The 2023 Emmy Awards are set to honor the best on the small screen, recognizing programming that aired between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. Comedian and actor Kenan Thompson hosted last year’s Emmys.
Succession, the HBO drama headlined by Brian Cox, earned a leading 27 nominations overall including an expected Best Drama nomination, plus multiple nods in the actor/actress categories.
In the actor categories, perhaps the question should be who didn’t get a nomination from the show: all the male faves got some Emmy love including Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin as well as Matthew Macfadyen, Alexander Skarsgård, Alan Ruck and the beloved Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun).
For the women, Sarah Snook got a nomination as did J. Smith-Cameron.
In the main Drama Series race, Succession will go up against fellow HBO hits that include House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and The White Lotus, in addition to Andor, The Crown, and Yellowjackets.
