LOS ANGELES — The countdown is over: The 2025 Emmy nominations have been announced.

"Severance," Apple TV+'s sci-fi workplace dark comedy, was the top nominee earning 27 total nominations. HBO's gritty comic book gangster origin story, "The Penguin," followed with 24 total nominations. The swanky luxury drama "The White Lotus" and the sharp Hollywood satire "The Studio" followed with 23 nominations apiece.

Harvey Guillén, the actor who played the sole human roommate in a vampire household on FX's "What We Do in the Shadows" for six seasons, and Netflix's "Running Point" star and real-life knowledgeable sports fan Brenda Song were tapped to make the announcement live from the Television Academy's Wolf Theatre and brought their comedic flair.

"In an year when the industry has continued to evolve creatively, structurally and economically, one thing remains clear," said academy chair Cris Abrego to kick off the announcement show. "Powerful performances and compelling stories still cut through."

As a teaser, the nominations for talk series and reality competition program were announced at 4:47 a.m. PT live on "CBS Mornings."

The 77th Emmy Awards will be held on Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. The live telecast will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+. The Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which honors the artistic and technical achievements as well as some performance categories, will be held on Sept. 6 and 7, then edited to air Sept. 13 on FXX.
