FX Garners Most Emmy Nominations in Its History Helped by ‘Shogun’ and ‘The Bear’
variety.comClayton Davis Senior Awards Editor FX is killing it! The top two most nominated series this year came from FX Networks: the dramatic epic “Shōgun” and the comedy series “The Bear,” in addition to two of its network counterparts, “Reservation Dogs” and “What We Do in the Shadows.” Along with noms for limited series “Fargo” and a strong showing in various artisan races for “Feud: Capote vs.
The Swans” and “Welcome to Wrexham.” These contributed to FX’s robust number of nominations across all categories, landing 93 nominations, breaking its record of 56 in 2016 when it had the eventual limited series winner, “The People v.
O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.” This year, the basic cable channel is competitive across all three major series categories at the Emmys.
