Emmy Nominations 2022: Succession Leads the Pack, HBO Edges Out Netflix

Emmy Nominations for 2022 were announced on Tuesday by JB Smoove and Melissa Fumero during a virtual ceremony. HBO's Succession landed 25 nominations giving it the top spot, followed by Apple's Ted Lasso and HBO's The White Lotus tied in the second place with 20 nominations each. Hacks (17), Only Murders in the Building (17), Euphoria (16), Barry (14), Dopesick (14), Severance (14), Squid Game (14), Ozark (13), Stranger Things (13), The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (12) and Pam & Tommy (10) were some of the other shows that were able to bag more than ten nominations.

HBO narrowly took the lead against Netflix with 108 nominations compared to the 105 nominations of the latter. The competition between these two platforms was even closer last year — HBO (130) and Netflix (129).

This was notably a great year of achievement for women. Women took nearly half of the nomination spots in the scripted directing categories. Almost 40 percent of the nominations in the scripted writing categories are reportedly also women.

The 2022 Emmy Nominations saw 50 first-time performers get nominated across several different categories — Chadwick Boseman (What If…?), Elle Fanning (The Great), Andrew Garfield (Under the Banner of Heaven), Jung Ho-yeon (Squid Game), Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game), Barack Obama (Our Great National Parks), Sebastian Stan (Pam & Tommy), and more.

The 74th Emmy Awards will air live from the Microsoft Theater on September 12 on NBC and will be live-streamed on the Peacock streaming platform. For the time being, there is no update on an Indian broadcaster for this event.

Here is a list of the 2022 Emmy nominations in some of the key categories:
