    How Apple TV (Ted) Lassoed a Record Number of Emmy Nominations
    2026/07/23
    Apple TV netted a personal best 89 nominations and is the third-most-nominated network at this year's Emmy Awards (behind awards behemoths Netflix and HBO).

Plus, they dig into the Emmys' controversial decision to bump 5 categories from the primetime telecast and the twin Odysseys of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster box office and the WBD/Paramount merger.
