The 2024 Emmy nominations continue a banner year for Amazon MGM Studios.

The film, which was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, is based on the 2001 novel Erasure by Percival Everett. Wright and Sterling K. Brown were nominated for acting categories in lead and supporting role, respectively. The film also received a nomination for Best Original Score. In January, Amazon MGM Studios also had its biggest showing ever at the Golden Globe Awards with 16 nominations.
