From the ongoing strength of The White Lotus , continuing to dominate the acting categories, to buzzy new shows like The Pitt , Rich and we look at how and why certain shows remain strong in the minds of Emmy voters, why The Bear fell dramatically, and talk about some of the biggest snubs and surprises of the day.
