‘Hacks’ & ‘The Pitt’ Help HBO Max Take Emmy Noms Crown Over Netflix As Apple Lands Most Nominations Ever

HBO Max had another stellar morning at the Emmy nominations as huge hauls for Hacks and The Pitt helped it pip Netflix to the top spot.

Apple also had a massive day Wednesday with its most ever nominations thanks to big showings from Pluribus and summer hit Widow’s Bay. It surpassed its total of 79 nominations last year as The Studio and Severance helped its haul.

HBO Max totaled 122 nominations, Netflix landed 111 and Apple scored 87 television nominations. It marked a slight surprise as Netflix was expected to lead, but HBO Max picked up more nominations than expected.

See the full platform scorecard below.

Apple landed three nominations in both the Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Comedy Series categories with Pluribus, Slow Horses and Your Friends and Neighbors in drama and Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Shrinking and Widow’s Bay in comedy. The tech company also counted two commercials.

Amazon will be happy, having reversed its downward numbers from last year’s 12 nominations to land 28 nominations for Prime Video. MGM+ also picked up 11 nominations for Spider Noir.

Paramount+ only landed one nomination (two if you count Showtime), which was down from seven last year. Peacock, meanwhile, was largely in line with last year with 18 nominations.

Broadcast television rebounded slightly with ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC landing 105 nominations, which was up from the 99 it got last year.

Elsewhere, The Daily Show helped Comedy Central to eight noms, YouTube got six, Bravo, thanks to controversial reality hit Summer House, got five, as did PBS.
