The 2024 Emmy nominations have been revealed, and they gave us a few pretty definitive winners. The FX series Shōgun led all nominated shows with 25 nominations, including nominations for lead actors Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai. Shōgun was met with widespread acclaim when it debuted earlier this year, and while it debuted as a limited series, it was quickly announced that the show would be coming back for a second season.

In addition to the nominations for the show’s two leads, it also got double supporting actor nominations for Tadanobu Asano and Takehiro Hira, as well as a variety of technical nominations including Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Directing.

On the comedy side of the ledger, the day’s big winner was The Bear, which broke a record for number of nominations by a comedy series, recording 23 on the day. Of course, there’s long been a debate about whether The Bear is even a comedy to begin with (Slow Horses, which was categorized as a drama, is almost undoubtedly funnier). Only Murders in the Building trailed just behind it with 21 nominations, and because of the lingering effects of the writers and actors strikes, fewer shows were submitted this year than in the past. As a result, fewer shows earned more nominations, and some categories even reduced their overall number of slots.

Another year, another March without any federal holidays. Thankfully, that void is filled by the NCAA tournament otherwise known as March Madness. Filling our brackets is an annual tradition for many, even if they don't follow college basketball closely, and the tournament's ultimately outcome is often incredibly surprising.

If you're looking for ways to watch the tournament yourself, though, we've got you covered. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch March Madness:
Paramount+
CBS and Turner Sports own the broadcast rights to all the men's games. Naturally, that means you can watch all of the men's games that air on CBS on Paramount+ as well. That will include plenty of games in the rounds of 64 and 32, as well as the Sweet 16 and the Elite Eight. CBS is also the home for the Final Four and the championship game, which means that you'll only be able to stream those games on Paramount+.
