Greetings from Variety Awards Headquarters! Today is June 8, 2026, which means it’s 3 days until nominations-round voting begins on June 11; 14 days until nominations-round voting ends on June 22 at 10 p.m.; and 30 days until Emmy nominations are announced on July 8. And looking far ahead, it’s 98 days until the 78th Emmy Awards on Sept. 14 on NBC.And here we are, FYC season wraps up on Thursday as voting begins — although there will still be a few unofficial panels, events and freebies in the days after that, and I still have quite a few fun podcasts to post in these last two weeks. So now, get busy on finishing up those episodes and start voting!And let’s get going!
