Emmys: The Most-Watched Show, Actor and Actress Nominees
Nielsen released a ranking of the most-watched 2024 Emmys nominees by TV show, actor and actress.
But Nielsen’s point in releasing the rankings was reveal to show which awards contenders could give marketers the biggest reach, by providing insight into “how audiences are voting with their time,” the company said. However, for the actor and actress categories, the rankings include any titles (both movies and series) in which the performer appeared as “a top-billed cast member.” For example, that means that the total for Goggins included not only viewing of “Fallout” but also other shows he starred in, like HBO’s “Righteous Gemstones” and FX’s “Justified.” White, meanwhile, got credit for “The Bear” and also for 2023 film “The Iron Claw” and his turn as the eldest Gallagher brother in Showtime’s “Shameless” — and Aniston had a huge benefit from “Friends” viewing on Max. That methodology favors actors who happened to appear in other popular shows and movies during the Emmys eligibility time period, but perhaps it’s the best proxy possible for gauging the most-watched nominees in the acting categories.
