This season truly had something for everyone – from innovative comedies and gripping dramas, to immersive documentaries and refreshingly cerebral storytelling set in a galaxy far, far away. I am eager to see which stars and series out members have chosen to honor when the winners are revealed.”
Some shows which were nominated or previously won their category were also nominated again. Critically acclaimed shows such as ABC’s Abbott Elementary and HBO’s Barry and The White Lotus.
