Colin Farrell, Sharon Horgan and Ruth Negga receive Emmy nominations as ‘Severance' leads the field
Farrell was the first name revealed for the Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category for his performances in The Penguin.
Negga has been nominated for her performances in Presumed Innocent in the Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie category.
Severance separated itself from the field with 27 nominations while The Studio led comedy nominees with a record-tying 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 that brought an expected Emmy bounty.
Lead 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, and Patricia Arquette was nominated for supporting actress for playing an ousted outcast from the sinister family business at the centre of the show. 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.
And The Studio tied a record set by The Bear last year when it also got 23 nominations, the most ever for a comedy.
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, Dave Franco and Zoe Kravitz. The men made for five of the six nominees in the guest actor in a comedy category.

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 Farrell and Cristin Milioti.
Netflix's acclaimed Adolescence got 13 limited series nominations, including a supporting actor nod for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays a 13-year-old suspected of a killing.
HBO's high-end soap The White Lotus got its usual flowering of drama acting nominations for its Thailand-set third season, with four cast members including Carrie Coon getting supporting actress nods, and three including Walton Goggins up for supporting actor. It was second in the drama categories to Severance with 23 nominations overall.
'The Pitt,' HBO Max's prestige medical procedural starring 'ER' veteran Noah Wyle, got 13 nominations, including best drama and best actor for its star, 'ER' veteran Noah Wyle. One of its nurses, Katherine LaNasa, was able to squeeze in among the women of 'The White Lotus' for a supporting actress nod.
The Last of Us brought in 16 nominations in drama categories for HBO. The elite cable channel with its streaming counterpart HBO Max has been so prolific for decades in Emmy nominations that it almost felt like an off year without it having a Succession or a Game of Thrones atop the drama category. But it definitely wasn't. It led all outlets with 142 nominations, the most it's ever gotten.
Netflix followed with 120 nominations overall, and Apple TV+ had 79.
Wyle, who was nominated five times without a win for ER, could join Scott to make best actor in a drama a two-man race, with both seeking their first Emmy.
Actors Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song announced 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.'
'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.
'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.
Kathy Bates' best actress nomination for playing the title role in CBS's 'Matlock' made for a rare exception to streamers' dominance over broadcast networks. The Oscar-winning Bates is considered the front-runner to get the Emmy. 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.
ABC's 'Abbott Elementary' has been keeping hope alive for broadcasters in recent years. It got six nods this year, including best actress in a comedy for creator Quinta Brunson, who also got a writing nomination.
CBS will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on September 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.

The Emmys in focus - what you need to know
The psychological thriller Severance from Apple TV+ and HBO's Colin Farrell-starring crime drama The Penguin have stacked up the most nominations for Emmy Awards, outpacing The Studio and The White Lotus in the contest for television's highest honours. In a big day for Irish acting talent, Sharon Horgan was also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Bad Sisters, and Ethiopian Irish star Ruth Negga was nominated for her performances in Presumed Innocent in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category. Severance received a leading 27 nominations and was nominated for the top prize of Best Drama alongside the Star Wars series Andor, The Pitt, The White Lotus, and others. The Penguin, set in the DC Comics universe and starring Farrell, earned 24 nominations and will compete for Best Limited Series against the Netflix hit Adolescence, among others. Dubliner Farrell, a nominee for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category, is also an executive producer on The Penguin. Hollywood satire The Studio, an Apple TV+ show featuring Seth Rogen as a nervous film executive, and HBO's The White Lotus, about murder and misdeeds at a luxury resort in Thailand, received 23 nominations each. "What the heck?!! We never thought this would happen," Rogen said in a statement. Comedy nominees included defending champion Hacks, previous winner The Bear, Nobody Wants This, and Abbott Elementary. The 23 nominations for The Studio tied the record for a comedy in a single season, set last year by Chicago restaurant tale The Bear. Winners of the Emmys will be announced at a red-carpet ceremony held in Los Angeles on Sunday 14 September. Comedian Nate Bargatze will host. The television industry is undergoing a contraction as media companies curtail the sky-high spending they shelled out to compete in the shift to streaming platforms led by Netflix. Longtime Emmy favourite HBO and the HBO Max streaming service topped all programmers with 142 nominations, a record for the network. Walt Disney collected 137 nominations, including six for ABC's Abbott Elementary, one of the few non-streamer shows in the Emmy mix. Andor, on Disney+, received 14. Netflix garnered 120 nods and Apple scored 81, its highest total since launching its streaming service in 2019. Severance tells the story of office workers who undergo a procedure to make them forget their home life at work, and vice versa. "It's distinctive in every way - in terms of its storytelling, in terms of style, in terms of its directing, its tone," said Matt Cherniss, Head of Programming at Apple TV+. Star Adam Scott, a Best Actor nominee, said the cast had been unsure of how viewers would respond. "The fact that it's resonated at all has been just such an incredible feeling," Scott said. "We thought it was something that might be too weird." Wyle, Ford in the running Noah Wyle received his first Emmy nomination since 1999 for his role as an emergency room doctor on The Pitt. Wyle was nominated five times for ER but never won. "I'm humbled and grateful," Wyle said of the recognition for The Pitt, which received 13 nominations. Harrison Ford, 83, earned his first Emmy nod, for playing a grumpy therapist on Shrinking. Ron Howard, the former Happy Days star turned Oscar-winning director, also landed his first acting nomination, a guest actor nod for playing himself on The Studio. "Who says nice guys finish last?!" Howard wrote on Instagram. He will compete with fellow director Martin Scorsese, another guest star on The Studio. Other notable acting nominees included Cristin Milioti for The Penguin, The Bear actors Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, Kathy Bates for Matlock, Hacks stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, and Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey for The Last of Us. Eight White Lotus actors were recognised. "This is a bunch of cherries on the icing on the cake that was the gift of playing such a tortured and lonely human," said Jason Isaacs, who portrayed a suicidal father facing financial ruin on the show. Beyoncé also made the Emmys list twice - as a producer and director. Her halftime performance during a National Football League game on Netflix in the US was among the Live Variety Special nominees. Missing from the field was Netflix's popular Korean drama, Squid Game, while the final season of previous drama winner The Handmaid's Tale received just one nod. Winners will be chosen by the roughly 26,000 performers, directors, producers, and other members of the Television Academy.
