A Breakdown of the Numbers for the 2024 Emmy Nominations

This year marks a historic moment for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences as it holds two Emmy Awards ceremonies in a single year. The 75th Emmy Awards took place on January 15, instead of the initially planned September 2023 date, due to dual Hollywood strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA. Consequently, the 2023 Emmy Awards were postponed.
