On Wednesday morning, the Television Academy revealed the nominees for the Emmy Awards 2023, the most prestigious prize in television, announced by Yvette Nicole Brown and TV Academy chair Frank Scherma in a virtual ceremony. The ceremony will honour the best shows that aired between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023.
The dark drama “Succession” topped the list with 27 nods, followed by the post-apocalyptic thriller “The Last of Us” with 24, the satirical comedy “The White Lotus” with 23, and the heartwarming sitcom “Ted Lasso” with 21.
The nominations reflect the mood of the times, as many of the shows deal with themes of violence, survival, trauma, and power. Some examples are “Succession,” “The Last of Us,” “Yellowjackets,” “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” and “Beef.”
The 75th Emmy Awards will take place on Monday, Sept. 18, at the Peacock Theater (formerly the Microsoft Theater) in Los Angeles. The show will air live on Fox from 5-8 p.m. PT/ 8-11 p.m. ET. The host has not been announced yet. The Creative Arts ceremonies will be held on Sept. 9-10. The event may be affected by the ongoing writers strike and the potential actors strike, which are still being negotiated.
