76th Emmy Awards: Shogun And The Bear To Robert Downey Jr, Meet This Year's Nominees

Television's biggest award night is almost here. The 76th Emmy Awards are Monday, September 16 (IST), roughly nine months after the last celebration of the best television. Here are the shows that will eye Emmy glory.

Leading contenders at Emmys

Shogun is the leading nominee with 25, while The Bear has 23, including best comedy series and best actor in a comedy series for Jeremy Allen White — both awards it won at January’s strike-delayed ceremony. Ayo Edebiri, who won best supporting actress in January, is nominated in the best comedy actress field this time.

The Crown with 19 nominations and Hacks with 16 each return to the Emmys after their own years off. Elizabeth Debicki is nominated for best supporting actress in a drama for playing Princess Diana, while Imelda Staunton is nominated for playing Queen Elizabeth II.

Two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster is a good bet to win her first Emmy as best actress in a limited or anthology series or TV movie for her role in True Detective: Night Country. Reigning best supporting actor Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr could also become a first-time Emmy winner. He’s up for best supporting actor in the limited series category for playing five different roles in The Sympathizer.
