HBO’s Casey Bloys Gets Nostalgic Thinking About All Those Emmy Nominations
HBO received 122 Emmy nominations at the 2026 announcements, extending its pattern of industry leadership. Two shows dominated the haul—Hacks achieved 24 nominations whilst The Pitt garnered 25, with additional recognition across series including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and DTF St. Louis. The nominations acknowledged performances from major actors such as Carrie Coon, Zendaya, and Mark Ruffalo across drama and limited series categories.

Under his tenure, the platform has accumulated 1,208 Emmy nominations and 276 wins, claiming the industry's highest nomination count in seven of the past ten years despite intensifying competition. The recognition arrives at a transitional moment for HBO, as the network prepares for ownership changes and speculation surrounds Bloys's own position going forward.
