This yearโ€™s Emmy Awards, known officially as the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, will be held this fall on Monday, September 18, 2023.

The nominees were announced during a virtual broadcast on July 12, hosted by Community and A Black Lady Sketch Show star Yvette Nicole Brown and Television Academy Chair Frank Scherma.

The 2023 Emmys are set to honor the best on the small screen, recognizing programming that aired between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. Comedian and actor Kenan Thompson hosted last yearโ€™s Emmys.

Succession, the HBO drama headlined by Brian Cox, earned a leading 27 nominations overall including an expected Best Drama nomination, plus multiple nods in the actor/actress categories. In the actor categories, perhaps the question should be who didnโ€™t get a nomination from the show: all the male faves got some Emmy love including Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin as well as Matthew Macfadyen, Alexander Skarsgรฅrd, Alan Ruck and the beloved Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun). For the women, Sarah Snook got a nomination as did J. Smith-Cameron.

In the main Drama Series race, Succession will go up against fellow HBO hits that include House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and The White Lotus, in addition to Andor, The Crown, and Yellowjackets.

Per Variety, here are how the networks and streaming services ranked in terms of nominations:

Succession was the cornerstone of HBOโ€™s total tally of 127 nominations, including shows that also ran on the streamer previously known as HBO Max.

Succession raked in 27 bids, including a history-making troika of noms. Last year the series grabbed 25 nominations and went all the way to take the top prize for drama series. Also adding heft to HBOโ€™s tally this year was the acclaimed freshman drama The Last of Us, with 24, and The White Lotus at 23.

Netflixโ€™s haul was paced by 13 noms apiece for Beef and Dahmer: Monster โ€” The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. Buzzy new comedy Wednesday had a strong showing in its freshman year with 12. The Crown, the royal family drama that was crowned top drama series in 2021, weighed in with six noms.

Hulu grabbed 64, led by 11 for Only Murders in the Building.

Apple TV+ also had a big year with a broad slate of programs delivering a total of 54 noms, including Ted Lasso with 21 noms and documentary feature Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie with seven. Amazon Prime Video also had a broad menu of content that added up to 41 mentions, fueled by 14 for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and nine for Daisy Jones and the Six.

Disney+ came in with 40, including impressive showings for its Lucasfilm series with Andor grabbing eight noms including a berth in the top drama series race and Obi-Wan Kenobi with five and a spot in the competitive limited/anthology series heat. ABC bagged 28, including eight for comedy Abbott Elementary. Abbott Elementary is carrying the flag for broadcast network TV with its standing as the only broadcast series to nab a nom across drama, comedy and limited/anthology series.

NBC was close behind ABC with 27, including nine for Saturday Night Live and a late-night talk series mention for Late Night with Seth Meyers.
