Emmys 2024: Blue Eye Samurai, The Simpsons and More Nominated for Best Animated Series

As a longtime animation fan with a deep appreciation for the art form and its evolution over the years, I am thrilled to see the Emmy Awards recognize some fresh faces in the Best Animated Series category this year. Having grown up watching classics like The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers, it’s exciting to see new franchises like Blue Eye Samurai and X-Men ’97 make their debut in this prestigious award show.


As a passionate gamer and animation enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! The nominees for the 2024 Emmy Awards in the Best Animated Series category have been revealed, and I can hardly contain my excitement. Newcomers like “Blue Eye Samurai” have joined the ranks, adding fresh energy to this category. But it’s not just about newbies – long-standing favorites, such as “The Simpsons,” remain strong contenders.

At the upcoming Emmy Awards on September 15th, the organization has revealed the nominations for shows competing in various categories, including Outstanding Animated Program. This category promises an exciting competition with familiar faces like “The Simpsons” and “Bob’s Burgers,” who are often nominated, joined by fresh contenders such as “Blue Eye Samurai” and “X-Men ’97.” Here’s a brief look at the nominees:

The nominees for the Outstanding Animated Program Emmy Award for the year include:

  • Blue Eye Samurai – “The Tale of the Ronin and the Bride”
  • Bob’s Burgers – “The Amazing Rudy”
  • Scavengers Reign – “The Signal”
  • The Simpsons – “Night of the Living Wage”
  • X-Men ’97 – “Remember It”

In this list, the outstanding entries are clearly the fresh introductions – “Blue Eye Samurai” (with its fifth episode, widely regarded as exceptional for the entire first season), “X-Men ’97” (recognized for the viral episode marked by several significant deaths), and “Scavengers Reign” (nominated following its transition from Max to Netflix after being canceled). However, it’s essential to note that shows like “Bob’s Burgers” and “The Simpsons” are not lagging behind in this category.

As a longtime fan of animated sitcoms, I’ve been following the Emmy Awards eagerly every year to see which shows get recognized for their exceptional storytelling and humor. Having grown up with classics like The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia whenever I hear about new episodes or spin-offs being nominated.
