Emmy nominations: 'The Pitt' leads with 25, 'Hacks' close behind with 24

The Emmy nominations were announced on Wednesday, with HBO Max's 'The Pitt' leading all nominees with 25 nods for its second season. The emergency room drama, which won best drama series last year, dominated acting categories: Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa were nominated again, while Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif, and Sepideh Moafi earned supporting actress nods (taking four of seven slots), and Patrick Ball, Shawn Hatosy, and Gerran Howell were nominated for supporting actor. 'Hacks' led comedies with 24 nominations for its fifth and final season, benefiting from Emmy voters' affection for departing shows. First-season series 'Pluribus' and 'Widow's Bay' also scored big, while 'Beef' earned the most nods in the anthology category.
