\n\tThe show\u2019s final season, however, surpassed all of its predecessors \u2014\u00a0and every other comedy series in Emmy Awards history \u2014 with a record 24 nominations (or 25, including one for the short-form series Hacks: Bit by Bit<\/em>). Hacks<\/em> broke the record of 23 comedy series nominations previously set by The Studio<\/em> in 2025 and The Bear<\/em> in 2024.<\/p>\n

\nHacks<\/em> creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky used the word \u201coverwhelming\u201d to describe their feelings after learning their show had broken and Emmy nominations record Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s obviously our last go round for the Emmys, so it feels like such an incredible way to end,\u201d Downs told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cThe fact that so many of [the cast and crew] are being recognized, and for the first time for many of them, just feels incredibly gratifying. Because we could not have made this show without any of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show\u2019s first-time nominees include Megan Stalter for best supporting actress in a comedy; recurring player Lauren Weedman and guest star Leslie Bibb for best guest actress in a comedy; and makeup artists Brittany White, Erin Blinn and Veronica Rodarte (along with repeat nominee Keith Sayer). Hacks also received its first nomination for best original music and lyrics for Carlos Rafael Rivera and David Stal.<\/p>\n

\n\tAniello, Downs and Statsky also earned a writing nomination for the series finale (also titled \u201cHacks\u201d) and share in the show\u2019s best comedy series nomination. Downs was also nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy for his on-screen role as manager Jimmy Lusaque Jr., and Aniello earned a directing nod for the finale.<\/p>\n

\n\tDowns also noted that \u201cit\u2019s been really hard to say goodbye to the show and the people we have made it with for five seasons, who we love so much.\u201d With a two-month run-up to the awards, the cast and crew are going to be together some more.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt does feel, honestly, that kind of the most exciting part of this whole thing is that we know are going to be able to see them,\u201d Downs said. \u201cWe have scheduled time to see them and celebrate them and \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
