Severance, The Last of Us and Andor just nabbed dozens of Emmy nominations
However, HBO Max received the most kudos by platform, with 142 nominations in total. This is thanks to the second season of The Last of Us , with 16 nominations, and the Batman-adjacent The Penguin . The White Lotus, The Pitt and Hacks also grabbed multiple nominations. This is the highest number of noms the outlet has ever received. Netflix still holds the record, though, with 160 nominations in 2020.
Andor scored 14 nominations, including one for Best Drama. Star Wars shows aren't typically singled out for the high-profile awards, though the first season of Andor was also up for Best Drama, before losing to Succession . No actors from the series were nominated, which is a bummer given the performances by Diego Luna, Denise Gough, Elizabeth Dulau and Stellan Skarsgård, among others.
There was a day when sci-fi programs only received nominations for stuff involving costumes or sets. That sure has changed, with Andor , The Last of Us , Severance, Paradise and Black Mirror receiving so much love this year. Fallout also made an impressive showing last year .
The 77th Emmy Awards will be hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze and is airing live on CBS on September 14 at 8PM ET. Cord cutters will be able to stream it live and on-demand via Paramount+.

Father bans ‘Peppa Pig' from household after son kept repeating this line
Our kids learn a lot from children's shows, but what happens when they pick up the wrong lessons? For Kelly, it's a parenting challenge she was surprised she had to face. Advertisement She shared her shock in a recent TikTok after her three year old son, Kia, adopted a new phrase. 'We taught him the sentence wasn't nice quite quickly' 4 Kelly (left), her husband (middle), and their children (right). Courtesy Arvan Family When she told Kia to do something he didn't like, he would respond with 'you're not my best friend.' But the real problem started when he began to say it to others. 'Broke my heart every time I heard it,' Kelly told Kidspot. Advertisement Typically Kia is a beautiful child. He is empathetic, loving and has a personality that everyone falls in love with. 'Everytime I heard him say it, I'd ask him 'My son, where did you learn this? We don't say that, it's ok for someone to not be your best friend but you don't say it to hurt someone,'' she explained. 'I was lucky we taught him the sentence wasn't nice quite quickly and he stopped saying it after roughly two weeks, but it took a lot of correcting and teaching him.' 4 When she told Kia to do something he didn't like, he would respond with 'you're not my best friend.' But the real problem started when he began to say it to others. Peppa Pig Advertisement She had no idea where he had gotten the phrase from. But then it clicked. 'Kia was watching it on the tv and just so happened the moment I looked at the screen Peppa said it. I was in awe,' Kelly explained. 'I immediately turned it off and explained to him why and he understood and did say 'yes, Peppa didn't make a good choice.'' She explained to her son that Peppa has a tendency to be 'not nice' and a 'bully' which is why they won't be watching her anymore. A decision that Kia is totally onboard with. Advertisement 'Today for his screen time when I was browsing kids Netflix for him Peppa did pass the TV, Kia did say 'no more naughty Peppa' and he chose another show,' she revealed. In fact she notices the media he consumes, while given in small doses and always monitored, does impact his mood. 'If he's watching something like Miss Rachael or Trash Truck he is in a happy positive mood, when he's watching Peppa pig he can be a little more sassy,' she explained. 4 In fact Kelly notices the media Kia consumes, while given in small doses and always monitored, does impact his mood.

'Small quick sentences from shows like this can be easily missed' 'She calls her dad fat, is very mean to her younger brother – which made me angry that this show is teaching siblings to be mean to each other – especially because Kia has a younger brother Kian whom he is so sweet to and loves,' she said. 'Peppa is not a role model I personally as a parent would be proud for my child to learn from. As parents we always monitor screen time, but small quick sentences from shows like this can be easily missed.'

How ‘Sirens' shocked with 4 Emmy nominations
Fans of Sirens received a few welcome surprises on Emmy nomination morning — four to be exact. While the Netflix original limited series was a big hit for the streamer, it wasn't seen as a major awards contender. That changed this morning, however, when Sirens snagged a quartet of nominations within the Limited, Anthology Series, or Movie categories. More from Gold Derby 'Awards Magnet': Our instant 2025 Emmy reactions 'Grateful' first-time nominee Katherine LaNasa can't wait to see Jessica Williams, Jean Smart, and Julianne Nicholson at the Emmys The most notable among those nods was Meghann Fahy, who made it into Best Limited/Movie Actress for playing Devon DeWitt. Though she had been previously nominated for her work on the second season of The White Lotus, Fahy was far from a sure thing in the category. Prior to nominations, Gold Derby predictions had Fahy ranked 15th in the category, behind actresses like Renée Zellweger from Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and Kaitlyn Dever from Apple Cider Vinegar, who both missed out on nominations. Sirens also made it into the competitive directing category with Nicole Kassell, who was nominated for her work on the first episode, "Exile," alongside directors from The Penguin, Dying for Sex, Adolescence, and Zero Day. Rounding out the Sirens nominations were Best Limited/Movie Contemporary Costumes and Best Limited/Movie Picture Editing. Gold Derby spoke with series creator Molly Smith Metzler shortly after the series debuted in June, and the writer downplayed her hopes for any awards attention, despite strong early buzz. "I try to just appreciate any attention and take the opportunity to sing the praises of this team," she said. "If the show's good, it's because of them."
