Nominees were announced overnight for the 2023 Emmy Awards.

Succession leads the way with 27 nominations overall including for Best Drama and Aussie Sarah Snook in Best Actress category.

It competes with The Last of Us, Andor, Better Call Saul, The Crown, The White Lotus, House of the Dragon and Yellowjackets for Best Drama.

Aussie Murray Bartlett is nominated twice for Welcome to Chippendales and The Last of Us. Anna Torv is also nominated for The Last of Us.

In Best Comedy, Ted Lasso, Barry, Only Murders in the Building, Abbott Elementary and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel are back joined by Wednesday, The Bear and Jury Duty.

In order to be eligible for this year’s awards, TV shows had to have aired between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023 and this can include a minimum number or all episodes.

The 75th Annual Emmys are currently set to air from the Peacock Theater (formerly the Microsoft Theater) on Monday, Sept. 18 (USA) with the Creative Arts ceremonies set for Sept. 9 and 10 (USA). But the Writer’s Strike and a looming SAG-AFTRA could push it back to as late as January.

  2. And surely ‘The Simpsons’ should be retired from these nominations?
    Where is ‘Bluey’ in the Outstanding Animated Program nominees?
    It rates as 9.5/10 on IMDb, and a season 4 release date is expected
    to arrive by early 2024. ‘The Simpsons’ series is tired, the sharpness
    of the scripting has been lost, and its animation is locked in the nineties
    forever. It also rates at only 8.7/10 on IMDb.

    The Guardian’s entertainment reporter, Stuart Heritage, said last year
    of the series that “They’re spectacular, boundary-pushing TV… Bluey
    is still arguably the best television series in the world”.

    Obviously—and sadly—Bluey’s creator Joe Brumm and/or the BBC
    Studios Kids & Family wasn’t prepared to pay the sort of payola other
    commercial enterprises were happy to pay for their show’s nomination.

  3. Really happy for Succession. Such a great show. But again Young Sheldon is ignored. It’s the funniest show on TV yet never gets nominated. Like here network TV just gets ignored now. Now that there are so many streaming services they need to have a separate category for dramas on network TV & streaming TV. So many great dramas just get ignored like The Blacklist, The Resident, Good Doctor, all the Chicago shows.

    1. I agree…! Check out the HCA TV Awards nominees and you’ll see a wider variety of nominees. They combine the acting categories but have separate categories for shows.

  4. I used to look forward to the announcement of the Emmy nominees each year, but now I’ve barely seen a single episode of any of the Drama or Comedy nominees (with the exception of “The Crown”). I guess the fact that I don’t actually subscribe to any subscription services means I’m no longer exposed to most of the “outstanding” TV shows being produced. The Hollywood Critics’ Association TV Awards have “broadcast network” categories, which basically reflect what I watch (“Abbott Elementary” seems to be the only common nominee). Interesting times…

  5. I like to pick out the strongest category each year and usually it’s Best Drama, Best Comedy or one of the acting categories. However, this year, it is by far and away the ‘Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series’ category. I have seen all 7 and I can honestly say they may all deserve to win. I genuinely cannot split most of them. And I love the way the episode title says a lot (apart from maybe Connor’s Wedding, which was more misdirecting viewers than anything else).

  6. If they had to air then Abbot Elementary would win every category by default. Clearly to even get nominated you have to be uploaded behind a paywall.

  7. I am absolutely appalled Elle Fenning was snubbed for her lead role in The Great. And also I know it’s been said but I can’t help repeat- The Bear is not a comedy. I love it but it is not a comedy.

  8. Ok I just read the full list of nominees with the supporting categories. And it reads really well. Overall I’m very happy with this year’s nominations. Impressive.

  9. Just a few of my snap judgements from this list: Brian Cox was in three episodes of Succession S4… strange addition. Culkin and Snook for the win however Rhea Seehorn not even being mentioned in the lead actress is one of the great travesties I’ve seen in a while. Also, do they not have supporting categories?
    Wednesday and Yellowjackets being included in their respective categories is laughable. Dominique Fishback in Swarm is possibly my favourite performance I’ve seen this year. She was flawless in an awfully tricky role. Beef being recognised is awesome too!
    Elizabeth Olsen missing altogether for Love & Death is a horrid oversight, as was Lauren Ambrose for Servant S4 and Sarah Goldberg for Barry S4. Also for Barry (in which I thought Bill Hader was ironically the least impactful in that final season), Anthony Carrigan was outstanding and should have been included (again, if they have best supporting categories he’d be there). Finally, Sam Claflin for Daisy Jones was great too.

    2. I agree with you on Brian Cox. Seeing as he has not won an Emmy yet for Succession, his best chances would have been in Supporting. Sarah Snook has been misplaced the last three times. She is rightfully now in Lead Actress. I will be rooting for Keiran Culkin. What a transformation in S4. And i liked him least in the first three!

    3. Troy, I just finished up Love & Death. To be honest, I can’t split it much from the earlier ‘Candy’. The 2 series approach the same true story from slightly different angles, but the end result is roughly the same. The Jesse Plemons/Pablo Schreiber husband character is the biggest difference between the 2 shows (apart from Candy’s hair-style), but it’s a matter of personal opinion which is better. Ditto for Olsen vs Beil. It’s kind of a shame for all involved that 2 shows were released so close to each other about the same subject matter.

      1. Oh awesome Davey! Did you enjoy it though? As I mentioned when I first gave my thoughts on it, I hadn’t seen Candy, so Love & Death was my first and very likely only entry in to this story. Did u prefer L&D or Candy? Olsen or Biel? I thought Tom Pelphrey was just so good as her lawyer, how did he compare to the Candy iteration? The only thing about the show I truly loathed was Plemons. What an awfully weak, strange, unattractive man whom I thought wasn’t played very well by him anyway… I didn’t buy for a second she was so into him in the first place, which didn’t help his character at all. I do notice that Plemons was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for his role, he was far and away the weakest thing in that show, so that was a bizarre nomination in my book.

        1. I thought the same thing. I don’t know what the guy in real life looks like but I found it odd she was so attracted to such an unattractive man. Maybe it was his personality that she liked. Don’t know Candy where did that air? Probably on a streaming service I don’t have.

        2. Yes, ‘Candy’ is on Disney+. I would think that most people may prefer whatever they watched first as the general story is near identical. I enjoyed both series about equally Troy & cannot split them. ‘Candy’ may win out as it’s simply 2 episodes less. Most of that difference is in the courtroom scenes, which are better in L&D, mostly due to the always excellent Pelphrey. I’m mostly with you on Plemons. The other performance in L&D I thought odd was Keir Gilchrist as it just seemed out of place & forced in. Olsen & Biel are both excellent. Biel easily looks more like the real Candy, which may explain the answer to your question about why she would be attracted to her husband. I also slightly preferred Lynskey’s Betty to Rabe’s. L&D feels a little more entertaining, however. As I said, they both have negligible pros & cons that make them difficult to split.
