2023 Emmy Nominations Announced: ‘Succession’ & ‘The White Lotus’ Lead

This year’s Emmy nominations for the 75th Emmy Awards were released on Wednesday morning. 

The Emmys live-streamed the announcement on their official website where Frank Scherma, Television Academy Chair, and actress Yvette Nicole Brown presented the nominations. 

Scherma started the live stream off by introducing himself and the Emmys. “And what a great way to recognize the importance of the writers and performers and all those who created such phenomenal work over the past season,” he said.  

His speech referenced the writer’s strike that is currently plaguing the film and TV industry. 

“We hope the ongoing guild negotiations can come to an equitable and swift resolution. We are committed to supporting a television industry that stands strong in equity and where we can continue to honor all the incredible work you do.” 

Brown added, “Nothing makes me happier than celebrating other people and their big day.” 

Brown was nominated for her own Emmy Award in 2021 in Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her work in A Black Lady Sketch Show. 

The nominees included projects that aired from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023. HBO Max dominated this year’s Emmys as Succession received 27 nominations, The Last of Us received 24 and The White Lotus 23. 

The Emmys will be held on September 18 in Los Angeles at the Microsoft Theater. It will be aired live on Fox at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT.
