2023 Emmy Awards: "Succession" leads with 27 nominations as HBO ties network record
CBSN
Nominations for the 75th annual Emmy Awards were unveiled on Wednesday morning, and HBO tied a record set by NBC in 1992, with four series — critically acclaimed fan-favorites "Succession" and "The White Lotus," along with the video game adaptation "The Last Of Us" and "House of the Dragon," the "Game of Thrones" prequel — in the running for outstanding drama.
"Succession," which also led the pack of nominees in 2022, dominated the roster again this year, with 27 nominations in total for its final season.
The announcement — hosted by Yvette Nicole Brown, of "A Black Lady Sketch Show" and "Community," and Frank Scherma, who chairs the Television Academy — came at a tense time for Hollywood.

Opening Wednesday's presentation, Scherma said, "We hope the ongoing guild negotiations can come to an equitable and swift resolution."
