After months of anticipation, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences finally unveiled the list of nominees for the upcoming Emmy Awards. Succession is the clear leader, with a total of 25 nominations, followed by Ted Lasso and The White Lotus with 20 each.
Succession will be in the running for 12 awards at the Primetime Emmys and an additional 13 at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. It’s one of the contenders for the outstanding drama award, but the field also includes Better Call Saul, Euphoria, Ozark, Severance, Stranger Things, Squid Game, and Yellowjackets.
Ted Lasso is leading the way in the comedy field with a total of 10 nods in the main field and ten more for Creative Arts Emmys. Hacks and Only Murders in the Building are close behind with a total of 17 nods, and they’ll be competing for the best comedy series trophy, alongside Barry, Abbott Elementary, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and What We Do in the Shadows.
As for limited series categories, it will be a close call between The White Lotus and Dopesick come Emmys night. Dopesick didn’t get as many technical nods, but it’s just two nominations behind The White Louts in the main field, with nine nods for main awards.
The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on September 12 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, and the host is yet to be announced.
