Nominees were announced on Tuesday, July 15. Severance leads the pack with a whopping total of 27 nominations, closely followed by The Penguin with 24 nominations, The White Lotus and The Studio with 23 nominations, and The Last of Us with 16 nominations.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Psychological thriller "Severance" from Apple TV+ and HBO's crime drama "The Penguin" stacked up the most nominations for Emmy Awards on Tuesday, outpacing "The Studio" and "The White Lotus" in the contest for television's highest honors.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves—the nominations were just announced this morning. Brenda Song and Harvey Guillén took the stage in L.A. to present the nominees. The two did a pretty decent bit about how no one wanted them to do a bit at 8:30 in the morning, which was honestly a pretty solid bit, even if they had to play it to an empty room.
