To see the snubs and surprises of the 2025 Emmy Awards, keep reading…

The Handmaid’s Tale concluded in May after six seasons with an explosive series finale, though the final batch of episodes ultimately didn’t receive any nominations. It’s a surprising move since the show has been nominated for 77 Emmys across its run and earned 15 Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series.

The Godfather director may have earned a number of awardsbehind the camera, but he earned his first-ever acting nod—in the guest category—for his cameo in The Studio. 

Surviving the frigid Canadian winter through mutiny and cannibalism wasn’t enough for Yellowjackets to earn any nods this year.

Andor might’ve picked up 14 nominations this year, but its star Diego Luna didn’t earn a spot alongside Adam Scott, Sterling K. Brown, Gary Oldman, Noah Wyle and Pedro Pascal in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category.

Just like her co-star Steve, Selena Gomez didn’t earn any nominations for Only Murders in the Building, despite the series earning eight nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series.

The Apple TV+ series, starring Seth Rogen and Kathryn Hahn, earned critical acclaim following its release, and it proved its worth in gold after outperforming with 23 nominations. Indeed, the show earned Outstanding Comedy Series, Ike Barinholtz earned Outstanding Supporting Actor and Seth’s Outstanding Lead Actor, among other nods.

Harrison Ford might have a vast filmography, but the Star Wars actor just earned his first-ever Emmy nomination at 83 years old for Shrinking in the Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series category.

The HBO dramedy may have earned critical acclaim when it came to reviews for its final season, but it didn’t translate to any major nominations. The series—which stars Danny McBride, Adam DeVine and Edi Patterson—only earned nods in technical categories, like cinematography, music supervision and sound editing.

Although the Hulu series didn’t garner significant traction online like fellow nomineesThe Pitt or The Studio, it did earn nods in the major categories. Along with Outstanding Drama Series, Sterling K. Brown was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor, James Marsden for Outstanding Supporting Actor and Julianne Nicholson for Outstanding Supporting Actress.

The Sean Evans-hosted series has continued to establish itself as a staple in the interviewing world, but was still left out of the Outstanding Talk Series category.

While Black Mirror has earned its fair share of Emmy nominations since premiering in 2011, Rashida Jones became the first star to be nominated for Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for the show. 

Martin Short might’ve gotten his nod in the Outstanding Lead Actor In a Comedy Series for Only Murders in the Building, but his partner in crime Steve Martin was absent from the list.

It’s been a wickedly great year for Bowen Yang, who became the most-nominated Asian male performer in Emmys history with four nods after his Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for Saturday Night Live. (He was nominated in the category in 2024, 2022 and 2021.)

The Wicked actor is also the only other actor to receive a nod for the sketch comedy, with Kenan Thompson earning nominations six times.

Despite coming in hot at the 2022 Emmy Awards with 14 nominations—including Best Drama, the first non-English series to do so—the Netflix series was shut out of all categories for its second season.
