Veteran actress Jean Smart is continuing to receive high acclaim for her performance in the lead role in the show, and it is expected that she might receive a nomination for the comedy segment.
Apple TV+’s comedy series, ‘The Studio’, featuring Seth Rogen, is expected to receive multiple nominations in the comedy segment.

Acting Category Favorites
Noah Wyle is expected to earn a nomination and possibly even a win in one of the acting categories in the drama genre for his work in The Pitt. In the same genre, Zendaya is expected to earn a Lead Actress in a Drama Series award due to her powerful performance in Euphoria.
Jean Smart is expected to earn a nomination for Hacks in comedy. On the other hand, Seth Rogen is expected to earn a nomination for The Studio.
The Road to the 2026 Emmys
All in all, it should be noted that the road to the awards is highly unpredictable and subject to change with time. This is due to the fact that many shows have yet to premiere their episodes and that awards such as the PGA and SAG awards have yet to take place.
At this stage, The Pitt, Pluribus, Hacks, and Zendaya’s performance in Euphoria appear to be the strongest contenders for the 2026 Emmy Awards, thus setting the stage for what promises to be one of the most competitive awards seasons in television history.
