TV’s top honors: Primetime Emmy Awards are handed out again BY JAY BOBBIN As a new broadcast television season approaches, it’s a tradition for the business to honor standouts from the previous season. The Primetime Emmy Awards show has long served that purpose, and the 77th e dition of the event will be presented Sunday, Sept. 14, from Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater by CBS and Paramount+. Comedian Nate Bargatze (“Your Friend, Nate Bargatze,” 2024) serves as host, and while the n ominations once again are dominated by cable and streaming programming, some shows from so-called “legacy networks” (which typically appear on streaming outlets as well) also have bids for the accolades given by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In fact, the winners in some categories have already been announced, since the Creative Arts Emmy Awards are bestowed a weekend earlier. Some were handed out even earlier than that this year, with winners in juried categories announced in mid-August, bypassing the nomination process. Among those recipients was music superstar Beyoncé, recognized for her work on her Netflix special “Beyoncé Bowl.” Overall, Apple TV+’s “Severance” leads the field of nominees with 27 bids — followed by HBO Max’s “The Penguin”
with 24 and Apple TV+’s “The Studio” and HBO’s “The White Lotus” with 23 each. Also making significant showings are Disney+’s “Andor” and HBO Max’s “Hacks” with 14 nominations each, and Netflix’s “Adolescence,” FX on Hulu’s “The Bear” and HBO Max’s “The Pitt” with 13 apiece.
