The Emmy nominations are here. ‘Severance,’ ‘The White Lotus’ and ‘Adolescence’ could have a big day

By ANDREW DALTON Associated Press Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES AP Severance could separate itself from the competition and reach the upper echelons of the Emmy Awards when nominations are broadcasted Tuesday morning The dystopian workplace drama from Apple TV achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season that often leads to the kind of Emmy dominance enjoyed in current years by Succession and Shogun Related Articles Literary prize honoring works promoting peace announces finalists Love Island revives conversation about racial bias and misogynoir in dating Love Island USA crowns winning couple of show s tumultuous seventh season BBC says it s untenable for Gregg Wallace to host MasterChef after sexual misconduct assessment A designer dressed Chappell Roan with seaweed But don t expect to find the approach in stores yet But a flowering of Emmys tends to follow HBO s The White Lotus wherever it goes and HBO Max s newcomer The Pitt could challenge for nominations and for wins when the trophies are handed out in September All will benefit from the absence of Shogun which last year led all Emmy nominees with and set a record for wins in a season with Its second season is still in the early stages of production and it shouldn t be around for next year s Emmys either Severance has become a signature show for Apple TV The streamer has gotten plenty of Emmy nominations for dramas including The Morning Show and Slow Horses and Ted Lasso was downright dominant on the comedy side But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially Adam Scott and Britt Lower are virtual locks for lead acting nominations for what amounted to dual roles as their characters innie work selves and outie home selves Tramell Tillman is just as likely to get a nod for playing their tone-shifting pineapple-wielding supervisor and Ben Stiller is bound to get a directing nomination Severance got nominations for its first season in but won just two for its music and its title sequence Nominations will be streamed live beginning at a m Eastern at Emmys com nominations The reality competition series and talk series nominees will be informed earlier on CBS Mornings at around a m Eastern What else may get Emmy nomination Apple TV s Hollywood satire The Studio could draw a host of comedy nominations for its first season as it takes on previously dominant Emmy veterans like Hacks and The Bear The Studio star and co-creator Seth Rogen could get nods for acting writing and directing and the show s all-star guest stars including Zo Kravitz Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard may also add specific novelty to the nominations Hacks star Jean Smart has won best lead actress in a comedy for all three previous seasons of the HBO Max series and is the favorite for the fourth The show won best comedy series last year too The Bear set a record for comedy nominations with last year for its acclaimed second season This year its third season is up for Emmys even though its fourth has already aired It got a more lukewarm reception leaving its status coming into the nominations murky The White Lotus HBO s darkly comic resort drama submits all the members of its big ensemble cast in supporting categories which they tend to dominate Its Thailand-set third season included ballyhooed performances from Walton Goggins Carrie Coon Parker Posey and Sam Rockwell among several others The Pitt HBO Max s prestige anatomical procedural starring ER veteran Noah Wyle had reached the top tier of majority prognosticators Emmy prediction lists by the time its first season ended in April Wyle who was nominated five times without a win for ER could join Scott to make best actor in a drama a two-man race And the show s other doctors and nurses played by lesser known actors could draw nominations if The White Lotus cast leaves them any room Last year the British Netflix production Baby Reindeer was surprisingly dominant in the limited series categories This year it will surprise no one if the Netflix British crime drama Adolescence does the same in the same categories It was ostensibly the majority of acclaimed show of the year Fifteen-year-old Owen Cooper who plays the -year-old accused of a killing at the center of the story is likely to get one of several acting nominations How streaming has changed TV and the Emmys All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era and the like the Oscars its most of acclaimed nominees rarely have the huge audience they once did While an impressive average of million people per episode watched Wyle on The Pitt at several point on HBO Max according to Warner Bros Discovery years ago an average of million sat down on the same night and watched him on ER on NBC The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities with a sparse shining exceptions ABC s Abbott Elementary has annually drawn plenty of comedy nominations and should get its share this year And Oscar-winner Kathy Bates is a front-runner for the best actress in a comedy Emmy for her role on CBS s Matlock She would be the first person nominated in the category from a architecture show since and the first to win it since CBS will air the th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept Nate Bargatze is slated to host
