Emmy nominations 2025 dominated by Severance and The Studio with Michelle Williams and Kristen Bell getting nods
The list was shared by Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song in Los Angeles.
CBS will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.
Severance separated itself from the field with 27 Emmy nominations while The Studio led comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+.
No other dramas came close to the dystopian workplace series Severance, which achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season.
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 TV+'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.

The nominees for reality competition series are: The Amazing Race, RuPaul´s Drag Race, Survivor, Top Chef and The Traitors.
Last year, the British Netflix production 'Baby Reindeer' was surprisingly dominant in the limited series categories.
This year, it will surprise no one if the Netflix British crime drama 'Adolescence' does the same in the same categories.
It was probably the most acclaimed show of the year. Fifteen-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays the 13-year-old accused of a killing at the center of the story, is likely to get one of several acting nominations.
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.

Denise Richards ex Aaron Phypers claims he caught RHOBH star ‘cheating' on him as she accuses him of domestic violence
DENISE Richards estranged husband Aaron Phypers has made explosive claims that he caught his wife "cheating" on him. It comes just days after Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise, 54, accused Aaron of domestic violence, alleging he "threatened to kill her and caused her at least three concussions." 5 5 5 Denis also claimed that Phypers, who filed for divorce on July 7, would hack her laptop and phone and download all of her text messages. Now Aaron has revealed what triggered their explosive July 4 fight and subsequent divorce. He claimed he found out about Denise's alleged hookup with another man earlier this year, when he found text messages between them on Denise's laptop. Aaron told TMZ in an interview that the messages included selfies and plans for "rendezvous at a hotel". He told the publication that he confronted Denise about the alleged affair and they decided to work it out and stay together. But when the pair got into a huge fight over the 4th July weekend, it prompted Aaron to file for divorce. He also claimed that his phone went missing for more than 24 hours and later found it smashed to pieces in a bin. Aaron alleged that he questioned Denise about the phone but she "hit and scratched him", adding that he believes the phone had proof of her alleged affair. The Sun has reached out to Denise's rep for comment. Denise alleged that she suffered physical and verbal abuse throughout her seven-year marriage with Aaron, including strikes to her head and face and degrading profanities, according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun. "Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom rack, threaten to kill me," Richards said in court documents. "Aaron regularly threatened to 'break my jaw' and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help - none of which ever happened," the actress added. "Aaron has caused me at least three concussions. Aaron has told me that he has left recording devices to record me while I was alone in hotel rooms and at my townhouses." Most recently, Denise alleged that on July 4, over the course of two hours, Aaron repeatedly "got within two inches of my face and screamed at me degrading profanities, including calling me a c**t, whore, and a piece of s**t." Denise added: "Aaron's actions were scaring me to the point that, as with nearly all of Aaron's abuse of me, I was afraid that Aaron may kill me." The Wild Things actress claimed she never called law enforcement on her husband because Aaron "threatened to kill himself" if she reported him, she said in court documents. VICIOUS ATTACK During an incident on January 17, 2022, Richards alleged that Phypers viciously used the heel of his palm to strike her in her left eye, causing massive swelling and bruising. Richards claimed that moments before the incident, Phypers became "paranoid" claiming that several potted plants he had just purchased for his workspace contained listening devices. The actress said Phypers began screaming and that's when a police officer, who would regularly station in the parking lot of the Malibu property, approached the door. However, after the officer left, Richards alleged that Phypers continued screaming then "used the heel of his palm to strike me in the eye while calling me a 'f**king b***h.'" Richards claimed a family member witnessed the attack, which caused significant bruising to form around her left eye. "The bruising took a month to heal. I had to cancel two professional meetings and rely on a makeup artist - who was aware of the situation - to cover the injury for an unavoidable work obligation," she added. She claimed her husband insisted she tell others that she had "walked into a piece of his equipment stored on the building's balcony." A judge granted Richards a temporary restraining order against Phypers that will last until August 8, when the estranged couple are due in court. Phypers was ordered to stay 100 yards from Richards' home, place of work and vehicle. He was also ordered to return her laptops and everything he downloaded from her phone. DIVORCE SHOCK The U.S. Sun previously reported that Richards was caught by surprise when she learned about Phypers divorce filing. Sources close to the former Housewives of Beverly Hills star said she felt "utterly betrayed." "She never in a million years wanted to get another divorce and she never in a million years thought he would do this to her," the insider told The U.S. Sun in early July. "It's a betrayal; he promised he would never do this. She made it crystal clear to him thousands of times that they could work through anything no matter how big the problem but divorce was never an option. "He agreed. Then did this. There's more questions than answers right now." Phypers is requesting spousal support to continue with their lavish lifestyle, which cost over $105,000 a month, according to court papers filed in Los Angeles. "Denise thinks it's egregious he is seeking spousal support from her after she has been financially supporting him all these years," the source added. 'She thought he was different but turns out he's what people warned her about.'

Johnny Carson's friend shares intimate details about the King of Late Night's final days
The best friend of late night TV host Johnny Carson has revealed the icon was uncharacteristically affectionate towards the end of his life and believes he knew his time was up the last time he saw him. Tech mogul, Howard Smith, spent many dinners sitting across from The Tonight Show host, but the last one was different than all the rest. Carson, who died in January 2005 at the age of 79, had invited Smith and his wife out after catching his friend at a pharmacy in Malibu. He picked the pair up and drove them to a dinner, where they'd spend hours laughing. 'John was the funniest I've ever seen him,' Smith told Fox News. 'He went on and on, told stories about different people that he had on the show… We just laughed so hard.' Previous dinners, they would only spend a few hours together before parting ways, but just days before his death, Carson insisted on keeping everyone out late. 'We were the first people [at the restaurant] and the last to leave,' Smith explained. 'Looking back, there must have been something going on in his head that night. 'At the end of the night, he drives us up to our house, gets out of the car. He gave both my wife Jane and me a kiss and a hug. Then he tells us: "I love you." John was not standoffish, but I'd never seen him do anything like that. 'I think he knew he was dying, but didn't want us to worry.' Carson then took off back home and 16 days later, he passed away. 'When I think about that night, I feel he wanted to tell us that he would be okay, and that he loved us. That's the John I knew,' he told the outlet. Smith also recalled watching his friend deteriorate. The two often played tennis together, but eventually, it switched to coffee at John's after the comedian admitted the physical activity became too much. 'On Saturdays and Sundays, you come over to my house. I'll make you a coffee, and we'll just sit around, talk about life,' he recalled Carson saying. The pair had played tennis multiple times a week and it created a lifelong bond, even if Smith didn't know it at the time. 'I'm still grateful for that day when we first decided to play tennis together,' he told Fox News. Now, Smith has written a book called My Friend Johnny: The Last 20 Years of a Beautiful Life with Johnny Carson and Friends. He wrote the book because he wanted people to see Carson as he had seen him behind the scenes. 'I wanted people to know John – the John I knew,' he said. Carson hosted The Tonight Show from 1962 to 1992, which garnered him the nickname King of Late Night. The show won six Emmys. The heavy smoker died of emphysema, a lung condition that causes shortness of breath, in 1999.

Company says investigation under way into footage of couple at Coldplay gig
Astronomer, the company at the center of the Coldplay scandal in which its CEO was caught canoodling with its chief human resources officer, has finally issued a statement on the matter. More than 24 hours after a Jumbotron camera at a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, caught the software company's married CEO, Andy Byron, with his arms around the company's HR head, Kristin Cabot, Astronomer has responded to the incident which has taken the internet by storm. On X, the software startup company said: 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.' It also denied rumors that another one of its employees, Alyssa Stoddard, was there, as well as denied false reports of Byron issuing an apology. 'Alyssa Stoddard was not at the event and no other employees were in the video. Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect,' the company said. Both Byron and Cabot were immediately placed on leave, a source familiar with the situation told Axios. Additionally, Astronomer's delayed response has partially been because of Byron's slow resignation and exit package negotiations, another source told the outlet. Byron has been the head of Astronomer since 2023. In 2024, Cabot joined the company as its head of HR. In an announcement about Cabot's hiring, Byron said: 'Kristin's exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory.' Meanwhile, in the same press release, Cabot said: 'I was energised in my conversations with Andy and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here.' This article was amended on 19 July 2025. An earlier version said the Coldplay concert was in Boston, Massachusetts. In fact, it was at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, about 22 miles south-west of Boston.
