- The Television Academy nominated Sir David Attenborough in the Outstanding Narrator category for two films, A Gorilla Story for Netflix and Ocean with David Attenborough for National Geographic.
- The nominations, announced in early July, make Attenborough the oldest person ever nominated for a Primetime Emmy at age 100, surpassing Norman Lear’s prior record.
- Winners for Outstanding Narrator and related documentary categories will be revealed at the Creative Arts Emmys on September 5–6 at the Peacock Theater, with the main Primetime telecast on September 14.
