HBO and Max jumped back into the front of the Emmy field with Tuesday’s nominations for the 77th annual awards. The sibling platforms earned a combined 142 nominations, the most ever for HBO and its sibling streamer.

The combined total beats HBO’s previous high of 137 in 2019, a year before HBO Max launched. The big haul, along with nods for Warner Bros. TV Adult Swim, Discovery and Food Network, also puts Warner Bros. Discovery at the front of the media conglomerate pack with 170 total nominations. That’s well ahead of Disney’s 136 and Netflix’s 121. Apple also had a strong year with 81 total nominations, beating the 72 it received a year ago.

The 142 nominations for HBO and Max in 025 are a huge gain over the 91 they garnered in 2024. A lot of the surge can be attributed to the return of two big contenders, The White Lotus (23 nominations) and The Last of Us (16), to HBO’s schedule after taking the 2023-24 season off. Limited series The Penguin scored 24 nominations, the second most of any program.

Add in strong showings by Max originals Hacks (14 nominations) and first-year breakout The Pitt (13), and five shows account for 90 of HBO and Max’s 142 nominations — about 63 percent of the total. The remaining 52 nominations are spread among 18 other titles.

Only three Netflix shows got double-digit nomations: Adolescence (13), Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (11) and Black Mirror (10). More than 20 shows on the platform received multiple nods, however, a testament to the sheer volume of programming Netflix puts out.

The bulk of Apple TV+’s 81 nominations come from just two shows. Severance leads the pack with 27 nominations (vs. 14 for its first season in 2022), and The Studio landed 23, breaking Ted Lasso’s record of 20 nominations for a first-year comedy series. Shrinking (seven nominations) and Slow Horses (five) also performed well and give Apple two contenders each in the best comedy and best drama series categories.

After a record-setting year in 2024, led by Shōgun’s 26 nominations, FX fell off considerably with 35 nominations. Season three of The Bear leads FX’s haul with 13 (down from 23 a year ago). ABC’s 34 nominations are about even with FX to lead Disney’s haul.
