The 76th Emmy Awards, airing on September 15, 2024, marks a historic event with 'Shōgun' leading the nominations with 25, including a record 14 wins at the Creative Arts Emmys. The series, the first Japanese-language drama nominated for Best Drama, is poised to break further records at the ceremony. Competing for Best Comedy is 'The Bear,' which garnered 23 nominations, and is favored to win its second consecutive award. The ceremony, hosted by Eugene and Dan Levy, follows the rescheduled 75th Emmys due to last year's Hollywood strikes. Nielsen ratings indicate 'Shōgun' and 'The Bear' have been substantial viewer draws, with 'Shōgun' receiving nearly 100 million hours of viewing. The Emmy Awards are set to celebrate diversity and recognize groundbreaking performances, particularly in light of the underrepresentation of Asian performers historically.
