Emmy Nominations: The Bear Just Broke This Record With 23 Nods
NDTV
The show's latest, historic nominations count was for season two of The Bear, which aired last summer
Set in the chaotic world of a top restaurant kitchen, where each chef has their own unique skill set and emotional baggage, The Bear on Wednesday broke the Emmys record with the most nominations for a comedy in a single year. What makes the show's latest haul of 23 nods even more remarkable is that, for many critics, The Bear is barely a comedy at all, dealing with hard-hitting issues from death and mourning to betrayal and emotional abuse. "You find laughter in grief," said Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the actor who won an Emmy at the last gala playing restaurant manager Richie, and is nominated again this time around.
"One of the strengths of the show - and one of the reasons that it's connected with so many people - is I think grief is the river that runs through all of us," he told a press conference before Wednesday's announcement.
The show's latest, historic nominations count was for season two of The Bear, which aired last summer.
