Canadian Seth Rogen's The Studio leads comedy noms for Primetime Emmys. Here's who's vying for TV's top prize

Canadian Seth Rogen nabbed three major nominations as the 77th Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Rogen created the Apple TV+ comedy The Studio, which was among the nominees for outstanding comedy series along with Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking and What We Do In the Shadows.

Rogen was personally nominated for outstanding performance in a comedy series. His fellow nominees include Canadian Martin Short for Only Murders in the Building, Adam Brody for Nobody Wants This, Jason Segel in Shrinking and Jeremy Allen White in The Bear.

He is also nominated in the directing and writing for a comedy series categories.

The Studio led the comedy categories with 23 nominations in total, besting the record for a new comedy series, which was set by another Apple TV+ show — Ted Lasso, with 20 nominations in its first season in 2021.

Rogen's co-stars Kathryn Hahn and Canadian actress Catherine O'Hara were nominated for in the supporting actress in a comedy series category, while Ike Barinholtz was nominated in the supporting actor category. The Studio also claimed nominations for several guest performances — including first acting nomination for film director Martin Scorsese, playing himself.

The outstanding lead actress in a comedy series nominations included Uzo Aduba for the recently cancelled Netflix series The Residence, first-time nominee Kristen Bell in Nobody Wants This, previous winner Quinta Brunson in Abbott Elementary, Ayo Edebiri in The Bear and last year's winner Jean Smart for Hacks.

Apple TV+ also led the way in the drama categories with the series Severance collecting 27 nominations, including outstanding drama series and for lead actor and actress Adam Scott and Britt Lower, respectively.

Severance will face off in the outstanding drama series category against Andor (Disney+), The Diplomat (Netflix), The Last of Us (HBO/HBO Max), Paradise (Hulu), The Pitt (HBO Max), Slow Horses (Apple TV+) and The White Lotus (HBO/HBO Max).

The White Lotus earned 23 nominations across various categories for its third season, seven of which were in the supporting actress and actor in a drama series categories.

Stars Carrie Coon, Natasha Rothwell, Aimee Lou Wood and Parker Posey — a fan favourite for her portrayal of lorazepam-loving mom Victoria Ratliff, with some of the most meme-able lines of the show — will compete against each other, as well as Patricia Arquette in Severance, Katherine LaNasa in The Pitt and Julianne Nicholson in Paradise.

Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs and Sam Rockwell are nominated for their performances in The White Lotus. They are nominated alongside James Marsden for Paradise and Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman and John Turturro, all for Severance.

The nominees for outstanding talk series are The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The Amazing Race, RuPaul's Drag Race, Survivor, Top Chef and The Traitors are nominated for outstanding reality/competition series.

Both of those categories were announced earlier in the day on CBS Mornings.

CBS will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 14, with comedian Nate Bargatze slated to host.
