**Headline: Emmy Nominations 2025: “Severance,” “The Penguin” Lead Pack as Snubs and Surprises Abound**

**Los Angeles, CA –** The 2025 Emmy nominations were announced on July 15th, unveiling a list of honorees filled with both expected contenders and surprising omissions. “Severance” and “The Penguin” emerged as frontrunners, securing the most nominations this season. HBO’s “The White Lotus” also garnered significant recognition. Newcomers like “The Studio,” “The Pitt,” and “Nobody Wants This” also made their mark, vying for television’s most coveted awards.

In the acting categories, Colman Domingo received a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for “The Four Seasons,” and Uzo Aduba was recognized for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for “The Residence.” Sharon Horgan (“Bad Sisters”) and Robby Hoffman (“Hacks”) also earned nominations in the comedy categories. Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese secured nods for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for “The Studio.”

First-season drama “Paradise” secured an Outstanding Drama Series nomination, while “What We Do in the Shadows” landed an Outstanding Comedy Series nod, and Jeff Hiller was recognized for his supporting role in “Somebody Somewhere.”

However, the nominations were also notable for their snubs. Meryl Streep and Melissa McCarthy were overlooked for their roles in “Only Murders in the Building,” while critically acclaimed series like “House of the Dragon” and “Squid Game” failed to secure nominations. Elisabeth Moss also missed out on a nod for the final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and neither Helen Mirren nor Harrison Ford were recognized for “1923.”

Other surprising omissions included Natasha Lyonne (“Poker Face”), Patrick Schwarzenegger, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, and Leslie Bibb (“The White Lotus”). Allison Janney (“The Diplomat”) and the cast of “Landman” (Billy Bob Thornton, Al Larter, Jon Hamm, and Demi Moore) were also absent from the nominee list. Eddie Redmayne did not receive recognition for “The Day of the Jackal.”

Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs (“Hacks”) were also snubbed, despite nominations for their co-stars. While Bowen Yang was nominated for “Saturday Night Live,” Kenan Thompson and Heidi Gardner were not. “SNL” also failed to secure any guest star nominations, a departure from previous years. Additional omissions included Jack Lowden (“Slow Horses”), Dichen Lachman (“Severance”), Diego Luna (“Andor”), “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney,” and Renée Zellweger (“Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy”). “Agatha All Along” and “Bridgerton” failed to secure any acting nominations, and reality competition stalwart “The Voice” was absent from its category.

Last year Shōgun won an impressive 25 nominations and took the prize for outstanding drama series, in addition to its stars Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai winning for the lead drama series categories. The Bear dominated the comedy acting categories with Jeremy Allen White, Liza Colón-Zayas, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Bernthal taking home honors during the 2024 ceremony. Smart also earned her third trophy for her role on Hacks, which also took landed the outstanding comedy series prize.
