Notable shows missing from the list of nominations included HBO’s “The Sympathizer,” Prime Video’s “Expats,” Showtime’s “The Curse,” and “The Acolyte” from Disney+/Lucasfilm.
“Shōgun” not only stands as the frontrunner for Best Drama but also led overall with 25 nominations, celebrated for its vivid artistry in portraying the Sengoku period. Its nominations range from period-specific production design to sound mixing and stunt performance.
“Fallout,” under the creative vision of Jonathan Nolan, ranks as “Shōgun’s” direct competitor. The series captured nominations in categories like fantasy/sci-fi costumes and various editing and sound categories. Its strongest chances lie in cinematography, visual effects, and sound categories.
“Issa López’s” chilling series “Night Country” features Jodie Foster and Kali Reis unraveling a supernatural mystery in Alaska and has garnered nominations across editing, makeup, music, and special effects.

Meanwhile, “The Crown” in its final season transitioned more contemporary themes and captured nominations for its cinematography, sound mixing, and other areas.
“The Bear” made a significant splash in its second season, particularly in comedy categories, reflecting its acclaim with a record-breaking 23 nominations.
For animated shows, nominations included “Blue Eye Samurai” on Netflix, “Bob’s Burgers” on Fox, “Scavengers Reign” on Max, “The Simpsons” on Fox, and Disney+/Marvel’s “X-Men ’97,” with the latter emerging as a particularly strong contender.
