It's 'Pitt' vs 'Pluribus' in drama and 'Hacks' vs 'Widow's Bay' in comedy at the upcoming Emmys

HBO Max’s The Pitt leads all nominees with 25, while Hacks sets a comedy record with 24 and Apple TV’s Pluribus and Widow’s Bay follow.

  • On Monday, the 78th Emmy Awards featured a showdown between top dramas 'The Pitt' and 'Pluribus,' alongside comedies 'Hacks' and 'Widow's Bay,' with Noah Wyle, Rhea Seehorn, Jean Smart, and Matthew Rhys as runaway favorites for top acting awards.
  • HBO Max's emergency room drama 'The Pitt' entered the night as the top overall nominee with 25 nominations, while 'Hacks' led all comedies with a record-breaking 24 for its fifth and final season.
  • Early Creative Arts Emmy Awards results saw 'The Pitt' secure four wins, including an emotional first career victory for 73-year-old Ernest Harden Jr. as best guest actor in a drama.
  • The ceremony airs live on NBC starting at 8 p.m. Eastern, hosted by three-time Emmy winner Mariska Hargitay, following a recorded FXX broadcast of early Emmys on Saturday.
  • Intense category overlap means 'The Pitt' and 'Widow's Bay' face stiff competition from 'Abbott Elementary' and 'The Bear,' with voters likely to award Jean Smart her first Emmy for 'Hacks' after four previous nominations.
