The Latest: 'Severance' and 'The Studio' Lead Emmy Nominations
The Latest: Kendrick Lamar and SNL earn Emmy nominations Both Kendrick Lamars Super Bowl halftime show and the 50th anniversary Saturday Night Live concert earned nominations in the variety special (live) category. They're joined by Netflix's Beyoncé Bowl and rounded out by less musical events: the Oscars and SNL50: The Anniversary Special.
Some music documentaries miss Emmy nominations. Questloves Sly Lives! gets nod It could've been a big year for Bruce Springsteen The Beatles and the singular composer John Williams in the documentary or nonfiction categories but they just missed the mark. Though those giants of genre didn't grab nods this year Questloves Sly Lives! (Aka The Burden Of Black Genius) documentary did.
Severance leads the field with 27 Emmy nominations. The Studio tops comedy with 23 Severance leads the field with 27 Emmy nominations while The Studio tops comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. Need to catch up? Seasons 1 and 2 of Severance stream on Apple TV+ and would take a total of 15 hours and 29 minutes. The Studio on Apple TV+ has 10 episodes and would take 5 hours and 15 minutes to watch them all.
Ashley Walters is a rapper actor and Emmy nominee Supporting actor in a limited series nominee Ashley Walters first made his name in the UK as a rapper in the vast So Solid Crew under the name Asher D – and featured on their iconic hit 21 Seconds in 2001. But the Adolescence star had been acting since way before that and he's had two long-running roles on either side of the law – as drug dealer Dushane in Top Boy and a police officer in British procedural Bulletproof.
Where's The White Lotus ensemble? Don't go looking for the ensemble of The White Lotus in the lead acting categories at the Emmys – they're hanging out in the supporting categories. Carrie Coon Parker Posey Natasha Rothwell and Aimee Lou Wood all get a nod as do Walton Goggins Jason Isaacs and Sam monologue Rockwell. Even Scott Glenn is in the running in the guest category for playing Jim Hollinger. But what happened to BLACKPINKs Lisa Tayme Thapthimthong or the Ratliff kids – Patrick Schwarzenegger Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola? No love either for Coons on-screen frenemies Michelle Monaghan and Leslie Bibb Rockwells real-life partner.
Bridget Jones is a TV movie? In the US yes. While Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy was distributed theatrically abroad the latest installment of the Renée Zellweger-starring franchise was directly released on Peacock stateside making it eligible for the Emmys.
How this years nominees stack up against record holders Severance leads all nominees with 27 but Game of Thrones still holds the record for most nominations for one show in a season – 32 in 2019. The show did break a record for Apple TV+ – previously Ted Lasso was the streamers most nominated show for one season with 21 nominations in 2023. The Studio though has tied The Bears 2024 record for comedy series with 23.
Noah Wyle and Adam Scott compete for Emmy No. 1 Noah Wyle and Adam Scott are TV veterans who've never won an Emmy. They're now considered close co-favorites for best actor in a drama after getting nominations – Wyle for The Pitt and Scott for Severance. It's Wyles sixth nomination. He was up for Emmys five times for playing Dr. John Carter in ER but never won. Now he can get one for playing a very similar character later in life. Scott spent five seasons as a regular on Parks and Recreation but didn't get his first nomination until his starring role on Severance.
Does Kathy Bates have a lock on best drama actress? Kathy Bates is considered the runaway front-runner for best actress in a drama. It would be a weird one if she goes on to win for CBS Matlock. She's the first to be nominated in the category from a network show since 2019 when Viola Davis was nominated for ABCs How To Get Away With Murder. She would be the first woman from a network show to win best actress in a drama since 2015 when Davis won and the first actor in any drama category to win since 2017 when Sterling K. Brown won for NBCs This Is Us. It's the 15th time Bates has been nominated. She's won twice before.
Nominees for talk and reality competition series are released early 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 RuPauls Drag Race Survivor Top Chef and The Traitors.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs is denied release on bond to await sentencing
NEW YORK: Sean 'Diddy' Combs can't go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges — racketeering and sex trafficking — while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offense. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. In any event, the guidelines aren't mandatory, and Judge Arun Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a protean figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights.' His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalize consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defense acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend.' The defense's most recent proposal included a $50 million bond and travel restrictions and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimize his recent violent conduct — demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision.'
