The nominees for the 76th Emmy Awards — television’s top honor — were announced earlier this summer, and “The Bear” ate it up.
The beloved FX series, set in a Chicago sandwich shop-turned-high-end eatery, scored 23 nominations this year, breaking the record of 22 set by the NBC hit “30 Rock” back in 2009.
In the drama category, “Shōgun” had the most nominations this year with 25.
The all-time record of 32 nominations, held by HBO’s “Game of Thrones” since 2016, remains unbroken. HBO is owned by CNN’s parent company.
Some past favorites, including “Succession” and “Ted Lasso,” were not in contention this year, but “The Crown,” “The Morning Show” and “Only Murders in the Building” became the new “legacy shows” with multiple nominations.
