The Television Academy revealed today (Tuesday, July 12) the nominees for the 74th Emmy Awards. In a live-streamed announcement, presenters JB Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) along with Television Academy Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma named the contenders in several major categories.
While many of the nominees in the animation categories have been nominated and honored before (Bob’s Burgers, Rick and Morty, The Simpsons, Love, Death + Robots and Robot Chicken are all Emmy favorites), there are some first-timers in the Emmy nom club, including Arcane, What If…?, The Boys Presents: Diabolical and Star Wars: Visions.
On the live-action front, Succession holds this year’s top spot with 25 Emmy nominations followed by Ted Lasso and The White Lotus (20), Hacks and Only Murders in the Building (17) and Euphoria (16).
“Television continues to keep the world entertained, informed and connected. With production at a historic high, the Academy has received a record number of Emmy submissions this season,” said Scherma. “As we prepare for the entertainment industry’s biggest night, we are thrilled to honor the innovators, creators, performers and storytellers who are propelling this platinum age of television.”
The complete list of Emmy nominations, as compiled by the independent accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP is available at Emmys.com.

Christiane Linke, co-creator & exec producer of nominee Arcane, shared his reaction:
“Arcane’s Emmy nominations for Outstanding Animated Program and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation have left us in shock! It’s hard to put into words what it means to be nominated alongside such a fantastic group of creators and projects. The six year journey to Arcane wouldn’t have been possible without the 400+ professionals who gave it their heart; our colleagues at Riot and their incredible passion for these League of Legends characters, our friends at Fortiche and their top-notch animation, our partners at Netflix and their support and belief in our story, the voice actors who have breathed life into our characters across a multitude of languages, our fantastic writers, producers, external vendors, musicians, sound & VO studios, and so many more … and of course, our League players who have invested in our world, our champions, and our stories for years…this is, and always has been, for you! Thank you to the Television Academy for giving us this recognition!”
