.
