2026 Emmy Nominations: Salli Richardson Whitfield and Colman Domingo Each Score Two Nominations [Full List]

The full 78th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations are here and Salli Richardson Whitfield has earned two directing nominations in the same year, for The Gilded Age and Task, while Colman Domingo scored two nominations of his own, for Euphoria as a guest actor in drama and The Four Seasons as supporting actor in comedy. But they are not the only ones making moves. Hanelle M. Culpepper also earned a directing nod for Paradise. Zendaya, Sterling K. Brown, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Chase Infiniti and Joy Sunday all earned nominations across Euphoria, Paradise, Wonder Man, The Testaments and DTF St. Louis, with the Sean Combs: The Reckoning documentary also receiving a nod.

On the series side, The Pitt leads all nominees with 25 nods. Departing shows Euphoria, Stranger Things and The Boys all received recognition alongside Hacks in what is shaping up to be a sentimental year for series finales.
