2025 Gold Derby TV Awards: Complete list of nominations

The 22nd Gold Derby TV Awards nominations were announced on Monday, July 14, on the eve of Emmy nominations for the 2024-25 television season. Almost 4,500 registered Gold Derby users cast their votes in 30 categories covering dramas, comedies, movies, limited series, and variety. Scroll down for our complete list of nominees in all categories, and vote right now for the winners here in our predictions center. Winner voting will go through Aug. 3. Winners will be announced on Aug. 18.

Apple TV+ leads all studios with the most nominations for both drama and comedy series. Severance and The Studio are out front with 11 bids each, followed by nine for Abbott Elementary and nine for Hacks, both contending in many comedy categories. Up next with eight each are drama contenders The Pitt, Squid Game, and The White Lotus.

Gold Derby offers three categories not provided by the Television Academy and the Emmy Awards. The nominees for Performer of the Year are Kathryn Hahn, Cristin Milioti, Catherine O’Hara, Adam Scott, Jean Smart, and Noah Wyle (not tied to any particular show and not included as part of the nominee totals for each series). That same fact goes for Breakthrough Performer of the Year, which has the following nominees: Owen Cooper, Taylor Dearden, Cooper Koch, Isabela Merced, Benito Skinner, and Chase Sui Wonders. And the contenders for Ensemble of the Year (any genre) are: Abbott Elementary, Adolescence, The Pitt, Severance, Squid Game, and The White Lotus.

Voting commences effective immediately and will be conducted through a plurality vote in most categories. That means you'll just select one nominee from each category as your favorite, and whoever has the most votes wins. But in the Best Comedy, Best Drama, and Best Limited Series races you'll be able to rank your top three in order of preference. Your number-one choice will get three points, your second choice gets two points and your third choice gets one point.

To vote, you must have an account with Gold Derby, but don't worry, registration is easy and totally free. Just visit our sign-up page and connect with Facebook, Google, X (Twitter), Apple, or an email address of your choosing. Once you're in, feel free to vote right away in our predictions center because you can come back and edit your ballot as often as you like if you change your mind or catch up on more of the nominees. No votes are final until voting closes at the end of Aug. 3. So which shows are your favorites? See the nominees below, then vote.
