Framing
Both outlets report their own nominations as self-congratulatory trade announcements, listing every nominated piece. The Hollywood Reporter leads with a comparative claim of having the most nominations.
Emphasis
Nomination counts, individual staff nominees, and the full lists of nominated work.
Leaves out or plays down
Neither mentions the other's total in its own article, and neither gives a full tally for all outlets; the 'more than any other outlet' claim is THR's own.
Charged language
“Tops”“more than any other outlet”
For example
“The Hollywood Reporter Tops National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards With 96 Noms, More Than Any Other Outlet” — The Hollywood Reporter
“Variety Nominated for 62 Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards” — Variety
