Story summary

The 2026 Emmy Awards, honoring television achievements from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026, took place on September 14 at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. HBO Max's "The Pitt" led with 25 nominations and won Best Drama; it faced strong competition from newcomers like "Widow's Bay," which received eight awards including its lead actor Matthew Rhys. In comedy, "Hacks" and newcomer "Beef" were in fierce contention for the top prize. Notably absent was viral hit "Heated Rivalry." Mariska Hargitay hosted the event, and celebrities arrived on the red carpet wearing their best outfits to honor the late fashion designer Bob Mackie.
