LOS ANGELES — 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.
Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, the duo on a fungus-filled quest in"The Last of Us,” each got lead acting nominations. The show, based on a popular Playstation video game, was second behind “Succession” with 24 nominations. “The White Lotus” had 23. The nominations suggested that HBO — which got the most overall nominations by far with 127 — can still dominate even as streaming-only outlets have taken over so much of elite TV. The distinction is increasingly blurred, however, with a huge segment of viewers watching “Succession” and the cable channel’s other offerings on the streaming service now known as Max.
The possibility of an industry debilitated by strikes could dampen any joy for the new nominees, and could put the damper on the ceremony scheduled for Sept. 18 on the Fox network. Representation was stronger in the comedy categories, where the Black actors of ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” were again a high point for Emmy diversity, and for the otherwise largely absent broadcast networks. Creator Quinta Brunson was nominated for best actress, while Sheryl Lee Ralph and Janelle James were nominated for best supporting actress, as was Eyo Edebiri for “The Bear.”
Netflix led streamers with 103 nominations, but its showing was meager in many of the top categories. “The Crown” received its nearly annual deference for best drama, and Jenna Ortega received a best actress in a comedy nomination for “Wednesday.” Christina Applegate was nominated for the third and final season of Netflix’s “Dead to Me” in the same category. Applegate, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, has said the role may be her last.
