The 2025 Emmy nominations yielded both expected and unexpected results. While shows like 'The Last of Us' secured nominations for its lead actors, despite a less-than-stellar second season reception, several high-profile actors and shows were snubbed. Notable snubs include Elisabeth Moss for 'The Handmaid’s Tale', 'White Lotus' actors, and the casts of 'Agatha All Along', 'Yellowjackets', and 'Andor'. Surprises included nominations for Uzo Aduba ('The Residence'), despite the show's cancellation, and Meghann Fahy for 'Sirens'. The lack of nominations for Seth Meyers' anti-Trump comedy and 'The Voice' also stood out.
