Fallout, a TV adaptation of the popular post-apocalyptic video game series, was released on Amazon Prime this past April. Video game adaptations can be a bit of a mixed bag sometimes, but in this case, fans and critics alike (us included) loved its characters, world-building, and its overall take on the Fallout universe. It should come as no surprise, then, that the show has been nominated in numerous categories at the 2024 Emmy Awards.
Fallout was nominated in 16 categories, but two of them are particularly exciting. First, the show is one of eight nominees for Outstanding Drama Series, ranking it among other big shows of 2024, like Shōgun, which currently leads the pack with 25 nominations. Secondly, Walton Goggins was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series for his portrayal of The Ghoul. This is his second Emmy nomination – the first being for Supporting Actor on the show Justified back in 2011.
Here’s a full list of the show’s nominations:
Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes
Outstanding Stunt Coordination For Drama Programming
Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Period Or Fantasy Program (One Hour Or More)
Outstanding Picture Editing For A Drama Series

Last year’s Emmy Awards had video game representation as well, with HBO’s The Last of Us, which earned a total of eight awards. Whether or not Fallout manages to reach that level of prestige, it’s already been renewed for a season 2, so fans of the series can look forward to a return to the wasteland sometime soon.
