The Emmys split their nominations into three overarching categories: comedy, drama and limited or anthology series.
asserted
Emmys → split → categories
Best drama is generally seen as the night's most prestigious prize, and last year's winner The Pitt is back to defend its title following its second series.
asserted
winner → see → series
The acclaimed medical drama also has eight individual acting nominations, including one for its star, Noah Wyle.
asserted
drama → have → star
Other dramas nominated include Pluribus, Slow Horses, The Diplomat and Game of Thrones prequel A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.
asserted
dramas → nominate → Kingdoms
Over in the comedy categories, Hollywood satire Hacks is predicted by many to continue its hugely successful Emmys streak following its fifth and final season.
asserted
Hacks → predict → season
The show's expected wins could include acting prizes for its two stars, Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder.
uncertain
wins → expect → stars
Smart already has four Emmys for Hacks, having never lost for her performances in the previous four seasons.
asserted
Smart → have → seasons
Another win would bring her total Emmy tally to eight, tying the record held by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cloris Leachman.
asserted
win → bring → Dreyfus
Possible challengers in the comedy categories include Widow's Bay, Shrinking, Abbott Elementary and Nobody Wants This.
asserted
Nobody → include → This
Elsewhere, the second season of Netflix's Beef could be a strong contender in the limited or anthology series category, and win acting prizes for its stars Carey Mulligan and Oscar Isaac.
But it faces strong competition from shows such as All Her Fault, The Beast in Me and DTF St Louis, which had a particularly strong showing at last week's Creative Arts Emmys.
uncertain
which → win → Emmys
British nominees alongside Mulligan include Riz Ahmed (Bait), Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat), Kate O’Flynn (Widow’s Bay) and Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden (both for Slow Horses).
asserted
nominees → include → Horses
And many are keeping a particularly close eye on Welsh star Matthew Rhys, who is nominated in two different lead actor categories - for comedy Widow's Bay and limited series The Beast in Me.
asserted
who → keep → Me
Why isn't Heated Rivalry nominated?
asserted
Rivalry → nominate → ?
The buzziest show of the last year, Heated Rivalry, starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, is missing from this year's Emmy nominations.
asserted
show → star → nominations
The ice hockey romance did not qualify because it is a fully financed Canadian production, without the US involvement needed to be recognised at the Emmys.
asserted
it → qualify → Emmys
Its ineligibility puzzled many who remember Schitt's Creek, a show more Canadian than maple cream cookies, dominating the Emmys in 2021.
But that qualified because of its financial and broadcast partnerships in the US, including creator and star Dan Levy's own American-based production company.
asserted
that → puzzle → company
Heated Rivalry will instead be eligible to compete for the next International Emmys, which take place in New York in November.
asserted
which → compete → November
Meanwhile, two other viral shows popular with younger audiences that were eligible for the US ceremony had a weaker-than-expected showing in the nominations list.
asserted
that → have → list
The final series of Stranger Things is absent in the top categories this year, scoring only seven nominations in technical categories.
And despite its star-packed cast, Euphoria's last season managed only one acting nomination for former winner Zendaya.
asserted
season → score → Zendaya
What changes have been made to the ceremony?
asserted
changes → make → ceremony
Two categories have been merged this year - best talk series and best scripted variety series are now combined in a single category: outstanding variety series.
asserted
merged → merge → category
That means chat show hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel will compete against topical variety shows such as Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.
asserted
hosts → mean → Oliver
Some other categories were also moved out of the telecast this year and have already been handed out, in an effort to revitalise the ceremony and leave more time for entertainment.
asserted
categories → move → entertainment
For example, best supporting actor and actress in a limited series, usually awarded during the main ceremony, were moved to the earlier Creative Arts Emmys ceremonies this year.
asserted
actor → support → ceremonies
The total number of trophies awarded on the big night has been reduced from 26 to 19, a move the Academy said was intended to leave room for more musical performances, comedic sketches and unexpected acceptance speeches.
asserted
Academy → award → performances
