ABC, CNN, NBC and Oscar-shortlisted documentary 2000 Meters to Andriivka are among the nominees in top categories for the 2026 News and Documentary Emmy Awards.
The best live news program category features two nominations from ABC News (World News Tonight With David Muir and Good Morning America), two from CNN (Anderson Cooper 360 and The Lead With Jake Tapper) and two from NBC News (NBC Nightly News With Tom Llamas and the Today show).
“The brave storytellers represented in this year’s class of nominees reflect the courage and integrity needed to communicate today’s breaking stories to audiences around the world,” News Emmys boss Amy Schmelzer said in part in a statement.
In the best documentary category, the nominees are Black Snow, Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time, Life After, Love + War, 2000 Meters to Andriivka, Prime Minister, Turning Point: The Vietnam War and Union.
“This year’s documentary nominees represent an extraordinary range of storytelling, from deeply personal narratives to sweeping historical examinations,” Documentary Emmys head Christine Chin said in a statement. “These films challenge perspectives, elevate underrepresented voices, and demonstrate the power of documentary filmmaking to inform, engage, and inspire audiences worldwide.”
National Geographic leads this year’s nominations with a total of 51 nods, followed by ABC News with 45 nods.
This year’s News and Documentary Emmy Awards nominations were selected from more than 2,000 submissions that premiered in 2025 and were judged by more than 900 peer professionals from across the TV and digital media news and documentary industry.
“This year’s nominees represent a dynamic range of voices and perspectives shaping the future of news and documentary storytelling,” NATAS president and CEO Adam Sharp said in a statement. “At a time of constant transformation, their work deepens public understanding and brings critical stories to audiences with urgency and insight.”
The 47th annual News and Documentary Emmys are set to be presented in two ceremonies on back-to-back nights in New York: The news winners will be revealed on Wednesday, May 27, and the documentary winners will be revealed on Thursday, May 28. Both ceremonies will take place at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall and be streamed live on the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ website and The Emmys apps.
A complete list of this year’s News and Documentary Emmy Awards nominations follow.
