Major records that could be broken at 76th Emmy Awards
As the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards approach on Monday morning (IST), several records are on the verge of being broken, per VegasInsider. Robert Downey Jr., nominated for The Sympathizer, could become the first actor to win an Oscar, Daytime Emmy, and a Primetime Emmy all within a year! Moreover, Shōgun is on track to extend its record for the most Emmys won by a show in one year, currently standing at 14. Let's take a look at other records.
Downey Jr. eyes unprecedented triple crown
Downey Jr., who played multiple characters in The Sympathizer, is on the brink of making history. He has already secured an Oscar for Supporting Actor in Oppenheimer and a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lifestyle Program for Downey's Dream Cars. Now, he stands a chance to clinch the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series at the Primetime Emmys, which would make him the first actor to win all three awards in one year.
'SNL' continues to dominate Emmy history
Saturday Night Live (SNL) has already made its mark as the most-awarded TV program in Emmy history, reportedly boasting a total of 101 Emmys, including its specials. The show has already bagged six Emmys at the Creative Arts Emmys this year and is nominated for two more at the main ceremony next week. If successful, SNL could further extend its record-breaking run.
'Shōgun' set to extend record Emmy wins
Shōgun has already broken the record for the most Emmys won by a show in a single year, previously held by Game of Thrones. With 14 Emmys already under its belt from the Creative Arts Primetime Emmys, it is nominated for eight more at the main ceremony. This could potentially extend its record even further. It has received 25 nominations this year.
'The Bear' poised to break its own Emmy record
The Bear is in the running to break its own record for the most Primetime Emmys won by a Comedy Series in one year. The show, which won 10 Emmys for its first season, has already secured seven Creative Arts Primetime Emmys this year. With nine more nominations at the main ceremony, it could potentially surpass its previous record.
'RuPaul's Drag Race' aims for 25th Emmy win
RuPaul's Drag Race could extend its record as the most awarded reality program in Emmy history across all categories. The show has already won 24 Emmys, and a win at the main ceremony in the Outstanding Reality Competition category would mark its 25th victory, further solidifying its place in television history.
'Curb Your Enthusiasm' seeks 1st win after 11 nominations
Curb Your Enthusiasm is looking at extending its record for the most nominated comedy series in the Outstanding Comedy Series category without a win. It has been nominated 11 times but has yet to secure a victory. Moreover, Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Steve Martin or Martin Short (Only Murders In The Building) are looking at breaking Eugene Levy's record for the oldest actor to win the Emmy for Lead Actor (Comedy).
