The nominees for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards (airing September 14, 2025, on CBS, hosted by Nate Bargatze) were announced this morning, and the HBO limited series The Penguin earned a total of 24 Emmy nominations for the 2025 awards.
While a substantial amount of the 24 come from the technical and craft categories, the major awards the show is up for includes a top-tier nomination for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.
The show's cast received major acclaim as well, with Colin Farrell nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor and Cristin Milioti for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Additionally, Deirdre O'Connell was honored with a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
In other genre-related news, Andor received 14 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, while The Last of Us received 16 Emmy nominations, including Pedro Pascal for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
However, Emmy nominations are seemingly never without controversy and this year, sci-fans are particularly miffed that Diego Luna wasn't individually nominated for Andor.
Below, you can check out the nominees for the main categories. The Emmys will air on CBS this fall, on September 14th.
