Los Angeles (USA) (EFE).- The drama series “Succession” won 27 nominations for the 75th edition of the Emmys and became the production with the most nominations, followed by “The Last of Us” and “The White Lotus”, with 24 and 23, respectively, the US Television Academy announced on Wednesday.
In the particular dispute between the platforms for trying to impose their hegemony, HBO won an unmitigated victory by monopolizing this “top 3” series with the most nominations.
Close fight for the Emmy in the drama category
On this occasion, the three productions that concentrate the most nominations will compete in the category of best drama series, a section that is completed by “Andor”, “Better Call Saul”, “The Crown” and “House of the Dragon”.
Despite the success of the fourth and final season of “Succession”, which surpassed its 24 nominations from last year, the all-time record for a drama series set by “Game of Thrones” with 32 in 2019 is still far behind.
The presence of this production about the multimillionaire and dysfunctional Roy family, which has already won in the category of best drama series in 2020 and 2022, was featured in all the pools of the specialized press.
Likewise, the phenomenon “The Last of Us”, a drama based on a post-apocalyptic United States, managed to win 24 nominations in its first season, including those for best actor and actress for its protagonists, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
And if the first season of “The White Lotus” (HBO) earned him the Emmy for best limited series last year, this second installment marked his debut in style in the drama sections, with 23 nominations.
In the comedy section, the reign of “Ted Lasso” continues, which has already accumulated two consecutive Emmy awards for best comedy series and is on its third.
His third gave him 21 nominations this Wednesday with his protagonist, Jason Sudeikis, nominated again for best actor in this format.
The 75th edition of the Emmys is scheduled for September 18 in Los Angeles (USA), but its celebration could be threatened in the event that the Hollywood Actors Guild follows in the footsteps of the writers’ union and puts on strike for lack of understanding with the big film and television studios.
