This year's Emmy Awards may double as a "Succession" goodbye party. The nominations for the 2023 Emmys have been unveiled, and as expected, the departing HBO drama had a great morning, becoming the first show ever to receive three nominations in the lead drama actor category. But there were also some stunning omissions from the list, as well as a few inclusions that pundits didn't see coming. One legendary actor was snubbed not once but twice. These were this year's most shocking Emmys snubs and surprises.

Snub: Elizabeth Olsen and Rachel Weisz
