New York: The 2025 Emmy nominations have officially landed, and the full list is already sparking conversations across Hollywood and beyond. Revealed live from Los Angeles on the morning of July 15, this year’s nods have once again placed streaming giants front and center—The Bear, Shōgun, Severance, and The White Lotus lead the pack across major categories.
But it’s not just about who topped the charts—it’s also about who didn’t make it. From surprise upsets to glaring snubs (Baby Reindeer, we see you), the 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominations reflect a year marked by creative disruption, post-strike pivots, and standout storytelling that captured audiences in unexpected ways.
In this complete breakdown, we’ll take you through the full list of 2025 Emmy nominees, unpack the biggest surprises, and explore what this means for the upcoming ceremony hosted by Nate Bargatze, set to air September 14 on CBS and Paramount+.
