Emmys 2026: Hargitay to host as The Pitt and Hacks lead the pack

BBC’s live coverage of the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles highlights Mariska Hargitay as the first woman to host in 15 years, with The Pitt leading nominations (25) and Hacks close behind (24). The ceremony introduces format changes by merging best talk series and best scripted variety into Outstanding Variety Series, moving some acting categories to Creative Arts, and reducing total trophies from 26 to 19 to allow more performances and moments. Red carpet starts around 15:00 local time (18:00 ET) ahead of the main show at 20:00 ET, as British nominations appear but the UK isn’t dominating as in some past years.

Minecraft on the SNES: A Playable Port on Classic Hardware

Hackaday reports on porting a basic Minecraft build to the SNES’s stock hardware (no add-on chips like the Super FX). Building on an earlier Game Boy Color version, the SNES port shows a serviceable Minecraft experience with higher resolution than the GBC, though still sprite-based. The piece notes that adding 3D accelerators could enable true polygons, and mentions an downloadable SFC file with a starting world illustrating block destruction and construction. The story highlights the SNES’s surprising potential for retro hardware hacks and invites speculation about future enhancements with accelerator chips.
