The Pitt dominated nominations in drama but lost several major acting prizes, while Sally Field’s upset win for Remarkably Bright Creatures marked a rare performance‑in‑a‑movie win in the limited/anthology category. In the revamped variety category, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was the sole winner, prompting questions about whether any nominee reached the 90% “Yes” threshold and signaling a quirky, area‑award dynamic this year.
