2024 Emmy Awards nominations: ‘Shōgun’ and ‘The Bear’ take spotlight – National

Call us


This year, the small screen’s biggest hits brought us everything from agitated Chicago chefs in The Bear to historical Japanese power struggles in Shōgun.

On Wednesday, Emmy-winning actors Tony Hale and Sheryl Lee Ralph announced the 2024 Emmy nominations. The academy’s chair, Cris Abrego, also joined in reading the nominations, offering kudos to the year’s top creatives.

There was something for every TV fan in 2024, be it the inspired drama of Netflix’s The Crown or the laugh-out-loud moments from Quinta Brunson on Abbott Elementary. 

In the end, it was Shōgun that led the pack and scored the most nominations, earning 25 in total. The Bear followed close behind with 23, then Only Murders in the Building with 21.

The ambitious Shōgun pleased fans of both the novel and the video game series with its release this year. Set in 1600 Japan, nothing about the show’s energy feels antique. Critics and viewers alike have praised the production for its freshness, with actors Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai (both nominated) breathing life into each dramatic scene.

Despite some middling reviews from critics, the third season of The Bear still managed to earn several nominations. Star Jeremy Allen White, who has already won an Emmy for playing the frazzled chef Carmy, was again nominated for best lead actor in a comedy series. Fan favourites Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach also earned kudos.

The Bear‘s 23 nominations are a new record for the most nods scored by a comedy in a single year.

Netflix’s true-story drama Baby Reindeer was easily one of the most talked-about shows of the year and scored several nominations to reflect its popularity. Richard Gadd, who plays a version of his past self as he copes with an obsessed stalker, received a nomination for his candid — and often uncomfortable — performance. Actor Jessica Gunning earned a nod for her chilling portrayal of Martha.
