FINAL 2024 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Expect a Big Day for ‘The Bear,’ ‘Shōgun,’ ‘Baby Reindeer’
With Emmy nominations right around the corner – Wednesday, July 17 to be exact – it’s time for final predictions in all categories from both myself and AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson to see where we agree and where we split on this season’s race.
As discussed on the AwardsWatch podcast, this year’s limited series categories will see no shortage of competition as every one of those categories is abnormally competitive. With so many limited series coming out in the past year, there are series attempting to stay away from these categories by moving into comedy or drama (I’m a Virgo, The Curse). The nominations will prove if these were wise strategies, but staying out of Baby Reindeer’s path is probably advised.
Shōgun is the hot drama on everyone’s mind this Emmy season, so expecting no shortage of nominations is a safe bet to be the most-nominated show of the season, aiming for 20+. First thought to be a limited series, FX has given a not-a-renewal-but-a-maybe to a couple more seasons, pushing the series into drama where it will do very well amongst its peers. With almost no turning series in most of the categories, there’s room for new blood to come in and make a mark. This includes series like The Gilded Age, a drama that, on paper, should do well with the Television Academy, but perhaps wasn’t able to break in for its first season due to the sheer volume of dramas in the running that year. In a year so heavily affected by both the writer & actor strikes, there will be more space for other series to make their mark.
After The Bear stormed last season’s Emmys with sweeping wins above the line, its second season is aiming to break the all time Emmy record for a comedy series – 22 – which 30 Rock set in 2009. It’ll have to face with the third seasons of Abbott Elementary, Hacks and Only Murders in the Building as well as the 10th and final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm but should be able to clear the tables of any and all of its challengers.
New series’ also stand a great chance of doing well this year, Mr. and Mrs. Smith being a show that premiered just this year but could bring in a slew of nominations. Prime Video has Fallout, Netflix is bringing 3 Body Problem, and AppleTV+ could see chances with Palm Royale. Returning shows like The Morning Show and The Crown will assuredly receive nominations in the double digits, especially considering the latter’s recent end. With so many shows that will be included that haven’t been before, the competition will be a heated one.
Emmy nominations will be announced on Wednesday, July 17 at 8:30am PT by previous Emmy winners Tony Hale and Sheryl Lee Ralph (Hale is in Unfrosted and Quiz Lady, Ralph is in Abbott Elementary) on emmys.com.
The Creative Arts Awards and Governors Gala ceremonies will take place over two nights on September 7 and 8. The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, September 15.
