The following is a press release from the Television Academy:

Nominations for the 74th Emmy Awards were announced today, recognizing an abundance of exceptional new programming and talent, returning favorites and veteran performers, and a broad spectrum of innovative storytelling across multiple platforms.

The live virtual ceremony was hosted by JB Smoove (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”) and Melissa Fumero (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) along with Television Academy Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma.

“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.”

It was a year of notable achievement for women. Almost half of the directors nominated in the scripted directing categories were women. This season also saw women receive almost 40% of the nominations in the scripted writing categories. Thirty-four percent of this year’s nominees for Outstanding Writing in all writing categories were women.

In total, there were 50 first-time performer nominees across all performer categories this season including Chadwick Boseman (“What If…?”), Jennifer Coolidge (“The White Lotus”), Elle Fanning (“The Great”), Andrew Garfield (“Under the Banner of Heaven”), Jung Ho-yeon (“Squid Game”), Oscar Isaac (“Scenes From A Marriage”), Lily James (“Pam & Tommy”), Lee Jung-jae (“Squid Game”), Barack Obama (“Our Great National Parks”), Sheryl Lee Ralph (“Abbott Elementary”), Adam Scott (“Severance”), Sebastian Stan (“Pam & Tommy”), Peter Sarsgaard (“Dopesick”), Amanda Seyfried (“The Dropout”), and Sydney Sweeney (two first-time nominations “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus”).

In addition to Sweeney, individuals with multiple nominations this year include Jason Bateman (performance and directing for “Ozark”), Quinta Brunson (performance and writing for “Abbott Elementary”), Nicole Byer (host for “Nailed It” and writing for “Nicole Byer: BBW (Big Beautiful Weirdo)”), Jerrod Carmichael (performance “Saturday Night Live” and writing for “Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel”), Julia Garner (“Ozark” and “Inventing Anna”), Bill Hader (performance, writing and directing for Barry and performance for “Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Steve Martin (performance and writing for “Only Murders in the Building”), Amy Poehler (host for “Making It” and directing for “Lucy and Desi”), Rhea Seehorn (“Better Call Saul” and “Cooper’s Bar”), Harriet Walter (“Ted Lasso” and “Succession”) and Zendaya (performance and music and lyrics for “Euphoria”).

The nominations rosters may be revised in cases where names or titles are incorrect or appeals for changes—including the addition or removal of names—are approved by the Television Academy’s Emmy Awards Committee. Producer eligibility is based primarily on title; the producer nominees in certain program categories will be announced by mid-August and may increase the number of multiple nominees. Final-round online voting begins August 12, 2022.
