The 2023 Emmy nominations were announced last night by Community star Yvette Nicole Brown, with HBO’s<\/a> hit drama Succession season 4<\/a> receiving 27 nominations, which included best actor\/ actress nods for Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong<\/a>, Kieran Culkin, and Sarah Snook, in the Drama category. Following close behind was The Last of Us<\/a> with a whopping 24 nominations, becoming the first live-action video game adaptation to be recognised by the Television Academy, including one for Best Drama Series. Of course, both leads Pedro Pascal<\/a> and Bella Ramsey<\/a> earned their Outstanding Actor\/ Actress nods, with co-creator Craig Mazin<\/a> securing a spot for best direction. That goes to episode 3 of the show, \u2018Long, Long Time,’ written by Peter Hoar, which improved the source material by crafting a wholesome queer romance story. The main actors in the episode Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett also received nominations in the Best Guest Actor space.<\/p>\n

Coming in third \u2014 by a tiny margin \u2014 is the second season of The White Lotus<\/a> which received 23 nominations, securing spots among Best Drama Series, writing and direction, and supporting roles. It makes sense for none of the cast to be listed among the best actor\/ actress spots since they largely shared an equal amount of screen time. It’s nice to see HBO dominating the Emmy Awards once again with their quality lineup of shows, although it was a bit strange to see House of the Dragon<\/a> only receiving one nomination \u2014 for Outstanding Drama Series.<\/p>\n

Despite being one of the biggest shows of last year \u2014 ironically, based on succession<\/em> within the Targaryen family \u2014 none of the actors were recognised. Not even Paddy Considine<\/a>, who played King Viserys in the series, making impossible decisions to find an heir to the Iron Throne in a limited time, due to his ailment that ultimately led to his demise. The Game of Thrones<\/a> prequel spin-off didn’t even receive any directing or writing nominations.<\/p>\n

Three shows from the galaxy far, far away also made it to the Emmy’s list. Andor<\/em><\/a> received three nominations, including best drama and best direction, with Beau Willimon claiming one for best writing. The Mandalorian<\/em><\/a> and the forgettable Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/em><\/a> secured a bunch for technical achievements such as costumes, cinematography, and stunts. The latter was also nominated in the best limited series category.<\/p>\n

The 75th annual Emmys are slated to stream live from the Peacock Theater on early Tuesday, September 19 at 5:30am IST, over on Lionsgate Play<\/a>. In the US, the awards show is set for Monday, September 18 at 5pm PT, though for now, a host hasn’t been announced. There’s still a chance for the event to get postponed, due to the ongoing writer’s strike on Hollywood<\/a>. Not to mention, the SAG-AFTRA’s ongoing contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have created the possibility for an actor’s strike in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

With that, here’s a list of the 2023 Emmy Nominations in some of the key categories:<\/p>\n
