Emmy Noms: The Biggest Snubs and Surprises |
The big lesson to be found in this year’s Emmy nominations: Just because voters once loved your show—and just because that show is still popular—that doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed a ticket back to the ceremony. In 2025, this lesson was learned the hard way by Squid Game and The Handmaid’s Tale, two hits which the Television Academy blanked almost entirely when the nods were announced Tuesday morning. Why? This is a year where the Emmys went wild for fresh contenders like The Pitt, Adolescence, and The Studio, leaving some old favorites in the dust. Rebecca Ford and David Canfield take you through the list’s biggest snubs and surprises, including the shows that overperformed and the Oscar winners who were shut out—including Renée Zellweger and Alfonso Cuarón.
