Hollywood may be bracing for a potential second work stoppage later today, but this morning was a joyous one for many with the announcement of the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. Yvette Nicole Brown and Television Academy Chair Frank Scherma revealed a slew of nominees led by “Succession” with 27 nominations, “The Last of Us” with 24 mentions, and “The White Lotus” with 23 nominations. “The Last of Us” becomes the first video game adaptation to earn a major award nomination, with highlights including Best Drama Series, Best Actor, and Best Actress selections. “Succession” also made Emmy history with three lead actors being nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series. Clearly, today was a great day for HBO.
Lucasfilm had a great morning, as well. Both “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Andor” received major nominations for Best Limited Series Or Anthology and Best Drama Series, respectively. Favorites such as “The Bear” and “Beef” both scored major nominations also, earning 13 selections each. Even though the presumed final season of “Ted Lasso” wasn’t as beloved as previous, that series still picked up 21 nominations, the most of any comedy series.
