Emmy 2023: Apple’s Domination and Surprises That Will Blow Your Mind!
Get ready, series lovers, because this year’s Emmy Awards are a TV drama in themselves! The American Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 77th ceremony, and Apple showed its teeth like never before. The series “Severance” snagged a whopping 27 nominations, becoming the absolute favorite in the drama series category.
But wait, there’s more. Apple’s comedy “The Studio” isn’t far behind, with 23 nominations, tying the record with last year’s hit series “The Bear.” HBO Max is also in the game with shows like “The Penguin,” “The White Lotus,” “The Last of Us,” and “Hacks,” which collectively brought the network the most nominations this year.
Old Masters and New Stars
Kathy Bates, at 77 years old, became the oldest nominated actress in the lead actress in a drama series category, proving age is no barrier to stellar roles. Did you know Harrison Ford got his first-ever Emmy nomination? Yes, the legendary actor was nominated for a supporting role in the comedy series “Shrinking.”
Another fun fact — Martin Scorsese, the film legend, received his first acting nomination for a guest role in “The Studio.” Is this a sign that Hollywood legends are turning more and more to TV? Looks like it.
Nominations That Matter
In the best drama series category, besides “Severance,” nominees include “Andor,” “The Diplomat,” “The Last of Us,” “Paradise,” “The Pitt,” “Slow Horses,” and “The White Lotus.” The acting nominations are packed with big names: Adam Scott, Noah Wyle, Sterling K. Brown, Pedro Pascal, Gary Oldman, and many others are battling for the prestigious awards.
For comedies, besides “The Studio,” nominees include “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Nobody Wants This,” “Abbott Elementary,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Bear,” “Hacks,” and “Shrinking.” The acting categories are full of talents like Kristen Bell, Jean Smart, Uzo Aduba, Ayo Edebiri, Quinta Brunson, and Seth Rogen.
The Ceremony and the Host
Everything will culminate on September 14, when American comedian Nate Bargatze will host the ceremony. The show will be broadcast live on CBS and the Paramount streaming service, meaning millions of viewers worldwide can watch who takes home the golden statues.
