電視藝術科學學院宣布了第 78 屆艾美獎的提名。許多來自 HBO 和 Apple TV+ 的劇集獲得了提名。

Main Body

The show 'The Pitt' has 25 nominations. 'Hacks' has 24 nominations. This is a new record for comedy shows. Apple TV+ also has many nominations for 'Widow’s Bay' and 'Pluribus'.

劇集《The Pitt》獲得 25 項提名。《Hacks》獲得 24 項提名。這是喜劇劇集的新紀錄。Apple TV+ 的《Widow’s Bay》和《Pluribus》也獲得許多提名。

There are new rules this year. In the 'Variety Series' group, many shows can win. The Academy also changed the name 'television movie' to just 'movie'. Some shows did not enter because they aired at the wrong time.

今年有新規則。在「綜藝系列劇」組別中,多個節目可以獲獎。學院還將「電視電影」的名稱簡化為「電影」。部分節目因播出時間不符而未能參賽。

Some famous actors are happy, but others are not. Jeremy Allen White did not get a lead actor nomination. Mariska Hargitay will host the show. This is different because usually a funny person hosts.

有些著名演員感到高興,但有些則不然。Jeremy Allen White 未能獲得男主角提名。Mariska Hargitay 將主持典禮。這與以往不同,因為通常是由搞笑藝人主持。

Conclusion

The Emmy Awards are on September 14. There are 555 programs in the competition.

艾美獎將於 9 月 14 日舉行。共有 555 個節目參賽。

💡 The 'How many' Pattern

Look at these numbers from the text:

  • 25 nominations
  • 24 nominations
  • 555 programs

When we talk about a quantity of things, we use this simple structure: [Number] → [Thing]


🛠️ Changing the Word

Notice how the text describes the awards:

  • Television movieMovie

In English, if a word is too long or specific, we often use a shorter word to mean the same thing. This makes your speaking more natural.


⚖️ Comparing Feelings

"Some famous actors are happy, but others are not."

Use BUT to connect two opposite ideas:

  • Idea A: Happy 😊
  • BUT
  • Idea B: Not happy ☹️

Example: I like the show, but I do not like the actor.
