- ‘Succession,’ ‘Ted Lasso,’ ‘White Lotus’ top Emmy nominees.
- HBO nabs 140 nominations to Netflix’s 105.
- ‘Squid Game’ is the first non-English language show nominated for best drama series.
Just like Logan Roy (Brian Cox) himself, HBO’s “Succession” once again comes out on top.
The show, which follows the dysfunctional Roy family’s fight for corporate power, leads the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards race with 25 nominations, including outstanding drama series. Apple TV+ comedy “Ted Lasso” and HBO’s social-satire limited series “The White Lotus” tied for second, with 20 nominations apiece.
“Succession” will compete with Netflix’s “Squid Game,” the first non-English language show nominated for the title; Netflix’s “Ozark,” which released its final episodes in April; and Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” the most watched English-language series on the platform. AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” HBO’s “Euphoria,” Apple TV+’s “Severance” and Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” are also nominated in the category.
Emmy snubs 2022: Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston among actors left off nomination list
Zendaya is nominated again as outstanding lead actress in a drama series for her work on HBO’s “Euphoria.” The first season made her the youngest (and only the second) Black woman to win a lead actress drama Emmy, for playing teen drug addict Rue Bennett. Zendaya is also up against BBC America’s “Killing Eve” stars Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, who wrapped their final season in April.
“Lasso,” which earned Jason Sudeikis an acting Emmy for the show’s first season, is vying for best-comedy honors with ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” HBO’s “Barry” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows” and Amazon Prime’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
Also in the race: Hulu’s murder mystery “Only Murders in the Building” and HBO Max’s “Hacks,” which saw Jean Smart winning an acting Emmy in the show’s first season.
“Lotus” and Hulu’s nonfiction drama “Dopesick, about the opioid crisis, are among nominees for outstanding limited series. “Lotus,” which follows employees and guests at a Hawaiian resort, is tied with “Ted Lasso” with 20 nominations and “Dopesick,” which showcases Purdue Pharma’s role in fueling the opioid addiction crisis, has 14.
HBO and HBO Max, with a leading total of 140 nominations, narrowly edged Netflix’s 105 for the second year in a row.
The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards are set to air Sept. 12 on NBC. A host hasn’t yet been announced.
