Women's Media Center 2024 Report: Gender & Non-Acting Emmy Nominations

The year 2024 marks an unusual situation of two Primetime Emmy Awards ceremonies taking place in the same year. But when it comes to progress for women nominees in non-acting categories, it’s business as usual for the Primetime Emmys: The total percentage of women who got nominations in non-acting categories has continued to stall at below 40% every year.

For the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards, the total proportion of women nominees in non-acting categories increased slightly: 34% of the non-acting nominees are women, compared to 33%for the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards. For the 2024 Awards, 2,561 people have been nominated in 102 non-acting categories. Of these nominees, 863 (34%) are women, 1,694 (66%) are men, and four (less than 1%) are nonbinary. These percentages are not much different from those for the 2023 Emmy Awards, where out of the 2,497 people who were nominated in the 98 non-acting categories, 828 (33%) were women, 1,665 (67%) were men, and four (less than 1%)were nonbinary people.
