Emmy Awards - The Bear sets a record in the Comedy domain
The nominations for the 76th Emmy Awards are set. The award ceremony, which takes place this year on September 15, has seen "The Bear: King of the Kitchen" from FX emerge as one of the favorites. With a total of 23 nominations, the comedy program has made history, breaking a record set by "30 Rock" in 2009. The NBC show created by Tina Fey (54) had 22 nominations in the Comedy category at the time.
In the Drama Series category, however, "Shogun" takes the lead. The FX program has a total of 25 nominations, including in the top category "Best Drama Series." Both "The Bear" and "Shogun" are available to stream in Germany on Disney+.
