The Academy described this as the record for the most wins by a comedy series in a single year. The previous record was 13 wins by 《The Studio》 in 2025. Production Overviews and Points to Watch The winning categories show which elements of each production were recognized. 《Widow's Bay》 is a comedy horror series set in an island community. Season 2 of 《The Pitt》 follows a summer day in a Pittsburgh emergency room. The production overviews are based on the Academy's recap article. Production What the results highlight Widow's Bay Wins across program, acting, directing, and writing The Pitt Outstanding Drama Series and Noah Wyle's lead actor award Pluribus Rhea Seehorn's acting and Vince Gilligan's writing DTF St. Louis The connection among its program, supporting acting, directing, and writing awards Matthew Rhys set a record by winning two lead acting awards in the same year. Jean Smart and Allison Janney each reached a career total of 8 acting awards. Separately, Michael J. Fox received the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award. These records are specified in the Academy's recap. Why Production and Individual Win Totals Differ Production totals and individual totals should not be added together. Multiple producers are jointly listed for a program award. One person may also win separately as an actor and a producer. Example from the official count Figure Meaning Widow's Bay production total 14 Number of winning categories for the production Matthew Rhys individual total 3 Number of individual wins, including as an actor and executive producer Matthew Rhys lead acting total 2 Number of acting awards received for two productions The official PDF provides separate counts for productions and individuals. Therefore, “Matthew Rhys's 2 lead acting awards” and “3 individual wins” are both correct records. When citing a record, the counting basis, whether production, individual, or acting award, must be stated.
