If it feels like we just did the whole Emmy Awards things, that’s because last year’s annual ceremony was delayed from the fall to the winter because of the multiple Hollywood strikes of 2023. With those thankfully behind us, the awards are returning to their more traditional position — with the full list of nominations for 2024 just announced.
The strikes may contribute to some of the eclectic nominees you’ll see below. There are a few Emmy favorites in there, like The Crown for Best Drama Series and Abbott Elementary for Best Comedy. But there are some other shows you might not have expected in there; Prime Video’s Fallout and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Netflix’s 3 Body Problem, and Apple TV+’s Palm Royale for example.
Here are the Emmy nominees for 2024; the winners will be announced on September 15 at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater.
