The 74th Emmy Awards nominations have been announced, with Stranger Things, Better Call Saul, and Ted Lasso all getting recognition. The 2022 Emmy ceremony will finally be an in-person event, following a two-year break thanks to COVID. No hosts have been announced for the evening as of this writing, but producers reportedly asked Chris Rock and Dwayne Johnson to host, as well as Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, but none of those parties was interested in the job.
The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards was an entirely virtual event, losing some of the glamour of previous years. Still, given the global pandemic at the time, the producers did their best to put on an entertaining show. The Queen's Gambit and The Crown took home 11 wins each that evening, giving Netflix its first Emmy awards win. Ted Lasso won for Outstanding Comedy Series, and so did its star, Jason Sudeikis, for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. The brilliant and criminally underrated HBO Max comedy Hacks brought home some sold thanks to Jean Smart's stunning performance as Deborah Vance, which got her the win for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. One year later, the nominations for the 74th Emmy Awards see some returning favorites and some new players to the game.
Announced by J.B. Smoove and Melissa Fumero, the 74th Emmy Awards nominations see Abbott Elementary and Only Murders In The Building added to the Comedy Series category alongside Barry, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and What We Do in the Shadows. HBO's Succession is the biggest winner, with 25 nominations, although the network's freshman drama, The White Lotus, racked up 20 nominations. Fan-favorites like Stranger Things, Squid Game, and Euphoria also made the cut with 13, 14, and 16 nominations each. For the complete list of this year's nominees, see below:

Standouts from the massive list of nominations include Donald Glover's nomination for Lead Actor for Atlanta, Jodie Comer's Lead actress nom for the final season of Killing Eve, and Quinta Brunson for her performance in Abbott Elementary. The Boys even pulled in a nomination in the Short Form Animated category for The Boys Presents: Diabolical, an animated spinoff anthology on Prime Video. That same category also allowed Star Wars, The Simpsons, and Love, Death + Robots to be nominated for the Emmys as well.
The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled for September 12, 2022, and will air on NBC. As the planned ceremony draws nearer, expect an announcement about who will host to be coming very soon. In the meantime, this is the perfect opportunity to catch up on the nominated shows that have fallen off the radar during the 2021-2022 television season.
