The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards are here and will be held on September 14 at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Indian audiences can watch the live broadcast on JioHotstar at 5.30 am IST on September 15. This year the awards will be dominated by shows like Severance, The Pitt, Adolescence, and The Studio. Here are the nominations and predictions in major categories:AndorThe DiplomatThe Last of UsParadiseThe PittSeveranceSlow HorsesThe White LotusPrediction: Leading with 27 nominations, Severance seems the most likely winner of this category. The show, which stars Adam Scott in the lead role, follows employees at the biotechnology corporation Lumon Industries who have undergone “severance” — a medical procedure that ensures they retain no memories of the outside world while at work and have no recollection of their job once they leave. This results in two distinct personalities for each employee. While Severance has a strong chance to win, shows like The Pitt and Andor will provide tough competition.Best comedy seriesAbbott ElementaryThe BearHacksNobody Wants ThisOnly Murders in the BuildingShrinkingThe StudioWhat We Do in the ShadowsPrediction: While this category sees old-timers — Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks — competing with new series like The Studio and Nobody Wants This, it is tough to predict who will bag the prize. Nobody Wants This and Only Murders in the Building are fan favourites and among the most popular shows of the year, but Hollywood seems smitten by Seth Rogen’s The Studio, which is likely to sweep the award. Last year, Hacks took the trophy, but this time fans are questioning its nomination in the Best Comedy Series category.Best limited or anthology seriesAdolescenceBlack MirrorDying for SexMonsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez StoryThe PenguinPrediction: This will be by far the most predictable win this year: Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham’s Adolescence. The show rattled the industry and audiences with its portrayal of 13-year-old schoolboy Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who is arrested after allegedly murdering a girl in his school, motivated by online misogyny and toxic masculinity. It is now the second-most viewed English-language program in Netflix history.Story continues below this adLead actor in a drama seriesSterling K Brown (Paradise)Gary Oldman (Slow Horses)Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us)Adam Scott (Severance)Noah Wyle (The Pitt)Prediction: In this category again, Severance and The Pitt take the lead with Adam Scott and Noah Wyle competing for the award.
