Emmy 2026 Nominations: HBO Leads with Record 122 Nods

Full text

The nominations for the 78th Primetime Emmys have been revealed and HBO is leading the charge.

HBO has received a record-breaking 122 nominations across all of its shows, with Season 2 of The Pitt and the fifth and final season of Hacks accounting for more than 50 of those. Euphoria , DTF St. Louis , Task, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms also made up a significant amount of the nominations for the network. Outside of HBO's umbrella, Apple TV's Pluribus was also a major contender with six nominations in some of the major categories.

A bunch of fan-favorite shows were also snubbed in the acting/writing/directing categories, but made up for it in technical categories. Fallout and Stranger Things , for instance, were both showered in nominations in below-the-line categories, such as sound and makeup.
