Snubs galore.
The TV Academy revealed the 2025 Emmy nominations on Tuesday, with the most nods going to “Severance,” “The Penguin, “The White Lotus” and “The Studio.”
Adam Scott, Kristen Bell, Jean Smart, Colin Farrell, Pedro Pascal, Kathy Bates, Noah Wyle, and Kathryn Hahn are among the nominated actors.
But a number of other performers were snubbed from the nominations list, including “The White Lotus” stars Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola, who made headlines for their turns as the incestuous Ratliff brothers.
Schwarzenegger, 31, was predicted to score a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series leading up to the reveal on Tuesday, but both he and Nivola, 21, were shut out of the category.
Their co-stars Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs and Sam Rockwell were all nominated in the supporting actor drama series category, alongside three “Severance” stars and James Marsden for “Paradise.”
Ironically, Schwarzenegger and Nivola are both nepo babies. Schwarzenegger is the son of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, while Nivola’s parents are Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola.
Schwarzenegger and Nivola’s on-screen sister Sarah Catherine Hook, who played Piper Ratliff, was snubbed as well.
“The White Lotus” ladies Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan also missed out on nominations, but their bestie Carrie Coon scored a nod in the supporting actress drama series category with co-stars Parker Posey, Aimee Lou Wood and Natasha Rothwell.
Despite the multiple snubs, the third season of the HBO hit still racked up 23 nominations.
In the lead actor drama category, Jon Hamm and Diego Luna both missed out on nominations for their respective roles in Apple TV+’s “Your Friends and Neighbors” and Disney+’s “Andor.”
In fact, “Andor” only got one acting nomination, and it was for guest star Forest Whitaker. But the “Star Wars” series did get in for Outstanding Drama Series with seven other shows.
“Your Friends and Neighbors,” “Squid Game,” “1923” “House of the Dragon” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” all missed out in Outstanding Drama Series.
Other drama snubs include Elisabeth Moss for “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Lee Jung-jae for “Squid Game,” Jack Lowden for “Slow Horses,” Dichen Lachman for “Severance,” Helen Mirren for “1923,” Jacob Anderson for “Interview With the Vampire” and Allison Janney for “The Diplomat.”
On the comedy side, “Only Murders in the Building” stars Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Meryl Streep were ignored by Emmy voters this go around, despite all landing noms last year for Season 3.
However, their co-star Martin Short got his fourth-straight acting nomination for the Hulu project.
“Hacks” scene stealers Paul W. Downs and Meg Stalter, “Abbott Elementary” favorite Tyler James Williams, and “Poker Face” lead Natasha Lyonne were also left off the nominations list.
In the limited categories, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” star Nicholas Alexander Chavez failed to join his on-screen brother Cooper Koch and on-screen parents Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as a nominee.
Renée Zellweger got shutout in Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” though the Peacock film did get recognized in the Outstanding Television Movie category.
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will air Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
