Casey Bloys, head of HBO programming, discusses HBO and HBO Max’s performance at the Emmys following a major nominations tally reported by multiple outlets. Bloys took over HBO programming in February 2016, and the outlets note his team has accumulated 1,208 Emmy nominations and 276 wins during his tenure. For this year’s Emmy nominations, HBO and HBO Max receive 122 nominations, described as a record haul for the platform. Both outlets highlight strong showings for “Hacks” and “The Pitt,” with “Hacks” receiving a large number of nominations and “The Pitt” also leading with a high count, including reports of 24 and 25 nominations for the respective series. The coverage frames the announcement as both a milestone and part of an uncertain period, including questions about future leadership and industry dynamics. Alongside the Emmy results, Variety also addresses whether Bloys has regrets about industry relationships and his prospects after HBO’s ownership changes, while Deadline focuses more directly on the scale and impact of the nominations.
