The Television Academy’s final voting period has commenced for the 78th Emmy Awards, with over 20,000 members now holding ballots through Wednesday, August 26. When results are revealed during ceremonies beginning September 5 and concluding with the September 14 primetime broadcast, numerous historic Emmy records could be shattered.
Several significant milestones loom in major categories. HBO Max leads with substantial nominations, anchored by returning drama champion “The Pitt” and the concluding season of “Hacks.” Apple Television could claim its inaugural drama series Emmy if either “Slow Horses” or “Pluribus” prevails, despite previous wins in comedy. Additionally, a limited series could accomplish unprecedented feat by winning twice in its category history, where every prior winner was a single-time champion across the category’s seven-decade existence.
Acting races present compelling possibilities as well. Multiple actresses could tie all-time records for career Emmy victories on the same evening. In guest actor comedy, the results carry particular poignancy with posthumous recognition potential alongside living nominees. Meanwhile, veteran actor Harrison Ford could secure his first Emmy at 84 years old, and established drama performers might win in different shows, joining an exclusive group of actors achieving that distinction.
Results will unfold across two nights, with artisans categories beginning the awards schedule before the major ceremony concludes the Emmy season.
