Leading the charge with an impressive count of nearly 30 nominations, Severance has left fans buzzing with excitement as they anticipate the 2025 Emmy Awards. This prestigious event, recognized as television’s most significant night, honors the outstanding contributions of actors, writers, and directors within the industry. This year’s Emmy nominations showcase an array of beloved series and miniseries, including the critically acclaimed The Last of Us, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, The White Lotus, and Disclaimer. Each nomination reflects exceptional storytelling, stellar performances, and the creative brilliance that defines modern television.

Despite the excitement surrounding the nominations, there were notable surprises that left many fans feeling disappointed. The absence of Selena Gomez from the nominations list for her remarkable work in OMITB was particularly frustrating for her supporters. Additionally, fellow Steve Martin, who delivered a compelling performance alongside her, also missed out on a nomination. Other well-respected talents such as Meryl Streep and Melissa McCarthy faced similar snubs, raising questions about the nomination process and the criteria used to determine this year’s honorees.

Hollywood Life has compiled and published the comprehensive list of nominees for the 2025 Emmy Awards below, ensuring that fans stay informed about who made the cut in this highly competitive landscape.
