Seth Rogen’s Historic Emmy Bid for ‘The Studio’

Seth Rogen is the frontrunner to win multiple Emmys for ‘The Studio’, potentially requiring a mantelpiece as his plus-one.
Seth Rogen Poised for Emmy History with Four Wins for ‘The Studio’
Seth Rogen is the frontrunner to win multiple Emmys for The Studio, potentially requiring a mantelpiece as his plus-one.
2025 Emmy Predictions
According to Gold Derby’s predictions for the 2025 Emmys, Rogen is leading the pack for Best Comedy Series (as a producer), Best Comedy Actor (for his role as Matt Remick, the new head of Continental Studios), and Best Comedy Directing (for “The Oner”). Additionally, he is a runner-up for Best Comedy Writing (for “The Promotion”), trailing only the Hacks showrunning trio of Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky (for “A Slippery Slope”).
Potential Historic Wins
If Rogen secures all four awards, he would become the first individual in Emmy history to achieve this feat in a single year. In 2020, Daniel Levy won three of the four for Schitt’s Creek, but his acting award was for supporting, not lead.
Notable Emmy Achievements
To date, Levy is one of only three individuals to have won four Emmys in a single season, alongside Amy Sherman-Palladino for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in 2018 and Moira Demos for Making a Murderer in 2016.
Rogen’s Emmy Journey
Before this year, Rogen had received five Emmy nominations throughout his career for writing Da Ali G Show (2005), acting in Pam & Tommy (2022), and producing The Boys (2021), The Boys Presents: Diabolical (2022), and Pam & Tommy. He has yet to win.
About ‘The Studio’
The Studio is Rogen and Evan Goldberg‘s satirical Apple TV+ comedy that explores the behind-the-scenes antics of a fictional Hollywood studio, covering everything from film promotions to executive notes, casting drama, and awards show attendance. The series has garnered a record 23 Emmy nominations, the most ever for a first-year comedy, surpassing Apple’s own record from 2021 with Ted Lasso’s 20 nominations.

Supporting and Guest Nominations
In addition to Rogen’s nominations for producing, acting, directing, and writing, The Studio has also been recognized for supporting actors Ike Barinholtz (as Sal Saperstein), Kathryn Hahn (as Maya Mason), and Catherine O’Hara (as Patty Leigh), as well as guest stars Bryan Cranston (as Griffin Mill) and notable personalities like Dave Franco, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, Martin Scorsese, and Zoë Kravitz. The comedy has also received nominations for various technical categories including casting, cinematography, and sound editing.
Historical Context of Nominations
The last individual to receive nominations in Rogen’s four specific categories was Bill Hader for Barry in 2023. Hader achieved this across all four seasons, accumulating 16 nominations and winning the acting award twice.
Conclusion
Winning four awards in a single ceremony is certainly trending this year. In March, Anora filmmaker Sean Baker won four Oscars for Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, and Film Editing, with his viral photo juggling the trophies.
Seth Rogen has about six weeks to perfect his trophy-holding skills. However, it’s worth noting that Emmys can be more perilous than Oscars due to their sharp wings. Good luck, Seth!
