The 2022 Emmy nominations landed Tuesday morning, which may help you prioritize your streaming choices before the awards ceremony on Sept. 12. Here’s a guide of nominees by streaming service to help you navigate all your Emmys catch-up, from award-winning series to splashy newcomers.
HBO is always a power player at the Emmys, and it’s no surprise that their current buzziest dramas — “Succession” and “Euphoria” — made a big impact. The second season of druggy teen drama “Euphoria” took nominations for best drama series, while Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney were nominated for their performances. The third season of Jesse Armstrong’s Shakespearean tragedy of mergers, acquisitions and family business, “Succession,” took a nom for best drama series and swept the acting nominations, with Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong nominated for best actor, and J. Smith-Cameron, Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun, Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen taking supporting acting nominations. Fingers crossed Macfadyen’s performance as the cheerfully Job-like figure Tom Wambsgans takes the win. Mark Mylod, Cathy Yan and Lorene Scafaria deservedly received directing nominations for the series as well.
Also on HBO, Mike White’s limited series “The White Lotus” unsurprisingly swept the acting categories in the limited series or TV movie category, with Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney (again), Murray Bartlett, Jake Lacy and Steve Zahn all nominated in supporting acting categories. Creator Mike White was also nominated for writing and directing, and “The White Lotus” was also nominated for best limited series or TV movie. Also in the limited series category, Toni Collette and Colin Firth were nominated for their work on “The Staircase,” Oscar Isaac snagged a nom for “Scenes from a Marriage,” and Himesh Patel was nominated for “Station Eleven.”
