2025 Emmy Awards calendar: Key dates for voting periods, nominations announcements, and more
The Television Academy has released the first part of its 2025 Emmy Awards calendar, which included key dates for membership deadlines, voting periods, and nominations announcements. However, specific dates for the 77th Emmys ceremony on CBS and the two Creative Arts galas have not yet been disclosed and will be revealed later.
As a refresher, last year’s major Emmy winners were “Hacks” for Best Comedy Series, “Shōgun” for Best Drama Series, and “Baby Reindeer” for Best Limited Series/TV Movie. “Shōgun” set a new overall record with 18 wins in a single season, while “The Bear” set a new comedy record with 11 wins in a single season.
Hot new TV shows to watch out for this time around include Netflix’s romantic comedy “Nobody Wants This,” Peacock’s political drama “The Day of the Jackal,” and HBO’s comic-book fave “The Penguin.” All three of these newbies received major nominations this week at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.
