1. The 2023 Emmy nominations are here

We're beginning to think the Television Academy liked "Succession" and "The White Lotus." The HBO shows performed quite well at this year's Emmy nominations, with the former picking up a leading 27 nods and the latter earning 23. In fact, "Succession" became the first series to receive three lead drama actor nominations in one year, as Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, and Jeremy Strong all got in. "The White Lotus" also received five nods for best supporting actress in a drama alone, while HBO's "The Last of Us" earned 24 nominations, including for stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Other first-time nominees included Jenna Ortega for "Wednesday" and Dominique Fishback for "Swarm," and "Jury Duty" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi" received surprise nominations for best comedy and limited series, respectively. Notable snubs included the entire cast of "House of the Dragon" and Harrison Ford, who wasn't nominated for either "Shrinking" or "1923." But to be fair, nobody told voters that shows other than "The White Lotus" exist.
