‘The Pitt’ leads Emmy nominations, with ‘Hacks’ not far behind
The Pitt led all nominees with 25 in a dominant second season, while Hacks led all comedies with 24 for its final season as the Emmy nominations were announced on Wednesday.
HBO Max’s emergency room series The Pitt was a rookie upstart last year with big wins including best drama series, best actor for Noah Wyle and best supporting actress for Katherine LaNasa.
Already a beloved veteran show, it owned this year’s acting categories. Wyle was nominated again, as was LaNasa.
Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif and Sepideh Moafi also got nominations, with The Pitt taking four of the seven supporting actress spots.
Three of their castmates were nominated for best supporting actor: Patrick Ball, Shawn Hatosy and Gerran Howell.
Emmy voters love a departing show, and have loved Hacks since its first season. Those two colliding phenomena let it rake in nominations for its fifth and final season.
