Emmy nominations 2024 – live: Hollywood prepares for TV awards announcement
The biggest TV awards ceremony of the year – the Emmys – is about to announce its latest round of nominations.
On Wednesday (17 July), at 11.30am ET/16.30pm BST, Veep star Tony Hale and Abbott Elementary’s Sheryl Lee Ralph will reveal the TV shows and stars in contention for this year’s trophies.
They will announce the nods alongside Television Academy chair Cris Abrego, who addressed last year’s writers’ and actor’s strikes, which delayed the 2023 ceremony, in a statement.
“While this year has been marked by significant challenges for our industry and its workforce, there has been an abundance of remarkable programs, extraordinary performances and impactful storytelling,” he said.
“Great television relies on the contributions of so many, and we are delighted to have Tony and Sheryl help us acknowledge excellence across our field as we embark on a season of tremendous celebration.”
The 2023 Emmys were delayed due to the strikes, meaning the ceremony took place in January 2024 instead of September 2023. The next Emmy Awards will occur on 15 September 2024. The shows expected to receive nominations include The Bear, Shogun and Netflix hit Baby Reindeer.
Shows eligible for the Primetime Emmys must have been broadcast in the US between 1 June 2023 and 31 May 2024, with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences choosing the nominees.

The true story behind Shogun
15:00 , Inga Parkel
With Succession no longer in the running, the field for drama is wide open, giving Fx’s historical drama Shogun a possible path to victory.
For those who don’t know the true story of William Adams, the inspiration behind the adaptation of James Clavell’s novel, you’ll want to read on because it’s an epic tale – just as, if not more, epic as the show itself.

The new FX/Disney+ series, adapted from James Clavell’s 1975 novel, is a sprawling historical epic. As Kevin E G Perry writes, both the book and show take inspiration from the remarkable true story of William Adams, the first Englishman to set foot in Japan
Best Drama predictions
14:30 , Jacob Stolworthy
This year’s TV contenders in the Drama category include Shogun, Fallout, The Gilded Age and Mr and Mrs Smith.
Actors from the above that seem likely to be bominated include Shogun stars Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanda, Fallout’s Walton Goggins and Carrie Coon in The Gilded Age.
An outside bet that deserves a nod is The Curse, Nathan Fielder’s existential dramedy featuring a standout performance from Emma Stone that features one of the most memorable shots from the last decade of TV.
What will be nominated?

Shows eligible for the Primetime Emmys must have been broadcast in the US between 1 June 2023 and 31 May 2024, with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences choosing the nominees.
This means that The Bear will be in the running for its stellar second season – but not its divisive third. And shows like The Crown will still be nominated despite concluding some time ago.

Hello, and welcome to this year’s Independent live blog running through the latest round of Emmy nominations!
It’s worth noting that, if you’re one of many thinking, “Wait, didn’t the Emmys already hold a ceremony this year?”, you’re not wrong: it was delayed from September 2023 to January 2024 due to the actors’ and writers’ strike that rocked Hollywood last year.
Technically, the ceremony that aired in January was the 2023 Emmys – and today’s nominations are for the 2024 Emmys.
