News Summary

• “Hacks,” in its final season, broke the record for most nominations for a single season of a comedy with 24 nods.
• HBO Max has only won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series once, but it has been a major player in the comedy categories from the start of its run.
• Matthew Rhys, Kate O’Flynn, Dale Dickey, Stephen Root, and Jeff Hiller were all very charming, to the point where I’d have them as frontrunners in their categories still.
