The Emmy nominees were announced yesterday, and HBO's "Succession" led the pack with 25 nods. Apple's "Ted Lasso" and HBO's "The White Lotus" are tied for second with 20 each. "Squid Game" picked up 14 nominations, including Best Drama Series. Several cast members got acting nods, too. Chadwick Boseman got a posthumous nod for Marvel's "What If . . .?" So did Jessica Walter for "Archer", and Norm Macdonald for "Nothing Special". "Stranger Things" got nominated for Best Drama Series, but no actors were recognized. Speaking of snubs, "Yellowstone" came away with NOTHING. And in their final seasons, "Black-ish" and "This Is Us" were locked out of everything but the technical categories, and came away with three total nominations between them. "Bridgerton", "1883", "Moon Knight", "Pachinko", and "Gaslit". . . starring Julia Roberts and Sean Penn. . . were also absent from the major categories. "The Emmys" will air live on September 19th on both NBC and Peacock.
