Us Weekly is predicting who will be in the running for a golden statuette at the 2023 Emmys — and HBO is likely set up to dominate across the board.
The network’s biggest juggernaut, Succession, wrapped up its fourth and final season in May. While the show has a whopping 48 Emmy nominations and 13 awards overall so far, only three of those wins have been for acting. Matthew Macfadyen took home the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series trophy in 2022 for his portrayal of Tom Wambsgans, while Jeremy Strong won in 2020 for Oustanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Kendall Roy. That same year, Cherry Jones nabbed an award for Oustanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for her role as Nan Pierce.
This year, however, the show will likely see a great number of acting nods in all categories alongside its Oustanding Drama Series nomination due to the cast’s heavyweight performances. The lead actor race is particularly loaded with Kieran Culkin, who portrays youngest sibling Roman Roy, moving himself up from supporting actor to join Roy family patriarch Brian Cox and Strong. Alexander Skarsgård and Nicholas Braun — who play tech titan Lukas Matsson and Cousin Greg, respectively — may also land in the supporting category next to Macfadyen.
Sarah Snook, meanwhile, is a frontrunner in the lead actress race for her complicated role as Shiv Roy. Some of the show’s guest stars— including Harriet Walter, Hiam Abbess and James Cromwell — may also see nominations.
While other shows will be recognized following their final seasons — Ted Lasso, Barry, Better Call Saul and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to name a few — some newcomers will undoubtedly make a splash. HBO’s The Last of Us, a sci-fi adventure series that premiered in January, has been praised as the greatest video game adaptation ever made and one of the best TV shows of the year.
Pedro Pascal — who is at the center of the story as grieving father Joel — delivered a nuanced performance that will almost certainly earn him a nomination along with his costar Bella Ramsey, whose portrayal of Ellie serves as both a moving and hilarious foil to Pascal and the show’s overall darker tone.
Another HBO fan favorite — Mike White’s anthology series, The White Lotus — was initially entered in the Outstanding Limited Series/Anthology category in 2022. For its second season, however, the show is jumping to the Outstanding Drama Series category. Along with being tapped for an overall honor, The White Lotus will also likely catapult stars Meghann Fahy, Aubrey Plaza and Jennifer Coolidge — who took home Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie in 2022 — to potential wins.
HBO becomes less of a heavyweight in the comedy categories, but Bill Hader’s Barry — which wrapped up its fourth and final season in June — is a frontrunner alongside the likes of Apple TV+ hits Shrinking and Ted Lasso. FX’s The Bear — led by Jeremy Allen White, who won both a Golden Globe and SAG Award earlier this year — is also likely to garner recognition.
While it remains to be seen whether The Bear sweeps the 2023 Emmys, the chef-driven comedy is a shoo-in to overtake the awards ceremony in 2024. Season 2 premiered with a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes in June and features a slew of A-list guest stars including Jamie Lee Curtis, Will Poulter, John Mulaney, Sarah Paulson and the return of John Bernthal throughout its 10 episodes.
