The Biggest Snubs & Surprises Of The 2026 Emmy Nominations

The 2026 Emmy Awards are just a few months away, and on July 8, Liza Colón-Zayas and Jeff Hiller announced the nominees vying for a trophy on TV’s biggest night. Here’s a recap of the 2026 Emmy nominations’ biggest snubs and surprises.

Supriya Ganesh Wasn’t Recognized For The Pitt

The Pitt had another impressive showing overall, but Supriya Ganesh didn’t score a nod for her second (and final) season on the medical drama.

Connor Storrie Gets His 1st Nom

He’s coming to the cottage — I mean, the Emmys. Connor Storrie received his first-ever Emmy nomination: Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series for his hosting gig on Saturday Night Live.

Fans didn’t see any Heated Rivalry nominations due to Emmy eligibility rules. As The New York Times notes, the hit hockey romance was a fully Canadian-funded and produced series (unlike Emmy darling Schitt’s Creek, a co-production with U.S. companies).

Paul Anthony Kelly’s Love Story Omission

Viewers fell in love with newcomer Paul Anthony Kelly in Love Story — but it seems Emmy voters weren’t quite as wooed by his turn as the late John F. Kennedy Jr. While the show earned six noms (including one for co-lead Sarah Pidgeon), Kelly’s performance was not recognized.

Euphoria’s Swan Song

The final season of Euphoria brought a handful of Emmy nods, including well-deserved recognition for Zendaya and Colman Domingo. However, Sydney Sweeney didn’t repeat her Supporting Actress nod from Season 2 — and the show itself wasn’t nominated for Outstanding Drama this time.
