2025 Emmys eligibility window:

After a confusing few years due to delays caused by the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, it makes sense to wonder what years these nominations are from/for. The 2025 Emmys will focus on TV that aired from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025.

2025 Emmy nominations:

There are lots of historic firsts amongst the nominees this year. Ayo Edebiri is the first Black woman to be nominated for acting and directing in a comedy in the same year, and is the youngest Black woman to receive three acting nominations at 29 years old. Sterling K. Brown has tied the record for most Emmy nominations by a Black male performer. Kathy Bates is the oldest actress to be nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama. Bella Ramsey became the youngest two-time nominee for Lead Actress in a Drama at 21 years old — and is the first non-binary person to receive multiple acting nominations. Owen Cooper became the youngest nominee ever for Supporting Actor in a Limited Series at just 15 years old.
