'The Pitt' and 'Hacks' arrive with 25 nominations and 24. Will 'The Pitt' win more trophies at the Sept 14 telecast?
85% of users predicted YES — the community got this one right. 13 predictions cast.
"The Pitt" won more total Emmy trophies than "Hacks" at the Sept. 14, 2026 ceremony, even though the two shows arrived with a close nomination count, 25 for "The Pitt" and 24 for "Hacks." HBO Max credited "The Pitt" with six wins, including Outstanding Drama Series and Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Noah Wyle, both repeat victories from the previous year.
"Hacks," by contrast, lost the night's marquee prize, Outstanding Comedy Series, to Apple TV's "Widow's Bay," leaving Jean Smart's fifth consecutive Lead Actress in a Comedy Series win as the show's headline trophy from its final season. "The Pitt" was shut out only in the supporting actor drama category, where it had fielded three of the seven nominees but lost to Tom Pelphrey of "Task."
The comparison underscored how nomination totals do not always predict trophy hauls: "The Pitt" converted its nominations more efficiently across major categories, while "Hacks," despite a record nomination count for a final comedy season, saw much of its ensemble recognition offset by "Widow's Bay"'s sweep of the top comedy prizes.
The Predict Six community had set high odds, 85% yes, on "The Pitt" prevailing, and the outcome matched that expectation.
