Connor Storrie nabs first Emmy nomination, but 'Heated Rivalry' ineligible

The Emmy nominations are in, celebrating the best of television from June 1, 2025, to May 31 this year. Mariska Hargitay will host the ceremony on September 15, Australian time.

"Widow's Bay" emerged as a major contender, securing 19 nominations, including a Best Comedy nod. This success comes despite three of its episodes falling outside the eligibility window. The Apple TV+ series, which gained popularity through word-of-mouth, follows a trajectory similar to other high-concept hits like "Severance."

In a surprising turn, breakthrough star Connor Storrie received his first Emmy nomination for his hosting work on "Saturday Night Live." However, the popular Canadian hockey romance "Heated Rivalry" was ineligible for the Primetime Emmys because it lacks a U.S. co-production partner. Storrie faces stiff competition, including a nomination for Michael J. Fox and a posthumous nod for Rob Reiner.

The final season of Sam Levinson's "Euphoria" concluded with a whimper rather than a bang, according to some critics. Despite the off-screen drama that plagued the four-year gap between seasons, Zendaya and Colman Domingo earned nominations for their performances. However, former nominee Sydney Sweeney and Australian actor Jacob Elordi were notably absent from the nominations list.
