Emmy Award nominations: Succession makes history as full list of nominations announced

The nominations for the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards have been announced, with Succession and The Last of Us leading the pack.

The Television Academy’s annual awards show will take place on 18 September, with the nominated shows announced via livestream on Wednesday (12 July).

The final series of HBO’s Succession met predictions and led the nominations, earning a whopping 14 acting nominations and becoming a contender for Outstanding Drama Series (an award it has won twice before).

Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong will compete against each other for the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series category. This marks the most actors to ever be nominated from the same show in this category.

A similar Succession face-off will take place in the Outstanding Supporting Actor category, where 2022 winner Matthew Macfadyen is nominated alongside his castmates Nicholas Braun, Alan Ruck and Alexander Skarsgård.

Sarah Snook is nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series, while J Smith-Cameron is nominated in the supporting actress category.

Including technical categories, Succession picked up 27 nominations in total. Fellow HBO projects The Last of Us and The White Lotus follow close behind with 23 and 24 nominations apiece.

Ted Lasso is the most-nominated comedy, receiving 20 nods.
