Key Points:
- The comedy series Hacks led the 2026 Emmys with a record 24 nominations for its final season but won only two awards, including Jean Smart's historic best actress win for every season of a TV series.
- Widow’s Bay dominated the comedy categories, winning 14 of its 19 nominations, including all comedy awards except best actress.
- The Bear and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver underperformed, with The Bear winning only guest actor and John Oliver’s show going home empty-handed as Stephen Colbert’s Late Show won best variety series.
- In limited series, DTF St. Louis won best limited series but had most awards at the Creative Arts Emmys, while Beef season two and other nominees like Love Story and All Her Fault failed to win major categories.
- The Pitt won six awards including best drama and best drama actor, Allison Janney’s win for best supporting actress in drama was a surprise, and Slow Horses continued its success in directing categories.
