NEW YORK -- What do some frustrated chefs, passionate teachers, true crime-obsessed neighbors, and Truman Capote's so-called swans have in common? They are all part of the Emmy class of 2024.

Celebrating the best of the small screen in a big way, this year's ceremony is shaping up to be a night of firsts and fierce competition.

Leading the pack with a staggering 25 nominations is the historical and highly praised drama, "Shogun."

Entertainment reporter Joelle Garguilo sat down with Fandango's Managing Director Erik Davis to discuss who will be most likely to take home the gold in the upcoming award ceremony.

FULL LIST: Here are the nominees for the 76th Emmy Awards

"I'd say Shogun should win and Shogun will win," Davis says. "It's hard to not bet against the show that has 25 nominations."

As for the comedy category, all eyes are on "The Bear," with the Academy saying, "Yes, chef!" a season record-breaking 23 times.

"It's really interesting, we have Abbot Elementary, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building -- all of these shows that have gotten 99% on Rotten Tomatoes going up against one-another," Davis said. "I personally think it's The Bear's Emmy to lose. I love season 2 personally, I think its gonna clean house."
