The comparatively limited offerings between last June and this May were largely (though not entirely) the result of [production delays](https://time.com/6296449/sag-aftra-strike-tv-shows-movies/) during the dual actors’ and writers' strikes last summer and fall, which lasted for more than 100 days. Shows like _Abbott Elementary_, [_Euphoria_](https://time.com/6998032/euphoria-season-3-delays/), _Hacks_, _The White Lotus_, and many more had their new season premieres pushed back. The television industry is finding its footing again following the strikes, which resulted in new contracts for the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA. But as streamers continue to contract, with some [folding into one another](https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/showtime-linear-network-rebrand-paramount-plus-with-showtime-1235833222/#:~:text=As%20of%20Jan.,add%20select%20Paramount%2B%20original%20series.) and others [considering mergers](https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradadgate/2024/03/01/streamers-paramount-and-peacock-in-talks-about-partnering/), and as media conglomerates like Disney [slash budgets](https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/disney-dramatically-cut-spending-traditional-tv-networks-2024-05-15/) and Netflix [cuts shows](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-01-07/netflix-cuts-over-100-shows-from-programming-slate) left and right, it’s clear that any sense of stability is still a ways off. Amid these ups and downs, the industry still knows how to pause for glitz and trophies: Actors Tony Hale and [Sheryl Lee Ralph](https://time.com/6264261/abbott-elementary-charter-school-teachers/) delivered the nominations from the Disney’s El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood earlier this morning. Many shows walked away with multiple nominations, including critical darlings like FX’s _Reservation Dogs_, _Shogun_, and _The Bear_, which broke the record for the most Emmy nominations for a comedy, with 23 nods. And the category confusion that has come to be a regular part of these affairs continued, as some questioned why _The Bear_ was nominated as a comedy or the Maya Erskine and Donald Glover-led _Mr. & Mrs. Smith_ was nominated as a drama. This year’s Emmy race still looks to be exciting. Here’s a round-up of the most glaring snubs, satisfying surprises, and historic nominations for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards, which are scheduled to take place on Sept. 15. ## **Surprise and Snub:** _Reservation Dogs_  From left: Devery Jacobs, Paulina Alexis, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, and Lane Factor in Reservation Dogs. Courtesy of FX The third and final season of Sterlin Harjo and Taika Watiti’s beloved and excellent show _Reservation Dogs_ finally nabbed a long overdue nomination for comedy series. This is the show’s first nomination in the category, despite being consistently critically acclaimed during its run. The series, which centers on a lively group of Native American teenagers living on a reservation in rural Oklahoma, also nabbed an acting nomination for D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, who plays the crew’s unofficial ringleader, Bear. While Woon-A-Tai’s nomination will come as no surprise to fans of the show, the absence of a nomination for his counterpart, Devery Jacobs, whose character Elora could reasonably be called the heart of the show, is bittersweet. ## **Snub:** Nicole Kidman  Nicole Kidman, who plays the role of Margaret in the TV series 'Expats' set in Hong Kong. Courtesy of Prime Video Nicole Kidman nabbed two Emmys for her work on _Big Little Lies_ in 2017, and has since become the queen of prestige television, bringing her acting chops and high profile in Hollywood to dramas like _The Undoing_ and _Nine Perfect Strangers_. That’s why it comes as a surprise that she was not nominated for her role as Margaret in the Amazon drama _Expats_. The show, created by _The Farewell_ director Lulu Wang, was critically acclaimed, cosmopolitan, and captivating—the epitome of prestige television. ## **Snub:** _The Curse_  Nathan Fielder as Asher and Emma Stone as Whitney in The Curse, Season 1. Courtesy of A24/Paramount+/Showtime Nathan Fielder is known for his surreal and provocative comedies. His 2022 show _The Rehearsal_ was a critical success, praised for its uncomfortable exploration of what it really takes to truly get to know another person. Fielder’s recent project, the Showtime series _The Curse_, a satirical dark comedy about a couple trying to bring their idea of environmentally friendly homes to a low-income neighborhood, was also well-received—but completely shut out of the Emmy nominations this year, and neither Fielder nor his co-star on the series, Emma Stone, received nominations in the major categories. ## Surprise: Selena Gomez  Selena Gomez in Only Murders in the Building Craig Blankenhorn—Hulu Selena Gomez received her first-ever acting nod, Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, for her role as Mabel in _Only Murders in the Building_. This makes her the fourth Latina actress to receive this honor. The recognition follows Gomez's win, at the Cannes Film Festival this spring, of the Best Actress Award, alongside her _Emilia Perez_ co-stars Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Adriana Paz. She also set a record today in another category (more on that below). ## **Snub: John Mulaney**  John Mulaney in John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A. Courtesy of Netflix After releasing the standup special _Baby J_ in 2023, in which he addressed the impact of abusing drugs on his life and career, John Mulaney’s most recent project saw the comedian create a dream talk show, _John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A_, which aired on Netflix for six nights in April. The show was shut out of the Outstanding Talk Series at this year’s Emmy Awards, which was a surprise given the positive critical reception. As TIME’s TV critic Judy Berman wrote in her review, “He has everything it takes to be the best late-night personality of his generation, at a time when the format seems [more desperate than ever](https://time.com/6588305/jon-stewart-daily-show-return-2024/) for a savior." ## **Snub:** _Survivor_ For the more than two decades it’s been on the air, [_Survivor_](https://time.com/6802032/best-survivor-players-new-era/)has been one of the mainstays of reality television—making it a perennial nominee for the category. This year, however, the show was cast away from the Emmys without a nomination. Many were relieved, however, to see [_The Traitors_](https://time.com/6564065/the-traitors-season-2-casting-deena-katz-interview/) recognized in this category after a [strong second season](https://time.com/6553586/the-traitors-season-2-review/). ## **Snub: Meg Stalter**  Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs in Hacks Season 3 Courtesy of Max Throughout the three seasons of the wildly popular Max series _Hacks_, comedian Meg Stalter has proven that she’s more than just a social media star—she’s a dang good actress and wickedly funny, too. Stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder were recognized this year, alongside a first nod for Stalter's on-screen partner Paul W. Downs and Christopher Lloyd's first nom in ages for his guest spot. But yet again, Stalter was left out of the Supporting Actress category, where she should have secured a nod for her undeniable talent. ## **Snub: The Limited Series Category** The Limited Series category at the Emmy Awards is always a tight race and this year is no different with shows like _Baby Reindeer_, _Fargo_, _Lessons in Chemistry_, _True Detective: Night Country_, and _Ripley_ all securing a place in the running for this year’s race. However, there were a few other shows that deserved a chance at the Emmys, including _Fellow Travelers_, _Expats_, _A Murder at the End of the World_, and _The Sympathizer_—all of which were left out of the running this year. ## **Surprise: Matt Berry** Berry’s gentlemanly lothario of a vampire Laszlo has long been one of _What We Do in the Shadow’_s most charming characters, but has always been overlooked by the Emmys—until this year, when Berry picked up his first nomination (and the show’s only acting nod for the season). ## **Surprise:** Maya Erskine and Donald Glover While _Mr. and Mrs. Smith_ was widely predicted to earn a Drama Series nod, neither of its lead actors was considered a lock. But it looks like the generous charm and undeniable chemistry that made Erskine and Glover one of the year’s most compelling on-screen couples also landed them nominations. While this is Glover’s fifth acting nomination (he’s a two-time Emmy winner for both acting and directing for _Atlanta_ and a 13-time nominee), it’s Erskine’s first and long overdue nomination as an actor (she was previously nominated writing and producing for _PEN15_). ## **S**urprise: Idris Elba Idris Elba’s _Hijack_ on Apple TV wasn’t necessarily a frontrunner for the Emmys race, but the English actor nabbed a nomination in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. ## **Records** ### **Selena Gomez (yes, again!)** Gomez’s third nomination as part of the producing team for _Only Murders in the Building_ makes her the most-nominated Latina producer, per [_Variety_](https://variety.com/2024/tv/awards/selena-gomez-emmys-only-murders-in-the-building-2-1236062450/). ### **Lily Gladstone and Kali Reis** Gladstone, nominated for Supporting Actress in a Drama for _Under the Bridge_, and Reis, nominated for Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for _True Detective: Night Country_, became the first Indigenous actresses ever nominated for an Emmy. The last time an Indigenous actor was nominated was 17 years ago, when August Schellenberg got a nod for the HBO film _Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee_. ### **_The Bear_** Step aside, _30 Rock_: With a total of 23 nominations, _The Bear_ became the most nominated comedy series (yes, the genre classification is debatable, but we don’t make the rules!). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6999626/emmy-nominations-2024-snubs-surprises/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6999626/emmy-nominations-2024-snubs-surprises/"},"headline":"The Biggest Snubs and Surprises of the 2024 Emmy Nominations","datePublished":"2024-07-17T16:54:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-01-19T17:35:23.000Z","description":"From overlooked performances in 'The Curse' and other series to overdue recognition for 'Reservation Dogs' and Selena Gomez.","url":"https://time.com/6999626/emmy-nominations-2024-snubs-surprises/","keywords":["awards","culturepod"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt96b73c79cd8fa36b/698a58d3b3fce31c860cd60c/emmy-snubs-surprises-2024.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Moises Mendez","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/moises-mendez-ii/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt96b73c79cd8fa36b/698a58d3b3fce31c860cd60c/emmy-snubs-surprises-2024.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"emmy-snubs-surprises-2024","caption":"","creditText":"Hulu (2); Netflix; Amazon MGM Studios; Everett","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/awards/","name":"awards"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6999626/emmy-nominations-2024-snubs-surprises/","name":"The Biggest Snubs and Surprises of the 2024 Emmy Nominations"}}]}] ```
