Succession Leads the 2022 Emmy Pack with 25 Nominations

HBO/HBO Max is the outlet to beat at the 2022 Emmy Awards. The Warner Bros. Discovery behemoth pulled ahead of Netflix to rack up the most Emmy nominations this year, with 140 in total, up from 130 in 2021. HBO drama Succession led the pack with 25 nominations, more than any other program. Netflix came in No. 2 with 105 nominations overall, down from 129 last year. HBO's The White Lotus received 20 nominations, as did Apple TV+’s beloved comedy Ted Lasso. Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building and HBO Max’s Hacks both racked up 17 nominations apiece. HBO properties accounted for three of the top five most nominated series, with Succession, The White Lotus and Hacks pulling in a combined 62 nominations. For the first time in recent memory, the Television Academy did not break down which outlets received the most nominations, a decision that comes as the line between streaming and linear continues to disintegrate, causing confusion and some inconsistency in total nominations count for outlets. (But that did not stop journalists from tallying the numbers themselves.) Here Are the Nominated Ads for the 74th Emmy Awards In recent years, streaming services have been fully in the driver’s seat when it comes to Emmy nominations. Last year, streaming services accounted for four of the five top nominated outlets, and Netflix overwhelmingly dominated in terms of total nominations. Hulu more than doubled its 25 nomination tally from 2021, pulling in 58 this year with a strong performance from Dopesick (14). Led by Ted Lasso and Severance (14 nominations), Apple TV+ earned 51 nominations, up from 35 in 2021. This year, Netflix’s most-nominated series is South Korean drama Squid Game with 14 nominations. The show is Netflix’s most-watched ever, and makes history as the first non-English-language series to be nominated for best drama. Disney+ dropped to 34 nominations, and Amazon Prime Video had 30. Paramount+ earned 11, but Paramount Network’s hit linear series Yellowstone was left out in the cold. But even with the strength of streaming, a new linear series, Abbott Elementary, did earn seven nominations for ABC. The breakout sitcom also topped the 2022 TCA Awards nominations. Nominees for outstanding drama series included AMC's Better Call Saul, HBO's Euphoria, Netflix's Ozark, Apple TV+'s Severance, Netflix's Squid Game, Netflix's Stranger Things, HBO's Succession and Showtime's Yellowjackets. The outstanding comedy series nominees are ABC's Abbott Elementary, HBO's Barry, HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, HBO Max's Hacks, Prime Video's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso and FX's What We Do in the Shadows. Honorees for outstanding limited or anthology series include Hulu's Dopesick, Hulu's The Dropout, Netflix's Inventing Anna, Hulu's Pam & Tommy and HBO's The White Lotus. Snubbed shows NBC, which will broadcast this year’s ceremony, only received a single nomination for the final season of its hit drama, This Is Us. The series previously had scored 38 nominations and multiple wins. Other shows that were entirely (or almost entirely) shut out in their final run included FX’s Better Things and ABC's Black-ish. FX's Reservation Dogs and HBO miniseries We Own This City were also ignored by the Television Academy. Ads nominated for Outstanding Commercial included Change the Ref’s “The Lost Class” and the cinematic “Detectives” for Apple iPhone 13 Pro. The 74th Emmy Awards will air Monday, Sept. 12 on NBC and stream live for the first time on Peacock. The complete list of 2022 Emmy nominations can be found here.
