  • HBO Max's "The Pitt" leads with 25 nominations and is favored to win up to nine awards, while "Hacks" ties a record with 24 comedy nominations and could take home as many as twelve trophies during the early ceremonies.
  • Bad Bunny won his first Emmy for producing and performing in the Super Bowl halftime show, which won seven awards including outstanding variety special, beating major telecasts like the Oscars and Grammys.
  • Notable nominees include the late Rob Reiner, who may win a posthumous Emmy for guest actor in a comedy, and Michael J. Fox, nominated for his role in "Shrinking"; several major acting categories have been moved to the early ceremonies to increase star power.
