The 2023 Emmy nominations have come at a strange time. Late-night shows and series in pre-production are at a standstill after TV writers threw down their tools more than two months ago now, striking for a fair contract between AMPTP and the Writers Guild of America. However, Hollywood has proven that the show must go on – even in this tense capacity, and so here we are analysing the TV shows, actors and creators who have cut through in the last year.
Amidst the celebrations and applause, nominated stars like J. Smith-Cameron have chosen to bring attention to the ongoing Writers Strike. Smith-Cameron shared a statement that read, "I also strongly want to express that all shows and performers nominated today are only as good as their WRITERS! No one should ever mistake the fundamental importance of writers and their connection to the quality of a TV show or a film," she continued. "It’s vitally important that a fair solution is found to writers’ needs and requests.”
With that in mind, let's take a look at the winners of this year's nominations. Succession girlies can rest peacefully knowing that the finale season has accumulated an almighty 27 nominations, making history with Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin and Brian Cox all up for best actor – the first time a series has been recognised three times for one category.
As expected, The White Lotus cleaned up with its second season, as did HBO's The Last of Us, with Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Murray Bartlett, Melanie Lynskey, Storm Reid, Lamar Johnson, Nick Offerman, Keivonn Montreal Woodard and Anna Torv all receiving a mention. Thankfully, The Bear was recognised, with a total of six nominations, including one for Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri.
Elsewhere, Natasha Lyonne was noticed for her role in Pokerface and Dominique Fishback for Swarm. Although both Martin Short and Nathan Lane were included for Only Murders in the Building, acknowledgement of Selena Gomez is still absent. As for the rest?
