The 2025 Emmy nominations have been revealed.

Nominees in the first two categories — reality competition program and talk series — were announced on CBS Mornings shortly before 8 a.m. ET/5 a.m. PT.

The reality competition program category features last year’s winner The Traitors and frequent past winner RuPaul’s Drag Race alongside The Amazing Race, Survivor and Top Chef.

The talk series category, reduced to just three nominees this year, features last year’s winner The Daily Show as well as Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

And at 11:30 a.m. ET / 8:30 a.m. PT, nominees in more top categories were announced via livestream by What We Do in the Shadows‘ Harvey Guillén, Running Point‘s Brenda Song and Television Academy chair Cris Abrego.

Fans can watch that announcement, live from the Wolf Theatre at the TV Academy’s Saban Media Center, on the Emmys‘ website and TV Academy’s YouTube channel.

The 77th Emmy Awards, hosted by Nate Bargatze, is set to air live on CBS from the Peacock Theater in L.A. on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. The show will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Prior to the CBS ceremony, awards in the majority of the Emmys’ categories will be presented at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday, Sept. 6 and Sunday, Sept. 7.

At the 2024 Emmys, Hacks won best comedy series along with best comedy actress (Jean Smart) and writing for a comedy series; Shogun took best drama series and 17 other awards, and Baby Reindeer won best limited series and five other awards. Though it was bested by Hacks for the top prize of best comedy series, The Bear set a new record for most wins in a single season for a comedy with 11, surpassing its tally of 10 from the year before.
