The 2024 Emmy nominations are already upon us! If it feels like we juuuuust had the glitzy award show, well, we kind of did. The 2023 Emmys were held in January after being postponed due to the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes. And now, to make it all ~flow~ again, Hollywood’s big dogs are gathering again to celebrate the biggest and best releases in television and streaming six months later.
Of course, the expected shows are nominated. The Bear and Shōgun cleaned up with 25 and 23 nods respectively. Only Murders In The Building picked up 21 (with one finally going to Selena Gomez), True Detective: Night Country received 19 and The Crown copped 18.
Also, in case you’re wondering, Succession wasn’t eligible this year after cleaning the floor with all other television shows for its final season in 2023.
But to mix things up, there were a handful of surprise hits that made the list. Conversely, there were also a few names that were savagely snubbed.
Let’s get into it, shall we?
Emmys Surprises
Reservation Dogs
In its third and final season, Reservation Dogs is finally receiving the kudos it deserves with four nominations. The series follows a group of Indigenous teenagers from a reservation in Oklahoma who do whatever they have to do to make their way to California — even if they have to rob, steal and survive a turf war to get there.
While it’s been heralded as an A+ show for a few years now, this is the first time Reservation Dogs has picked up more than a single nod. And a nomination in Sound Editing, at that. This time around, it’s on the board for Comedy Series and for D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai for Lead Comedy Actor. Nice one!!!
Nava Mau
Nava Mau, who played Donny Dunn’s (Richard Gadd) love interest Terry in Baby Reindeer has been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category. It’s incredible news for Mau, not only because it’s her breakout role, but because the nod makes her the first trans woman in Emmy history to be recognised in that category.
“For trans actors, we just don’t get a lot of opportunities to develop our craft, grow as artists, and be recognized for all that we are and all that we can be,” she told Deadline, shortly after finding out about her nomination.
“We can see that when trans people are given the opportunity, we will grow into it and so far beyond any expectation.”
Selena Gomez
Only Murders In The Building may be one of the most decorated comedies on television, but 2024 is the first time Gomez has received an Emmy nomination for her work on the show. Both of her co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short have received nods, with many noticing that the third member of the murder-solving trio had yet to be recognised for her work. But this time around, Gomez finally got one — along with Short and Martin, plus guest stars Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Matthew Broderick.
Emmys Snubs
The Curse… And Emma Stone
My jaw was on the floor when I read through the nominations and didn’t see Nathan Fielder‘s absurdist comedy-drama The Curse on the list. The series stars Feilder and Emma Stone as a newlywed couple who are attempting to kick off a sustainable housing empire in a small downtrodden community and create a television show as they go. But along the way, they find themselves wrapped in all sorts of moral and ethical decisions — leaving them (and the audience at home) caught in a bizarre web of anxiety. It’s strange, but god, it’s good.
Emma Stone’s performance in the series is a stand-out, so not seeing her on the Best Actress list is a huge shame.
With its genre-bending themes, the snub could be a result of the series being submitted in the drama category, when it really is a comedically forward limited series. Food for thought!!!
The Sympathizer
The lack of recognition for The Sympathizer is one of the biggest snubs at the Emmys this year. The series is based on Thanh Nguyen‘s novel of the same name and follows a spy from South Vietnam who flees to the United States during the end of the Vietnam War. The series stars Hoa Xuande, and has received rave reviews. However, it’s worth noting that the only nomination has gone to the only prominent white man Robert Downey Jr.
Admittedly, Downey Jr. plays a host of characters — a CIA spy named Claude, academic Robert Hammer, congressman Ned Godwin and filmmaker Niko Damianos. So, I guess that’s a pretty impressive feat.
Tony Shalhoub
Let me preface this by saying that the Emmys fucking love Tony Shalhoub. This is the lovable man who played detective Monk who — at one stage in Hollywood history — was basically unbeaten in the award sphere. He even copped more awards for his role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. But this time around, he got nada. And that’s with his Mr. Monk’s Last Case nominated in the Outstanding Movie Category. Surprising!!!
Abby Elliot
I know people have some strong opinions on The Bear Season Three but I’m fairly certain that anyone watching the show would be aware of how brilliant Abby Elliot was. Elliot plays Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto in the series and this season, she became a new mum. There’s one episode in particular alongside Jamie Lee Curtis that Elliot delivered the most heart-shatteringly beautiful and relatable performance that I was certain it would see her cop a nomination for that episode alone.
Her name being left out of the outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series category is a goddamn crime.
