Among the major drama, comedy and limited\/anthology series categories, just one broadcast show earned a nod: ABC\u2019s \u201cAbbott Elementary.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=3965\">Dakota and Elle Fanning Starrer \u2018The Nightingale\u2019 Moves to March, Facing Off Against \u2018Sonic 4\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cAbbott\u201d received noms for outstanding comedy series, lead actress (Quinta Brunson), supporting comedy actress (Janelle James) and supporting comedy actor (Tyler James Williams).\n\n\t\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnd if you look at the entire list of Emmy nominations, just seven live-action scripted broadcast primetime shows made the cut: \u201cAbbott,\u201d \u201cFBI,\u201d \u201cThe Neighborhood,\u201d \u201cThe Rookie,\u201d \u201cShifting Gears,\u201d \u201cStumble\u201d and \u201cWill Trent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe lack of broadcast representation is part of the ongoing conversation the TV Academy is having with outlets as its current \u201cwheel deal\u201d with ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC ends and it looks to strike a new licensing agreement for the Emmy ceremony. (Still pushing for my \u201croad block\u201d simulcast idea, which seems to be gaining traction!) Meanwhile, here are a few more pieces of trivia, oddities and curiosities coming out of the 2026 Emmy nominations.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>KEEP IT SHORT:<\/strong> There are several Emmy performance overachievers this year, including Jason Bateman (nominated for \u201cBlack Rabbit\u201d and \u201cDTF St. Louis\u201d), Matthew Rhys (\u201cWidow\u2019s Bay\u201d and \u201cThe Beast in Me\u201d), Colman Domingo (\u201cThe Four Seasons\u201d and \u201cEuphoria\u201d), Laurie Metcalf (\u201cMonster: The Ed Gein Story\u201d and \u201cHacks\u201d) and Nick Offerman (\u201cMargo\u2019s Got Money Troubles\u201d and \u201cDeath by Lightning\u201d). But Martin Short has an even more unusual trifecta: He\u2019s nominated for lead comedy actor (\u201cOnly Murders in the Building\u201d) and game show host (\u201cMatch Game\u201d), and he\u2019s the subject of the doc \u201cMarty, Life Is Short,\u201d nommed for documentary or nonfiction special.\n\n\t\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>TALK BUDDIES:<\/strong> Sure, they compete on air and sometimes for awards, but the recent crop of late night hosts have formed a bond in recent years \u2014 and that extends to even helping each other win Emmys, as Jimmy Kimmel did when he campaigned last year for Stephen Colbert. Now, Colbert has a chance to return the favor: \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d is nominated in two categories (production design and lighting design\/lighting direction) for an episode that features Colbert and another late-night competitor, Seth Meyers, as guests.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>CANCELED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN:<\/strong> NBC\u2019s late \u201cStumble\u201d did better than most broadcast shows still on the air, landing a nom for scripted programming choreography. Other canceled shows that scored nods included Peacock\u2019s \u201cPonies\u201d and \u201cPoker Face,\u201d Prime Video\u2019s \u201cGen V\u201d and Apple TV\u2019s \u201cPalm Royale,\u201d which landed eight noms. Then, of course, there\u2019s \u201cThe Late Show With Stephen Colbert,\u201d picking up a series-best nine nominations as CBS inexplicably ended the top-rated late-night program.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>DIRECTING HISTORY:<\/strong> Salli Richardson-Whitfield became the first Black woman to receive two nominations in the outstanding directing in a drama series category \u2014 picking up nods for HBO Max\u2019s \u201cThe Gilded Age\u201d episode \u201cMy Mind Is Made Up\u201d and \u201cTask\u201d episode \u201cOut Beyond Ideas of Wrongdoing and Rightdoing, There Is a River.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>NOT SO BAD:<\/strong> \u201cThe Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Starring Bad Bunny\u201d earned nine noms \u2014 the most ever for a Super Bowl halftime show (surpassing Lady Gaga\u2019s six in 2017). But that wasn\u2019t all for Bad Bunny: His gig as guest host scored a nom for \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d in makeup for a variety\/nonfiction\/reality program.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>TWO BUNNIES?: <\/strong>In the outstanding variety special (live) category, the listed nominee credit for \u201cThe Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show\u201d initially included both \u201cBenito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, producer\u201d and \u201cBad Bunny, performer.\u201d But that\u2019s the same person. Could both personas take home a statue? We asked the TV Academy and they shared an update that his two credits have been combined, as \u201cBenito Antonio Martinez\u00a0Ocasio\/Bad Bunny, producer\/performer.\u201d So if the program wins,\u00a0he will only receive one Emmy.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u2019MOUNT THIS:<\/strong> The \u201cSouth Park\u201d episode \u201cSermon on the \u2019Mount,\u201d which skewered then-Comedy Central parent Paramount Global and its concessions to the Trump administration in the wake of the company\u2019s acquisition by Skydance, earned two nominations. That\u2019s more than the single nod that the entire Paramount+ streamer achieved.\n\n\t\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>HAPPY CENTENNIAL:<\/strong> David Attenborough earned two outstanding narrator nominations (Netflix\u2019s \u201cA Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough\u201d and Nat Geo\u2019s \u201cOcean With David Attenborough\u201d), making him the oldest Primetime Emmy nominee ever. That distinction was previously held by Norman Lear, who was 99 years and 11 months old when nominated in 2022.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=3963\">\u2018Moana\u2019: Lin-Manuel Miranda on Writing the Song \u2018Along The Way\u2019 in a Week and Being in the Oscar Race With Taylor Swift<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>STOLEN VIDEO VALOR: <\/strong>MTV received 11 Emmy nominations this year, split between \u201cRuPaul\u2019s Drag Race\u201d and \u201cRuPaul\u2019s Drag Race: Untucked.\u201d But not included in the cabler\u2019s tally? \u201cThe 2025 MTV Video Music Awards,\u201d which was nominated in the outstanding choreography for variety or reality programming category but credited to CBS. The Eye network served as lead broadcaster for the VMAs this year \u2014 stripping an already barren MTV of its flagship event. Now, CBS gets to benefit from the decline of MTV by adding the VMAs to its tally instead of the beleaguered cabler.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>THROUGH THE YEARS:<\/strong> Outstanding period costumes voters can make their choice depending on era. That includes \u201cBridgerton\u201d (1810s), \u201cThe Gilded Age\u201d (1880s), \u201cMonster: The Ed Gein Story\u201d (1950s), \u201cPalm Royale\u201d (1960s), or \u201cLove Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. &amp; Carolyn Bessette\u201d (1990s).<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>AVA FEST<\/strong>: It\u2019s always amusing to note that Janelle James is nominated for playing Ava Coleman on \u201cAbbot Elementary.\u201d But then, the real Ava Coleman is nominated as a supervising producer on \u201cAbbott Elementary,\u201d up for outstanding comedy series. So there\u2019s always a chance two different Ava Colemans hit the stage on Emmy night.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>FANNING OUT:<\/strong> Elle and Dakota Fanning both had a great Emmy nomination morning. Both are nominated as part of the production team on Apple TV\u2019s \u201cMargo\u2019s Got Money Troubles,\u201d up for outstanding comedy. Elle Fanning is also nominated for comedy lead actress, while Dakota Fanning is nommed for supporting actress in limited\/anthology for Peacock\u2019s \u201cAll Her Fault.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>LIVE-TO-TAPE:<\/strong> Nikki Glaser is covered in both variety special categories. For variety special (live) she\u2019s nommed as part of the 83<sup>rd<\/sup> Annual Golden Globes team, and in variety special (pre-recorded), her special \u201cNikki Glaser: Good Girl\u201d scored a nod.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>OK EPKs:<\/strong> The TV Academy\u2019s outstanding short form nonfiction or reality series category continues to be dominated by what are essentially marketing videos for TV shows. Nominated are \u201cHacks: Bit By Bit,\u201d \u201cInside The Pitt,\u201d \u201cLove Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. &amp; Carolyn Bessette \u2013 A Love Untold\u201d and \u201cShrnking \u2014 In It Together.\u201d The one original entrant: Netflix\u2019s \u201cThis Is A Gardening Show.\u201d\u00a0\n\n\t\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>YOU LIKE HER:<\/strong> Sally Field gets the longevity title among all performers this year when it comes to how long ago they received their first Emmy Award: Field first won in 1977 in the outstanding lead actress in a limited series (back then we called them \u201cminiseries\u201d) field for \u201cSybil.\u201d In 2026, she\u2019s nominated in the lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie category for Netflix\u2019s \u201cRemarkably Bright Creatures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>THE<\/strong> <strong>CHALMERS BEFORE THE STORM:<\/strong> Hank Azaria has received 12 nominations and won four Emmys for his voice work on \u201cThe Simpsons.\u201d But in 2026, this reps the first time he has landed the Emmy nom for voicing Superintendent Gary Chalmers \u2014 a minor Springfield character who has been seen on the show more often in recent years. Azaria first won in 1998 for voicing Apu; in 2001 he won for a host of characters: Apu, Comic Book Guy, Carl, Lou, Police Chief Wiggum and Moe. His 2003 win was for Moe, Carl, Chief Wiggum, Apu, Johnny Tightlips, Bumblebee Man and Cletus, while in 2015, he won for Moe Szyslak and Pedicab Driver. Azaria\u2019s most recent nominations, in 2024 and 2025, were also for Moe. But break out the steamed hams, because Superintendent (or as Ralph would say, \u201cSuper Nintendo\u201d) Chalmers has now arrived!<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>HACKING HISTORY: <\/strong>If Jean Smart were to win her fifth consecutive best comedy actress Emmy for \u201cHacks,\u201d it would complete her entire series run and also tie her with Cloris Leachman and Julia Louis-Dreyfus with the most Emmys won by a performer (with a career eight wins). What\u2019s more, she\u2019d glide into second place for the title of most Emmys won by a performer in the same role and same series, alongside Candice Bergen (\u201cMurphy Brown\u201d) and Don Knotts (\u201cAndy Griffith Show\u201d), who each earned five. Only Louis-Dreyfus scored more \u2014 six, for \u201cVeep.\u201d Maybe trying to tie that record was reason alone for \u201cHacks\u201d to squeeze out one more season!<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>EMMY PITT: <\/strong>Get on \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d and there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll land your first-ever Emmy nom. This year, that included first-time nods for Brittany Allen, Tal Anderson, Patrick Ball, Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif, Ernest Harden Jr., Gerran Howell, Tina Ivlev, Jeff Kober and Sepideh Moafi. Other first time nominees were Leslie Bibb (\u201cHacks\u201d), Dale Dickey (\u201cWidow\u2019s Bay\u201d), Charlie Hunnam (\u201cMonster: The Ed Gein Story\u201d), Chase Infiniti (\u201cThe Testaments\u201d), Hamish Linklater (\u201cWidow\u2019s Bay\u201d), Charles Melton (\u201cBeef\u201d), Carey Mulligan (\u201cBeef\u201d), Kate O\u2019Flynn (\u201cWidow\u2019s Bay\u201d), Sarah Pidgeon (\u201cLove Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. &amp; Carolyn Bessette\u201d), Miriam Shor (\u201cPluribus\u201d), Megan Stalter (\u201cHacks\u201d), Connor Storrie (\u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d), Joy Sunday (\u201cDTF St. Louis\u201d), Carlos-Manuel Vesga (\u201cPluribus\u201d), Matt Vogel (\u201cThe Muppet Show\u201d), Lauren Weedman (\u201cHacks\u201d), Karolina Wydra (\u201cPluribus\u201d) And Youn Yuh-jung (\u201cBeef\u201d).<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=3961\">Christopher Nolan Says \u2018Odyssey\u2019 Backlash Over Casting and More Is \u2018Irrelevant\u2019 and He\u2019s Learned Not to Worry: \u2018Remember, I Spent 10 Years Dealing With Batman\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Awards Circuit Column: Our annual look at some of the oddities and curiosities coming out of the 2026 Emmys nominations \u2014 Bad Bunny double dip and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[1948,908,2168,1652],"class_list":["post-3967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tv","tag-abbott-elementary","tag-awards-circuit-column","tag-bad-bunny","tag-emmys-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
