After weeks and weeks of FYC promotions, the 2025 Emmy Award nominations were revealed this week, and reactions have ranged from Kristen Bell’s pants-free cartwheels to star-studded text threads. Someone who took a humbled approach to the announcements was Noah Wyle, star of the hit freshman drama The Pitt, which earned a whopping 13 nominations between its on-screen cast and its behind-the-scenes talents.
Of course, Wyle is no stranger to garnering awards buzz, having earned 5 noms for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama for his excellent work as up-and-coming surgeon Dr. John Carter on ER. On his newest series, available to stream with an HBO Max subscription, Wyle plays the senior attending physician, and when asked by the L.A. Times what he did after learning the news, he answered in a way that speaks to his current status as the vet everyone looks up to on the set. In his words:
I looked at that list of nominees that I’m in the company of, and I send my congratulations to all of them. It’s incredibly gratifying and humbling to be included in their company. I’m going to celebrate quietly with my family and come back to work tomorrow.
upcoming awards shows, the 77th annual Emmy Awards airs on CBS on Sunday, September 14, at 8:00 p.m. ET. But I don’t want to know what Noah Wyle is capable of doing with a scalpel if the show doesn’t win anything.
