US medical drama The Pitt and comedy Hacks lead the nominations for this year’s Emmy Awards, America’s most coveted TV honours.
The Pitt has received 25 nominations in total, closely followed by the final season of Hacks with 24.
British stars in the running include Matthew Rhys – the only person to be nominated for two lead acting awards (for Widow’s Bay and The Beast In Me). There are also nominations for compatriots Riz Ahmed (Bait), Carey Mulligan (Beef), Gary Oldman (Slow Horses) and Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat).
However, there was no room on the best drama shortlist of the 78th Emmy Awards for the final seasons of hit shows Stranger Things or Euphoria.
