HBO, the no-longer-platform HBO Max, raked in the most nominations of anyone with at least 127 and scored a coup in the drama race with four mentions: House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, The White Lotus and, expectedly the top nominee of any program with 27 in total, Succession. 

All of those are from HBO proper, and no one network has previously had 4 series compete for best drama race in one year.

There were no surprises in the eight-strong list of best drama nominees.

HBO’s foursome was joined by Andor (Disney+), Better Call Saul (AMC), The Crown (Netflix) and Yellowjackets (Showtime).

Acting races in that genre brought similarly expected hauls for the top performers. Succession logging spots for three leading men (Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong), lead actress Sarah Snook, four supporting actors (Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen, Alan Ruck, Alexander Skarsgård) and supporting actress J Smith-Cameron. It also scored four guest actor and actress nominations, though that’s where network neighbor The Last of Us really shined — taking all seven of the remaining drama guest spots.

The Last of Us was the second most-nominated of all series — edging out The White Lotus, 24 vs 23, in its move from the limited to the drama race. The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey were both nominated, as were a slew of supporting and guest players. Also notable acting nominations in the drama races were for nine mentions in the supporting categories for the cast of The White Lotus, including a repeat for 2022 winner (in limited) Jennifer Coolidge.

Comedy

Comedy proved to be a mixed bag. Ted Lasso again came out on top with 21 nominations, though the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel held its own with 14. And newcomers The Bear (FX) and Wednesday (Netflix), as well as returning series Barry (HBO) and Only Murders in the Building (Hulu), edged out broadcast darling Abbott Elementary (ABC) in nominations count. Perhaps most surprising in the category, however, was the Amazon Freevee breakout Jury Duty.
