The 2023 Emmy nominations have landed, and they prove what a fantastic year of TV we've had. Succession leads the way with 27 nominations in total, while The Last of Us follows close behind with 24. Other popular shows were The White Lotus (23) and Ted Lasso (21). 

It's a big year for final seasons, with Ted Lasso, Succession, and Better Call Saul all being recognized. The former also made history with its actor nominations as it is the first time one show has had three actors up for Lead Actor in a Drama Series. 

We're particularly pleased to see The Last of Us getting a lot of attention too, especially some well-deserved nods for Bella Ramsey, Pedro Pascal, Murray Bartlett, and Nick Offerman.

This year, the awards will take place on September 18, 2023, but there is a concern it may be delayed amid ongoing strikes.
