🏆 Emmy Noms 2025: The Streaming Wars

Here’s the full list of nominees.

Last night's Emmy nominations didn't just announce the year's best television—they declared war. When the dust settled, Apple TV+ had orchestrated the most audacious assault on Hollywood's old guard, with "Severance" leading a 27-nomination blitzkrieg that rewrote the record books while a 15-year-old British actor made history.

The Severance Takeover

"Severance" didn't just lead the pack—it obliterated the competition with 27 nominations that signal Apple TV+'s evolution from tech company experiment to prestige television powerhouse. The dystopian workplace thriller's nomination haul represents the highest for any Apple TV+ series ever, proving that sometimes the most twisted visions of corporate life resonate most with voters.

Adam Scott and Britt Lower's dual nominations for their "innie" and "outie" performances showcase the show's ambitious storytelling complexity, while supporting nods for Tramell Tillman, Patricia Arquette, and John Turturro prove the academy recognized "Severance" as this year's ensemble masterpiece.

The Nomination Leaderboard

The top tier reveals a streaming landscape where traditional boundaries have completely dissolved:

• 27 - Severance (Apple TV+) - The workplace dystopia.

• 24 - The Penguin (HBO) - Batman's universe.

• 23 - The White Lotus (HBO) - Mike White's luxury resort satire.

• 23 - The Studio (Apple TV+) - The new comedy that mocks Hollywood.

• 16 - The Last of Us (HBO) - The mushroom zombie apocalypse.

• 14 - Andor (Disney+) - Star Wars finally delivers.

• 14 - Hacks (HBO Max) - The veteran comedy proves staying power.

The Studio's Record-Breaking Debut

Seth Rogen's "The Studio" achieved something unprecedented: tying the comedy nomination record with 23 nods in its first season. The Hollywood satire didn't just mock the industry—it conquered it, with guest star nominations creating a murderer's row featuring Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Bryan Cranston, Anthony Mackie, and Dave Franco.

For a show that literally dissects how entertainment gets made, "The Studio" proved that meta-commentary paired with A-list talent can deliver both critical acclaim and Emmy gold.

The Historic Breakthrough

Owen Cooper's supporting actor nomination for "Adolescence" represents television's willingness to embrace its darkest corners. At 15, Cooper's potential win would make him the youngest male actor to claim an Emmy, but his nomination for playing a 13-year-old murder suspect signals how the medium has matured beyond traditional boundaries.

The Netflix limited series secured 13 nominations total, with Stephen Graham's lead actor nod and supporting nominations for Ashley Walters, Christine Tremarco, and Erin Doherty proving that British imports still captivate when the storytelling cuts deep enough.

The Penguin's Surprising Dominance

"The Penguin" emerged as the limited series juggernaut nobody saw coming. With 24 nominations, Colin Farrell's transformation into Gotham's crime boss proved that superhero television has finally shed its comic book origins for something approaching art.

Paired with Cristin Milioti's breakout performance, "The Penguin" demonstrated that even Batman's universe can deliver prestige television when character work matches spectacle.
