The medical drama "The Pitt" and the comedy series "Hacks" are leading the nominations for this year's Emmy Awards, America's premier television honors. "The Pitt" secured a total of 25 nominations, closely followed by the final season of "Hacks" with 24 nods.
Among the nominees are several British actors, including Matthew Rhys, who received two lead acting nominations for his work in "Widow's Bay" and "The Beast In Me." Other British talent recognized include Riz Ahmed for "Bait," Carey Mulligan for "Beef," Gary Oldman for "Slow Horses," and Rufus Sewell for "The Diplomat."
However, the nominations for the 78th Emmy Awards saw no room in the best drama category for the final seasons of popular shows such as "Stranger Things" and "Euphoria." The full list of nominations positions "The Pitt" and "Hacks" at the forefront of the race for the prestigious awards.
