This year’s Emmys has been a long time coming, after the 2023 ceremony was postponed until now due to last year’s seemingly endless SAG-AFTRA strike.
HBO has dominated this year’s Emmy Award nominations, with the elite trio of Succession, The White Lotus and The Last of Us combining for a whopping 74 nods.
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 Australian actress Sarah Snook getting a best actress nomination – she has previously been nominated twice for outstanding supporting actress for the series. Succession also got four nominations for best supporting actor in a drama.

The cursed vacationers at a Sicilian resort from the second season 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, based on a popular Playstation video game, was second behind Succession with 24 nominations – including one for Australian actor Murray Bartlett, who won outstanding supporting actor for The White Lotus last year, for his guest role in the series. This year, The White Lotus has 23 nominations.
The Emmy Awards’ most unforgettable moments over the years
Another nomination for Australian talent was Elizabeth Debicki’s for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series for her work in The Crown, with New Zealand star Melanie Lynskey also being nominated twice this year – once for outstanding lead actress in a drama series for Yellowjackets and again for outstanding guest actress in a drama for The Last of Us.

Ted Lasso was top among comedies with 21 nominations, including best comedy series and best actor for Jason Sudeikis. The Apple TV+ series won both awards for each of its first two seasons, but its threepeat prospects depend on whether Emmy voters favour other contenders like The Bear or Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
The nominations suggested that HBO – which got the most overall nominations by far with 127 – can still dominate even as streaming-only outlets have taken over so much of elite TV. The distinction is increasingly blurred, however, with a huge segment of viewers watching Succession and the cable channel’s other offerings on the streaming service now known as Max.
