So much for sleeping in on Tuesday morning.
As a result of a bizarre last-minute decision, the nominees in two Emmys categories will be announced Tuesday morning on CBS nearly four hours ahead of the TV Academy’s official nominations announcement, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
CBS Mornings, the morning show on the network that will be broadcasting this year’s Primetime Emmys, will reveal the nominees for best reality competition series and best talk series at 7:47 a.m. ET/4:47 a.m. PT. Up until a few years ago, the TV Academy would announce their nominees at 5:35 a.m. PT so the nominations could be included on the morning news programs on the East Coast.
They were expected to be announced, along with all of the other high-profile categories, at 11:30 a.m. ET/8:30 a.m. PT by Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song, stars of FX’s What We Do in the Shadows and Netflix’s Running Point, respectively, via the TV Academy’s website and YouTube channel.
The 2025 Emmys will take place on Sept. 14, on the CBS Network and stream live on Paramount+. Comedian Nate Bargatze is hosting the show.
Last year, The Traitors dethroned perennial winner RuPaul’s Drag Race as best reality competition program, while The Daily Show won the Emmy for best talk series. Hacks was named best comedy series, while Shogun won best drama series, and Baby Reindeer won best limited or anthology series.
