The nominations for the 75th Emmy Awards were announced on Wednesday with “Succession” and HBO leading the pack.

Accounting for total Emmy nominations, “Succession” scored 27, five of which were in major categories. That was then followed by “The Last of Us,” which scored 24 noms, “The White Lotus” with 23, “Barry” with 11 and “House of the Dragon” with eight. “Being Mary Tyler Moore,” “A Black Lady Sketch Show,” “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” “The Other Two,” “100 Foot Wave,” “Moonage Daydream,” “Love and Death” and “Perry Mason” also received nominations, bringing the network’s total nominations to 127.

On the drama side of things, “Succession,” “The Last of Us” and “The White Lotus” stand as the most-nominated frontrunners. For comedies, Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” led the pack with 21 nominations followed by Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (14) and FX’s “The Bear” (13). Finally, Netflix dominated the Limited Series category. Both “Beef” and “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” received 13 nominations each.

In terms of total nominations, HBO was followed by Netflix with 103 nominations. Though HBO clearly dominated the drama categories, Netflix was a standout when it came to limited series thanks to “Beef” and “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”

Apple came in third place with 54 nominations thanks to “Ted Lasso” and “Blackbird.” The streamer was followed by Hulu with 42 nominations, Amazon Prime Video with 41 nominations and FX with 37.

Amazon’s Freevee was also nominated for four awards thanks to “Jury Duty,” and the Amazon-owned MGM was nominated for 23. Taking that into account, if you combine Prime Video, Freevee and MGM to just count as Amazon, the mega-corporation would be in third with 68 nominations.

Emmy-nominated actor Yvette Nicole Brown and Television Academy Chair Frank Scherma revealed the nominees for the 12 top categories during a live virtual ceremony that was broadcast on the Emmys’ website.

Last year, HBO’s “Succession” also led the pack with 25 nominations. It was followed by Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” with 20 nods. Both series have won the highest honors possible — Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Comedy Series, respectively — twice, and both may win them again in 2023.

This year, the Emmys may be facing something the ceremony hasn’t seen since 2001: a delay. Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. PT marks the deadline for SAG-AFTRA’s negotiations with the AMPTP. If that deadline passes without a resolution, chances are high that SAG members will join the WGA on strike, which would mean a delay for the Emmys. The last time the awards show was delayed was in 2001 when the ceremony was pushed back twice, once in the aftermath of Sept. 11 and once due to the start of the War in Afghanistan.

It should be noted that the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards, which was originally scheduled for June 16, has already been postponed indefinitely due to the WGA strike.

Read on for our full list of the main nominations below. Tune in to the 75th annual ceremony on Sept. 18, when it will air live coast-to-coast at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Fox.
