How Many Emmys Will ‘Hacks’ Win?

Hacks, a top HBO Max comedy series, has scooped up 24 Emmy nominations, a new all-time record. Given this impressive feat, the whole internet wants to know how many of these nominations will lead to an actual award.

Interestingly, top prediction market traders are predicting how many awards this exciting show will take home. Hacks aired for five seasons and wrapped up its story on May 28, 2026. On this page, we’ll share all the details about this show, its record-breaking nominations haul, and what top prediction market sites like Kalshi are saying right now.

An Overview of Hacks and Its Nomination Haul

Hacks is a comedy by HBO Max about a Las Vegas legend and a millennial writer who helped bring her career back to life. The show ended after five seasons in grand style.

It garnered 24 Emmy nominations, a record that was held by The Bear and The Studio (23 nominations each). Not only that, this comedy crushed Schitt’s Creek’s mark for the most nominations for a comedy series’ final season (15 nominations).

Some of Hacks’ top nominations include:

• Outstanding comedy series
• Lead actress in a comedy series: Jean Smart as Deborah Vance
• Supporting roles: Hannah Einbinder and Meg Stalter (supporting actress) and Paul W. Downs (supporting actor)
• Guest actress in a comedy series: Leslie Bibb, Cherry Jones, Laurie Metcalf, Kaitlin Olson, and Lauren Weedman

3 Key Factors That Could Make Hacks Win Many Emmys

The Emmy Awards (78th edition) is scheduled to take place on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 8 PM ET at the Peacock Theater, Los Angeles. That night, Hacks will hope to win as many awards as possible from its 24 nominations based on these three key factors.

Jean Smart’s Streak

Jean Smart, the lead actress, has won four Emmys for playing Deborah Vance in the first four seasons of the comedy show. Right now, top prediction market sites like Kalshi place her as the favorite to take home the fifth award.

Farewell Season Energy

If anything, voters enjoy sending a beloved and popular show off with a bang, provided it does justice to its final season or episode. That goodwill helped Schitt’s Creek (won X awards out of 15 noms), and it can also make Hacks receive awards by September.

Sheer Volume of Nominations

More nominations simply means more chances to win. With 24 available for Hacks, there’s a good chance that it finishes the night with several awards.
