This year’s ceremony will be hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, who will be joined by rising stars Sydney Sweeney and Jenna Ortega, ensuring a mix of humor, energy, and glamour on stage. Fans worldwide are eager to see if their favorite shows will take home the coveted golden statuette.

The Shows Leading the Race

Among the heavyweights, Apple TV+’s Severance dominates the field with a staggering 27 nominations, including a nod for Best Drama Series. Close behind are The Penguin with 24 nominations, and other major contenders such as The White Lotus, The Studio, and Adolescence.

In the Outstanding Drama Series category, the competition is fierce. Titles like The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, and Slow Horses join Severance in what promises to be one of the most closely watched races of the night.

Comedy also shines this year, with fan favorites like Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, and Only Murders in the Building up for Outstanding Comedy Series. Meanwhile, breakout hit Nobody Wants This and cult classic What We Do in the Shadows add variety to the mix.

The Nominees to Watch

The acting categories are stacked with talent. For Lead Actor in a Drama, frontrunners include Sterling K. Brown (Paradise), Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us), and Adam Scott (Severance), each delivering powerhouse performances. On the actresses’ side, Bella Ramsey earns recognition for her nuanced portrayal in The Last of Us, alongside Keri Russell (The Diplomat) and Britt Lower (Severance).

Comedy brings its own roster of stars. Jeremy Allen White returns with momentum from The Bear, while Martin Short (Only Murders in the Building) and Seth Rogen (The Studio) bring comedic pedigree. Newcomer Adam Brody is also in the mix for his breakout role in Nobody Wants This.

Presenters and Star Power on Stage
