Emmys 2026 Nominations: Snubs and Surprises

Although some shows like Pluribus, Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, Shrinking, The Bear and Only Murders in the Building were expected to snag some nods at the Sept. 14 award show—which will stream live on NBC and Peacock—others were more surprising.

Take, for instance, Euphoria, which earned seven nominations for its final season despite a lackluster critical reaction. Nonetheless, Zendaya was able to shake up the Lead Actress in a Drama Series alongside Chase Infiniti (The Testaments), Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age) and Keri Russell (The Diplomat).
