HBO dominates Emmy Awards as 'Succession', 'The White Lotus' & 'The Last of Us' grab 74 nominations
HBO dominated Wednesday morning's Emmy nominations, with the elite trio of 'Succession', 'The White Lotus' and 'The Last of Us' combining for a whopping 74, but the dominant theme darkening the scene is the ongoing writers' strike and the looming possibility that actors may join them in as little as a day. 'Succession' and its deeply dysfunctional dynasty of one-percenters led all Emmy nominees in its fourth and final season with 27, including best drama, which it has won two of the past three years. It got three nominations for best actor in a drama, with Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin all getting nods for playing men of the Roy clan, and Sarah Snook getting a best actress nomination.
It also got four nominations for best supporting actor in a drama. The cursed vacationers at a Sicilian resort from the second of 'The White Lotus' truly dominated the supporting categories, however, landing five nominations for best supporting actress in a drama — including nods for Jennifer Coolidge and Aubrey Plaza — and four more for best supporting actor. Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, the duo on a fungus-filled quest in ' The Last of Us' each got lead acting nominations.
The show was second behind «Succession» with 24 nominations. «The White Lotus» had 23. 'Ted Lasso' was tops among comedies with 21 nominations, including best comedy series and best actor for Jason Sudeikis.
