The show did, however, earn five Emmy nominations overall:Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for Oh Father's song 'Raise Him Up,' Best Fantasy/Sci-Fi costumes, Outstanding Sound Editing, Outstanding Music Supervision, and Outstanding Stunt Coordination. The Boys season 5 joins non-satirical superhero shows Peacemaker season 2 and Spider-Noir in the Outstanding Stunts category.
