Emmy Award nominations announced: 'Succession' leads with 27 noms

Suzanne Marques, Derrial Christon evaluate Emmy Awards noms

This year's Emmy Award nominations were announced Wednesday morning.

HBO dominated Wednesday morning's Emmy nominations, with the elite trio of "Succession," "The White Lotus" and "The Last of Us" combining for a whopping 74, but the dominant theme darkening the scene is the ongoing writers strike and the looming possibility that actors may join them in as little as a day.

"Succession" led all Emmy nominees in its fourth and final season with 27, including best drama, which it has won two of the past three years. It got three nominations for best actor in a drama, with Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin all getting nods for playing men of the Roy clan, and Sarah Snook getting a best actress nomination. It also got four nominations for best supporting actor in a drama.

Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, the duo on a fungus-filled quest in " The Last of Us," each got lead acting nominations. The show was second behind "Succession" with 24 nominations. "The White Lotus" had 23.

"Ted Lasso" was tops among comedies with 21 nominations, including best comedy series and best actor for Jason Sudeikis.
