The Emmy Nominations Marked a Territorial Shift of Who Owns Prestige TV

ChatGPT said:
On my next show, I’ll be diving into this year’s Emmy nominations and what they reveal about the shifting landscape of prestige television. HBO dominated once again with a massive 142 nominations, reminding everyone who still runs the Emmy game. But Netflix, the undisputed king of overall viewership and subscriptions, wasn’t far behind with 121 nods. Meanwhile, Apple TV+ made history with its highest nomination count ever—81—with standout shows Severance and The Studio leading the charge. That’s pretty impressive for a platform that’s only been around six years.

We’ll also look at the surprising snubs—especially for Prime and Paramount+, who were completely shut out of above-the-line categories. And for those who love a bit of Hollywood crossover, two Oscar-winning directors, Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard, were nominated—not for directing—but for guest acting in The Studio. They’re joined by the brilliant Bryan Cranston, who I personally think stole the final episodes with his wild and hilarious performance. There’s a lot to unpack about how TV is evolving, and I’ll be covering it all on the next episode.
