HBO’s “Succession” leads this year’s Emmy nominations, with 27 — including best drama, lead actress (Sarah Snook) and a record three lead actor noms (Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong). “The Last of Us” — the first video game adaptation to receive major Emmy attention — followed with 24 noms, then Season 2 of “The White Lotus” (now a drama series, last year a limited series) with 23.

The final season of ‘Succession’ bagged 27 total nominations, including a record-setting three nominations in the best actor in a drama category.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards is being held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The ceremony, which usually takes place in September, was delayed to accommodate the WGA and SAG strikes. (ANI)
