HBO’s dominance in Wednesday morning’s Emmy nominations cannot be overlooked. Their shows, including “Succession,” “The White Lotus,” and “The Last of Us,” collectively earned a staggering 74 nominations. However, this news is overshadowed by the ongoing writers strike and the looming possibility that actors may join them in the near future. “Succession,” with its deep exploration of a dysfunctional dynasty, led the pack with 27 nominations, including best drama. The show has already won this category twice in the past three years. Its talented cast, including Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, and Kieran Culkin, received nods for best actor in a drama, while Sarah Snook was recognized with a best actress nomination. Additionally, “Succession” garnered four nominations for best supporting actor in a drama.
Meanwhile, “The White Lotus,” set in a cursed Sicilian resort, dominated the supporting categories. The show secured five nominations for best supporting actress in a drama, with Jennifer Coolidge and Aubrey Plaza among the nominees. It also earned four nominations for best supporting actor. Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, the duo from “The Last of Us,” received lead acting nominations. Overall, “The Last of Us” received 24 nominations, just behind “Succession,” while “The White Lotus” scored 23. On the comedy front, “Ted Lasso” stood out with 21 nominations, including best comedy series and a best actor nomination for Jason Sudeikis.

However, the excitement surrounding these nominations may be dampened by the possibility of actors joining the writers on strike. Such a scenario would have a significant impact on the industry, as it would be the first time since 1960 that two Hollywood unions are on strike simultaneously. While the release of shows and films would continue, work on upcoming projects would come to a halt, and actors’ promotional activities in support of these projects would cease as well. The prospect of two strikes crippling the industry casts a shadow over the forthcoming Emmy ceremony, scheduled for September 18 on the Fox network.
