Emmys: HBO and Max Score Most Nominations, Apple Takes a Big Bite

Yahoo18-07-2025
HBO and Max jumped back into the front of the Emmy field with Tuesday's nominations for the 77th annual awards. The sibling platforms earned a combined 142 nominations, the most ever for HBO and its sibling streamer.
The combined total beats HBO's previous high of 137 in 2019, a year before HBO Max launched. The big haul, along with nods for Warner Bros. TV Adult Swim, Discovery and Food Network, also puts Warner Bros. Discovery at the front of the media conglomerate pack with 170 total nominations. That's well ahead of Disney's 137 and Netflix's 120. Apple also had a strong year with 81 total nominations, beating the 72 it received a year ago.

The 142 nominations for HBO and Max in 2025 are a huge gain over the 91 they garnered in 2024. A lot of the surge can be attributed to the return of two big contenders, The White Lotus (23 nominations) and The Last of Us (16), to HBO's schedule after taking the 2023-24 season off. Limited series The Penguin scored 24 nominations, the second most of any program.
Add in strong showings by Max originals Hacks (14 nominations) and first-year breakout The Pitt (13), and five shows account for 90 of HBO and Max's 142 nominations — about 63 percent of the total. The remaining 52 nominations are spread among 18 other titles.
Only three Netflix shows got double-digit nomations: Adolescence (13), Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (11) and Black Mirror (10). More than 20 shows on the platform received multiple nods, however, a testament to the sheer volume of programming Netflix puts out.
The bulk of Apple TV+'s 81 nominations come from just two shows. Severance leads the pack with 27 nominations (vs. 14 for its first season in 2022), and The Studio landed 23, breaking Ted Lasso's record of 20 nominations for a first-year comedy series. Shrinking (seven nominations) and Slow Horses (five) also performed well and give Apple two contenders each in the best comedy and best drama series categories.
After a record-setting year in 2024, led by Shōgun's 25 nominations, FX fell off considerably with 35 nominations. Season three of The Bear leads FX's haul with 13 (down from 23 a year ago). ABC's 34 nominations are about even with FX to lead Disney's total.
Below are the leading nominees by platform for the 2025 Emmys, and the number of programs that received nods.
1. HBO/Max: 142 nominations (23 programs)2. Netflix: 120 nominations (44 programs)3. Apple TV+: 81 nominations (14 programs, 2 commercials)4. ABC: 38 nominations (16 programs)5. FX: 35 nominations (8 programs)
And a count of nominations by media conglomerate:

Clip of Sydney Sweeney's expert shooting range run goes viral after Republican registration revealed, American Eagle ad fiasco

A video of 'Americana' star Sydney Sweeney perfecting her shooting skills at a gun range resurfaced online and quickly went viral after she was revealed to be a registered Republican amid outrage over her American Eagle ad. Sweeney, 27, has been in the crosshairs of online social justice warriors who said her ill-fated July advertisement had eugenics undertones, emphasizing her 'good jeans' — all while largely focusing on her bust. Soon after, it was revealed that the Emmy-nominated actress has been registered with the Republican Party of Florida in Monroe County since June 2024, according to public voter records viewed by The Post. Advertisement Now, a 2019 clip of the actress masterfully blasting a gun at a shooting range for an unspecified movie role is making its rounds online. 5 A 2019 video of Sydney Sweeney practicing for an unspecified Hollywood role at a gun range went viral. Instagram / sydney_sweeney In the video, Sweeney expertly takes out multiple dummy targets in just a few seconds, not so much as flinching while the force of each shot rippled up her arms. Advertisement 5 Sweeney's advertisement with American Eagle has been slammed by lefty keyboard warriors. American Eagle The bombshell, who shot to fame after starring in HBO's 'Euphoria,' hasn't publicly responded to the advertisement's controversy, but made her first appearance at a screening of her upcoming film 'Americana' on Monday. At the viewing, Sweeney was heckled by a disgruntled fan who shouted that she should 'Stop the ad, that is being racist!' TMZ reported. 5 Sweeney made her first public appearance since the ad was released at a viewing for her upcoming movie 'Americana.' WireImage Advertisement Sweeney didn't respond and disappeared into her vehicle. American Eagle defended its advertisement, but removed the video from its social media accounts. ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her Jeans. Her Story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,' the statement said. Sweeney has received a flood of support from online influencers and politicians alike, including the president himself. Advertisement 5 The actress has received an outpouring of support from other corners of the internet. Instagram / sydney_sweeney 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic,' President Trump lauded immediately after being told about Sweeney's political affiliation. Trump later elaborated on TruthSocial while adding a jab at multi-Grammy award winner Taylor Swift, who he has ceaselessly attacked since she endorsed Kamala Harris for the 2024 Presidential Election. 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!' Trump wrote. 5 Sweeney has not addressed the controversies surrounding the advertisements or her political affiliation. Getty Images 'Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT. The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Swift made an appearance at the 2025 Super Bowl to cheer on her longtime boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce before the team was trounced by the Philadelphia Eagles. She was reportedly booed by Eagles fans when shown on the jumbotron. The Post reached out to Taran Tactical Innovations, the gun store that provided the firearms used in Sweeney's gun range practice, for comment, but didn't immediately hear back.

‘Wednesday' Season 1 Recap: Everything To Remember For Season 2

Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) got up to plenty of mischief and adventure in Season 1 of the eponymous Netflix series, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The coming-of-age series centering the young heroine as she carves out her own path amongst her Outcast peers at Nevermore Academy had plenty of mystery and investigation, none of which daunted her. Some might even say it was the social scene at school that haunted her more than a mysterious monster lurking in the woods, students keeping secrets from her and those very obviously and vocally out to get her. More from Deadline 'Wednesday' Season 2: Everything We Know About The Cast, Premiere Date & More 'Wednesday' Renewed For Season 3 By Netflix Matty Brown Talks 'The Sand Castle' As Migrant Drama Becomes Most Watched Arabic Language Title On Netflix In First Half Of 2025 For those needing a refresher about what happened in Wednesday Season 1 ahead of the arrival of Season 2 Part 1, below lies a recap of the most salient plot points. Wednesday Enrolled At Nevermore Academy At the start of the series, viewers watch Wednesday pour two bags of piranha in the Nancy Reagan High School swimming pool to send a message to one of the swimmers, Dalton, who bullied her younger brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) by shutting him in a locker, tied up, with an apple in his mouth. This action gets her expelled from the 'Normie' high school. She's been to 8 schools in 5 years. Wednesday comes from a family of Outcasts, or people with special abilities that set them apart from regular humans. Wednesday's psychic ability had just begun to show at the beginning of Season 1. She inherits the visions from her mother, Morticia Addams (née Frump), played by Catherine Zeta-Jones. Morticia, Pugsley and her father Gomez (Luis Guzmán) accompanied Wednesday to Nevermore Academy, a school teeming with Outcasts in Jericho, Vermont. Morticia and Gomez met at Nevermore — founded in 1791, and Morticia roomed with Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie). A condition of Wednesday starting mid-term at Nevermore was that she attend therapy sessions with Jericho's own Dr. Valerie Kinbott (Rikki Lindhome), but Wednesday is reluctant to participate. Her Roommate Enid Is Quite The Opposite In Personality and Décor Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) is Wednesday's roommate at Nevermore, and Enid loves color. Wednesday is allergic to color, so she strips her half of the room, only decorating in black and white. Even her school uniform is black and white. Enid's bubbly personality clashes with Wednesday's keep-to-herself exterior, but slowly the two form a distinct bond that culminates in a heartfelt hug, which Wednesday resists until the Season 1 finale. Enid descends from werewolves, but she had not yet 'Wolfed Out,' meaning undergone the full transformation. The furthest she could get is sharpening her rainbow-manicured nails into sharp acrylic-like claws. Luckily Enid's ability came at just the right time later on in the show, and after she stood up to her mother, who was putting pressure on her to go to lycanthropy conversion camps. Enid introduced Wednesday to the social scene at Nevermore — the four main cliques being Furs, Fangs, Stoners and Scales. Furs are werewolves, Fangs are vampires, Stoners are gorgons and Scales are sirens, leader of whom is Bianca Barclay (Joy Sunday). She used to date Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes-White), 'resident tortured artist' as Enid describes him. Xavier is an Unknown, but his ability is soon revealed as visions too, which appear in his dreams. He usually transcribes what he sees to paper, and he can make his drawings and paintings come to life. Wednesday's Visions Portend Something Bad Happening At Nevermore Just as she started classes, Wednesday began to have visions. These occur when she comes in contact with a person or object. Her mother left her with an Aztec necklace made of obsidian that priests used to conjur visions. Her first premonition took place while she escaped a therapy session in Jericho and she bumped into an apple farmer, foreseeing his death by a mysterious creature responsible for several other murders in the woods surrounding Jericho and Nevermore. After Rowan (Calum Ross) tried to push a gargoyle statue onto her to kill her, she bumped into him at the Harvest Festival and foresaw his death right before it happened. RELATED: Also in that vision, she saw a mysterious book, fire being set to the Nevermore Quad (Pentagon) and more. The Nightshades Rowan, a telekinetic, claimed his mother foresaw Wednesday in a vision with Joseph Crackstone, founder of Jericho, 25 years ago. He vowed to prevent that from coming true by killing her at his mother's behest because she would destroy the school, but this backfired as the mysterious monster came out of the shadows and killed Rowan. Wednesday tracked down the book from which Rowan ripped his mother's illustration of her and Crackstone backed by a fire. A faded symbol in the upper right-hand corner led her to secret society The Nightshades — members including Bianca, Ajax (Georgie Farmer), Xavier, Divina (Johnna Dias-Watson), Yoko (Naomi J. Ogawa) and Kent (Oliver Watson). Technically, the society lost its charter years ago, but Principal Weems looked the other way as long as they didn't cause trouble. Wednesday's mother was in The Nightshades as well. The Love Triangle Xavier saved Wednesday from the above-mentioned gargoyle incident early on in the series and re-introduced himself after the two had met when they were young at a funeral of one of Wednesday's grandmother's friends. He had hid in the casket and almost got cremated. Wednesday heard him screaming and saved his life. RELATED: Xavier was one of Wednesday's love interests last season, but he competed with Tyler (Hunter Doohan) a Normie Wednesday met at Jericho's Weathervane coffeeshop in town after she escaped from her first therapy session. The Hyde Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen), who appeared in Episode 7 of Season 1, helped Wednesday identify the monster killing people in the woods and taking their body parts by pointing her towards Nathaniel Faulkner's diary, which was in The Nightshades' secret library. As she delved further into the research about Hydes, Wednesday realized that she must track down two people responsible for the killings — the Hyde itself, which she knows is a human because she saw its monstrous footprints transition back into human ones in the mud after an encounter — and its master, the person who has unlocked the Hyde's nature within the human. Because the Hyde haunted Xavier's dreams and he constantly paints it — as discovered by Wednesday in his hidden art studio — she suspected Xavier is the Hyde. And when she saw him call for an emergency session with Dr. Kinbott, she believed Kinbott was responsible for unlocking the Hyde. Turns out, Tyler was the Hyde. His mother was also a Hyde, and she attended Nevermore. Hunter's father Sheriff Donovan Galpin (Jamie McShane) failed to ever mention this detail, but the trauma of her post-partem depression triggering the condition passed onto Tyler, and his master used that information to unlock the creature in him as well. More on the master below. Garrett Gates – Gomez's Shady Past Sheriff Galpin also immediately pinpointed Wednesday because her father had a file with the Jericho Police Department from his days as a student at Nevermore. When Gomez was arrested for murder at Nevermore's Parents' Weekend, Wednesday gets on the case and digs up the dead body of the boy her dad supposedly killed, Garrett Gates. This all happened at the Goth & Glamor Rave'N her parents attended when Garrett approached Morticia, who was the one responsible for stabbing Garrett with a sword. The blue tinge of Garrett's corpse's finger signals that he was poisoned, though, and this led to the discovery that Garrett's father had sent him to the Rave'N to poison the outcasts, only the poison vial cracked and leeched into his skin instead. RELATED: Garett was brother to Laurel Gates, who had supposedly died by drowning overseas when she was sent away from Jericho as an orphan, but later on in the show, Wednesday, Enid and Tyler discover that someone is living in the old Gates mansion in Laurel's bedroom. Principal Weems Died Principal Weems, who had grown fed up with Wednesday's relentless pursuit of the truth, granting Wednesday one last favor to visit Eugene Ottinger Ottinger (Moosa Mostafa) in the hospital after the Hyde had attacked him. There, Eugene tipped Wednesday off as to who the Hyde's master was. Wednesday figured out that Weems was a shapeshifter with Morticia's memory of Weems' 'dead ringer' impression of Judy Garland. This confirmed that it was Weems disguised as Rowan leaving school following his death. Thus, Wednesday had Weems pretend to be Tyler in a confrontation with none other than Nevermore's first Normie teacher Ms. Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), who was actually Laurel Gates. They drew the confession out of her that she was the Hyde's master, but unfortunately when Weems changed back, Laurel killed her by injecting her with poison. This death made way for Steve Buscemi's Principal Barry Dort. Joseph Crackstone, Laurel Gates & Goody Addams Once Xavier told Wednesday that it was Joseph Crackstone in the illustration, she made Enid switch volunteer assignments on Outreach Day so that she could investigate Pilgrim World, the theme park dedicated to the Founder of Jericho, who imprisoned and alter burned outcasts in a mass genocide, which Wednesday's ancestor Goody Addams (also portrayed by Jenna Ortega) survived. Goody, one of the original outcasts, came over from Mexico, and her line leads to Gomez. At Pilgrim World, Wednesday didn't glean too much about Crackstone other than that he took Goody's Book of Shadows, but the real book had been replaced with a fake Etsy version. Goody later visited Wednesday in visions, and it was she who guided her descendant to the Gates mansion. Goody began to be Wednesday's spirit guide, teaching her the ways of her visions, but she sacrificed her afterlife self to save Wednesday from dying, disappearing from the realm Wednesday looked into in her visions. RELATED: This near-death experience took place when Laurel Gates dragged Wednesday to Crackstone's Crypt, clarifying the purpose of the missing body parts of the Hyde victims. Laurel planned to resurrect Crackstone, using Wednesday's DNA, an incantation and a crazy machine to channel his spirit into a sewn-together body. Crackstone came back to life in the Frankenstein-esque body, but Goody, before she vanished, told Wednesday to stab him in his black heart to kill him, which Wednesday eventually did with the help of Bianca, Xavier and even Enid, who wolfed out just in time to battle Tyler's Hyde in the woods. Someone Almost Killed Thing Before the identities of the Hyde and its master were revealed, someone stabbed Thing, the detached hand that is the Addams family's companion, in the back and left him hanging in Wednesday's room. Wednesday whisked the dexterous appendage and his digits to her Uncle Fester, who wass sleeping in Eugene's bee shed, to revive him with his electric shock ability. This scene held the most emotion viewers saw from Wednesday, who cried and willed Thing back to life Earlier on in the show, Wednesday had shared with Enid that she hadn't cried since she was 6 years old when some bullies ran over and killed her pet scorpion Nero. Wednesday Gets an iPhone, and a Stalker The show left off with Xavier, who was first framed for being the Hyde and then released, gifting Wednesday a phone. The vibe between the pair was uncertain as she had kissed Tyler, which then gave her a vision that he was the Hyde. White will not be returning to Season 2 of Wednesday. As Lurch (George Burcea) drove her away from her first semester at Nevermore in the snow, Wednesday received several texts from a mysterious stalker.
