How the competition is shaping up at Sundays EmmysThe Studio, with co-creator Seth Rogen starring as the new head of a movie studio, comes into the evening with blockbuster buzz for its breakout first season.It tied a record for a comedy with 23 nominations, and with nine Emmys already won at last weekends Creative Arts ceremony. It would be a major surprise if it did not break the record of 11 Emmy wins in a season by a comedy.It could win as many as 15, and Rogen himself could win four times, as an actor, a writer a director and an executive producer.The Bear and Hacks which have dominated the comedy Emmys in recent years, are both again up for best comedy series but suddenly find themselves underdogs.Severance, the Orwellian office drama about people who surgically split their psyches into workplace innies and home outies, was the top overall nominee with 27 nominations for its second season. It won six at the Creative Arts ceremony. Along with best drama which would be a first for Apple its nominated in all four dramatic acting categories, with stars Adam Scott and Britt Lower each looking for their first Emmys.Its top competition for best drama could be The Pitt, HBOs acclaimed drama about one shift in the life of an emergency room.Its star Noah Wyle could be both the sentimental favorite and the actual favorite for best actor. He was nominated five times without a win for playing a young doctor on ER in the 1990s, and now could finally take his trophy for what is in many ways a reprise of the role.HBOs prestige resort soap The White Lotus could also be in the mix for best drama its Thailand-set third season and has three nominees apiece in each of the drama supporting acting categories.Older women could shine in actress categoriesIt could be an unprecedented night of Hollywood recognition for older women in an industry known for discarding female actors.Oscar-winner Kathy Bates at 78 could become the oldest winner ever in the best actress in a drama category for playing the title role in CBS Matlock.
