Widow’s Bay Leads Apple’s Emmy Success

Widow’s Bay secured awards across acting and major production categories. Betty Gilpin won Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy. The series also earned honors for casting, cinematography, production design, music composition, music supervision, sound editing and sound mixing.

Meanwhile, Pluribus collected four awards. Its victories covered production design, picture editing, main title theme music and sound mixing.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles added another three wins. The series earned recognition for contemporary costumes, hairstyling and non-prosthetic makeup.

Palm Royale and Mr. Scorsese Add More Wins

Apple also found success with Palm Royale. The series claimed three awards, including choreography, period costumes and period or fantasy/sci-fi makeup.

In addition, Mr. Scorsese won Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series. These programming victories brought Apple TV’s show-related total to 19 Emmys.

However, Apple’s final award came from outside its entertainment lineup. The company’s accessibility-focused “I’m Not Remarkable” campaign won Outstanding Commercial, lifting the overall total to 20.

More Emmy Opportunities Remain

The 2026 awards season has already set a new benchmark for Apple. The company received 89 Emmy nominations across 15 programs, marking its strongest showing to date.

Moreover, Apple still has opportunities to add to its total. Programs including Shrinking, Slow Horses and Your Friends & Neighbors remain among its additional nominees ahead of the September 14 ceremony.
