Riley Keough and more 2023 Emmy nominees are speaking out after being recognized for their outstanding performances on the small screen.
Nominations were announced on Wednesday, July 12, with Succession leading the drama categories. The HBO (now known as Max) hit — which came to an end in May after four seasons — earned 27 nods in total, including Outstanding Drama Series. Costars Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin, meanwhile, are all facing off for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
On the comedy side, Ted Lasso racked up an impressive 21 nominations, followed by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel with 14. Fan favorites The Bear and Jury Duty pose tough competition.
While scripted series tend to dominate the Emmys, the awards show also hands out trophies for talk shows, variety programs and more. This year, Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules is up for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program in the wake of the frenzy surrounding Tom Sandoval‘s affair with costar Raquel Leviss.
