The Emmy nominations are out, and after watching all the nominated performances for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series on the 2025 television schedule, I’m completely torn as to who I think should win.

Other people up for their first Emmys include Owen Cooper, Kristen Bell, Colin Farrell, Chloë Sevigny, Adam Brody and Martin Scorsese.

Nominations for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards - television’s top honor - were revealed Tuesday. The Apple TV+ series “Severance” was the most-nominated series, notching 27 nominations, according to the Television Academy.

The 77th Primetime Emmy nominations have been announced, leaving roughly two months to get caught up on series before the trophies are handed out.

Emmy nominations provide insight into how awards campaigns have changed, how late night TV has adapted, and how 'The Studio' helps Apple TV+

The excitement of Emmy nomination morning fades quickly for studios and networks, because the more daunting question is always the same: How do we actually win? It's tempting to judge frontrunners based on sheer nomination tallies.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg say their Emmy nominations for “The Studio” feel especially validating. Their years of success with R-rated comedy films apparently are not nearly as exciting to their moms as getting acknowledged by the Television Academy.

The 76th Annual Emmy Awards will honor series that aired between June 1, 2024 and May 31, 2025. The 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. Nate Bargatze will be hosting the awards show.
