The 2025 Emmy nominations have shaken up the major categories, with many acclaimed shows and performers earning their first-ever nods. Despite the continued dominance of popular titles like "Severance," "The Penguin," and "The Studio," the nominations have brought a fresh wave of talent to the forefront.
Breakout performances from actors in "Severance," "The Studio," and "The White Lotus" have resulted in 33 first-time Emmy nominees this year. Standouts include Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, and Zach Cherry from "Severance," as well as Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Mackie, and Zoë Kravitz from "The Studio." "The White Lotus" also saw several newcomers recognized, including Jason Isaacs, Aimee Lou Wood, and Scott Glenn.
One of the most notable first-time nominees is 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who received a nod for outstanding supporting actor for his work in "Adolescence." If he wins, he will become the youngest-ever recipient in that category. The show's creator, Stephen Graham, is also a first-time nominee, facing off against Colin Farrell for "The Penguin" in the lead actor in a limited series category.
