The 75th Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced July 12 and 蘑菇Av alumni made an impressive showing across 11 categories, racking up a total of 22 nominations.听

Alumnus Noah Mitz(opens in new window) received four nominations for his work in lighting design and lighting direction. Other CMU nominees include production designers Alana Billingsley and Jessica Kender; art directors Brian Grego, Kristen Merlino and John Zuiker; and actors Anthony Carrigan, James Cromwell, Cherry Jones and Judith Light. 鈥淭he Last of Us,鈥� created by CMU alumnus Neil Druckmann(opens in new window), received a whopping 24 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.

The announcement came at a tense time for the film and television industry amid the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike and the newly announced SAG-AFTRA strike. This marks the first time since 1960 that writers and actors are on strike together, effectively shutting down Hollywood.

Earlier this year, the 50th Daytime Emmy nominations were announced with three CMU alumni nominated for a total of four awards. The Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony, originally scheduled for June 16, 2023, has been postponed due to the strike.

The Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is currently scheduled to take place Sept. 18, 2023, with the Creative Arts ceremonies set for Sept. 9-10; however, they will likely be impacted by the strike and may be delayed pending a resolution.听
