All the snubs (Selena Gomez, ‘Squid Game') and surprises (Uzo Aduba, ‘Survivor') at the 2025 Emmy nominations
'Tis the day of the Emmys and all through the house, surprises are stirring and snubs are inspiring grouse. While fans of Hacks, Severance, and The White Lotus had plenty to cheer about, Squid Game, The Handmaid's Tale and The Voice are among the high-profile shows that went overlooked by voters. On the other hand, Uzo Aduba and Colman Domingo pulled off surprise victories that the odds didn't see coming. We rounded up this morning's biggest snubs and surprises from the 2025 Emmy nominations. More from Gold Derby Here's how 'The Studio' scored a record 23 Emmy nominations 'Andor' scored 14 Emmy nominations, but missed 1 major category Looks like Martin Short will be representing the podcasting sleuths solo at this year's Emmys. Both of his Only Murders in the Building costars fell short in ultra-close battles for their respective categories. It would have been Gomez's second consecutive nomination for the series; she also missed out on a Best Supporting Actress mention at the Oscars earlier this year, which makes this latest snub part of an unfortunate trend. Meanwhile, Martin missed out on his third nomination with Shrinking's Jason Segel netting his second nod for the Apple TV+ series. At least both actors have Season 5 of Only Murders waiting in the wings. Aduba overcame the odds — and an early cancellation — to score a leading actress nod for the first and only season of Netflix's White House comedy from Shonda Rhimes. It's her first nomination for a comedy and her sixth acting nomination overall. Aduba has two wins on her record: a 2015 Best Drama Supporting Actress statuette for Orange is the New Black and a 2020 Best Limited/Move Supporting Actor statuette for Mrs. America. Looks like Netflix's all-star comedy wasn't a show for all seasons. Four Seasons cocreator and leading lady Tina Fey failed to drive a stake through the heart of its closest competitor — the final season of FX's cult vampire favorite What We Do in the Shadows — for that eighth comedy series slot. The series also came up empty in the acting categories... with one notable exception. Domingo spent the early months of 2025 on the Oscar circuit for his Best Actor nod in Sing Sing. Now, he'll spend these final summer months making the Emmy rounds for his scene-stealing Four Seasons role. Domingo slipped ahead of Abbott Elementary's Tyler James Williams, who had been leading in our odds for his fourth nomination. The first season of the Netflix sensation made Emmy history with 14 nominations and six wins, including Best Drama Actor and Best Drama Guest Actress — a first for a Korean-language series. But Season 2 was X-ed out of competition across all categories, with no repeat shot at a Best Drama Series Emmy. Maybe the odds will be in Season 3's favor next year. The Force wasn't strong with the star of Tony Gilroy's much-loved Star Wars series. In the show's second and final season, Luna completed Cassian Andor's journey from thief to revolutionary, with rogue status still looming in his future. While the show's second Best Drama Series nomination was expected, fans hoped that its star would be recognized now that his time in the far, far away galaxy is done. The final season of The Handmaid's Tale wasn't blessed with a comeback after all. Moss missed out on a show-capping nomination as Emmy voters instead granted a second nod to Sharon Horgan's Bad Sisters star turn. The Hulu series will factor into one race — Cherry Jones is nominated for Best Drama Guest Actress. Emmy voters apparently felt comfortable messing with Texas. Bibb's Lone Star state housewife was denied entry into the White Lotus supporting actress Emmy suite occupied by Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell and Aimee Lou Wood. At least the actress can be a +1 alongside her partner and costar Sam Rockwell in the supporting actor room. The White Lotus supporting player missed out on the chance to be the first Schwarzenegger to get an Emmy nod for acting. (Patrick's father, Arnold, has a statuette for executive producing the 2014 Best Documentary or Nonfiction Series winner, Years of Living Dangerously.) His onscreen dad, Jason Isaacs, made the cut as did Walton Goggins and the aforementioned Rockwell. While it dominated the other acting categories, the odds weren't in The Studio's favor when it came to its guest actress stars. But Zoe Kravitz managed to score the show's single nomination, easing past Melissa McCarthy's turn as Steven Martin's very Jersey sister in Only Murders in the Building. Despite boasting A-list star power and registering on the Nielsen charts last summer, the streaming version of Scott Turow's blockbuster book fell by the wayside in favor of the return of Netflix's Black Mirror. Maybe the recently-announced Season 2 will receive a different verdict from voters. Fortunately, the series performed better in the acting categories with star Jake Gyllenhaal up for Best Limited/Movie Actor, Bill Camp and Peter Sarsgaard nominated in the supporting actor category and Ruth Negga in the running for supporting actress. We called it. After lingering outside of the Top 5 in our TV movie odds for a stretch, The Gorge made a late-campaign surge and vaulted Apple TV+ into the race alongside streamers like Netflix, HBO Max and Peacock. Looks for Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy on the Emmys red carpet. With the variety talk series category shrinking from four slots to three, one perennial nominee was going to get left out in the cold. And that nominee turned out to be Meyers, who couldn't pull ahead of regular competitors Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jon Stewart. The snub breaks Late Night's three-year nomination streak in this category. Meyers did see nominations in the best short form category as well as one of the long list of writers who made SNL50 a reality. The CBS reality show war horse galloped over The Voice in an unexpected upset, breaking the NBC show's 13-year run as a nominee in this category. Survivor made its comeback after missing out on a nomination last year, suggesting that fans aren't the only ones looking forward to the 50th edition that's on deck for 2026.

How to Spend a Perfect Long Weekend in the Athenian Riviera—Where to Eat, Shop, and Stay
In the 1960s, the stretch of coastline just south of Athens—beginning at the port of Piraeus and sprawling some 40 miles along the western shore of the Attica Peninsula—was the place to see and be seen. Brigitte Bardot, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Frank Sinatra, and other celebrities vacationed there, camping out at the Astir Palace—the grande dame of Riviera elegance and a fixture in films, fashion shoots, and society pages. In the 1970s, however, once travelers could reach the Greek islands directly by air, the area's fortunes began to fade. From left: A guest room at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens; the property's façade. Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens But the tides are changing once again. In 2019, the Astir Palace reopened as the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens , kicking off a renaissance that, in the past two years, has included the arrival of more stylish hotels, restaurants, and beach clubs. Related: How to Plan the Perfect Trip to Athens, Greece, According to Travel Experts Like Rick Steves The suburb of Vouliagmeni, where the Four Seasons sits, saw the opening last year of the Astir Marina, with 50 berths for yachts and mega-yachts. There's also a shopping complex, with boutiques for Greek fashion brands like Zeus & Dione and Karkalis. Oven Manufactory, a bakery and coffee shop in the heart of Glyfada. In the upmarket neighborhood of Glyfada, 10 minutes north of Vouliagmeni, the Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens has been generating buzz since it opened in the fall. The brand's first European outpost is housed in a Modernist building from the 1970s, which has been given an update by the French design firm Ciguë and has a swim club where guests can stretch out by the pool on retro-striped loungers.

Among them is Bungalow 7 , where chef Dinos Fotinakis—who made his name at Mykonos's acclaimed Beefbar—has crafted a menu that elegantly blends classic Italian dishes with Asian flavors, such as carbonara with Wagyu bacon and matcha tiramisu. Also worth a stop are Sofi's Eatery, a café and deli that's become a popular brunch spot in Vouliagmeni, and Oven Manufactory, a sceney bakery and coffee shop in the heart of Glyfada.

There are 95 bungalows spread across the grounds—some tucked among olive trees and bougainvillea, others right on the water—each with wood paneling, floor-to-ceiling windows, and expansive outdoor spaces with showers and fireplaces. Nearby is 91 Athens Riviera , which was opened last June by Greek hospitality brand Domes. Accommodations take the form of futuristic tents, with canvas strung across domed structures, and include all the trappings you'd expect on a luxury safari, like canopy beds and private plunge pools. A version of this story first appeared in the August 2025 issue of Travel + Leisure under the headline "Age of the Aegean ."

Inside the epic super villas where celebrities stay in Bali
When celebrities visit Bali, they don't just stay at luxury resorts. They stay at private residences set within the compounds of luxury resorts — super-villas or mansions that offer the ultimate in privacy, luxury and personalised service.

Credit: DA / AP In 2017, Barack Obama and his family stayed at the Royal Villa, a three-storey, three-bedroom residence at the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan on the outskirts of Bali's spiritual capital Ubud — the same residence where Julia Roberts lived with her two children while shooting Eat, Pray, Love alongside Spanish actor Javier Bardem in 2009. To avoid pandemonium, the Obamas did not check in at the hotel's reception. They were driven to the edge of the 72ha resort where a concealed clocktower staircase descends into the Royal Villa.

Every room has floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open onto a private garden where guests can spend their days lounging on canopied daybeds and swimming in a heated infinity-edged pool.

Credit: Supplied An hour's drive but a million metaphorical miles away from the popular beaches of southern Bali on the lower west coast, Soori Bali in Tabanan Regency is one of the most sophisticated and secretive luxury resorts in Bali. Fronted by an empty volcanic black sand beach with a backdrop of emerald-green rice fields and the soft blue mountains of western Bali, you can walk for an hour from the front gate and see only locals, fishers and farmers, kids flying kites, or perhaps a lone surfer searching for uncrowded waves. Originally the holiday home of Soo K. Chan, one of Singapore's most renowned architects, today the property operates as a five-star only-villa resort with an Olympic-sized infinity-edge pool, 10 Hindu temples and shrines and 48 slick residences. They are mostly one-bedroom units though generously sized with private pools, inner courtyards and outdoor decks with barbecue and bar facilities. Soori Estate. Credit: Supplied But when the Kardashians came here in 2018 to celebrate Kim Kardashian's 38th birthday, they stayed at Soori Estate, a double-storey mega-villa set on 5250m of beachfront. One of the largest and most expensive houses in Bali, it has 10 bedrooms with uninterrupted coastal views and rock-star bathrooms: marble-clad chambers with oversized bathtubs and grand shower rooms.

Instead, they stayed in one of Bulgari's five mansions, each with a front gate hewed from volcanic stone housing a security pavilion. Two luxury vans with drivers are included in the daily rate, along with housekeepers, groundskeepers, pool cleaners and a butler. Bulgari Bali residence.

A grand staircase crowned by a 5m crystal chandelier (or you can take the elevator) descends to the bedrooms on the ground floor. Each features a salon, walk-in dressing rooms, oversized bathrooms with onyx marble bathtubs plus outdoor showers enclosed by terrace doors that open onto sprawling decks. Beyond them lie 4000sqm of manicured tropical gardens with open-air lounge and dining pavilions plus a two-tier 25m infinity-edge pool. Bulgari Bali residence.
