As expected, Emmy voters heaped love on the so-called “Big Four” of comedy — “Hacks,” “The Bear,” “Abbott Elementary” and “Only Murders in the Building.” Many of those competing in the drama categories were likely just happy the Emmy-gobbling “Shogun” is between seasons.
Emmy voters are creatures of habit but there were some happy differences this time around, like “Matlock” star Kathy Bates becoming the oldest performer ever nominated in the lead drama actress category at age 77. And “Severance,” which last year only won for dramatic score and title design, looks in better shape for its second season.
