“The Pitt” and “Hacks” earned their stay this year on HBO Max. The combined drama and comedy series earned about 40% of the Emmy nominations earned by HBO and its streaming sibling HBO Max in a field that includes a number of surprise contenders and changes in key categories.

“The Pitt” led the pack with 25 nominations, as befits the reigning Emmy drama series champion. “Hacks” even garnered two dozen bids for the farewell season from Deborah Vance and Co. HBO’s tally was also bolstered by its new David Harbor drama “DTF St. Louis,” which earned 13 mentions.

Netflix came in second behind HBO Max, in a repeat of last year’s nomination rankings. The streamer’s anthology franchise “Beef” made a big impact with its second installment, with 16 nominations in the main categories. The limited series “The Beast in Me” took nine. The final season of “Stranger Things” earned seven nominations, as did the Jason Bateman-Jude Law vehicle “Black Rabbit,” the returning drama series “The Diplomat” and the latest installment of the “Monster” franchise, “The Ed Gein Story.”

Apple TV had its best performance this year with 89 nominations, thanks in large part to two lively freshman series: the lurid dramedy “Widow’s Bay” (which is competing in the comedy playoffs), with 19, and the Rhea Seehorn-Vince Gilligan tour de force “Pluribus,” with 18.

Among major studio groups, Walt Disney Co. earned 125 nominations across its many platforms, from Hulu to ABC to National Geographic TV. ABC’s Oscar telecast earned nine nominations, followed by FX’s “The Bear” with eight and seven each, ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” FX’s “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette” and “Paradise.”
