This year's Emmy Awards nominations have been dominated by characters who are trying to get by in difficult times. Many of the frontrunners feature regular people with good intentions struggling to survive. Shows like "The Pitt" and "Widow's Bay" showcase characters navigating challenging situations, including trauma and forces beyond their control.

The nominations mark a shift from previous years, which often featured stories of antiheroes. This year's nominees instead focus on everyday people trying to make a difference.
