LOS ANGELES.- The Bear sweeps the Wednesday in the Emmy nominations with a record number of 23 in series of comedy, y Shogun led all nominations with 25 in a dominant year across all categories for FX.
Nominations for the acclaimed culinary phenomenon The Bear They include best comedy series and best actor in a comedy series for Jeremy Allen White, both awards he won at the ceremony held in January due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, along with best actress for Ayo Edebiri, who won best supporting actress at the last ceremony.
It also benefited from a slew of guest-starring nominations, including Jamie Lee Curtis and Olivia Colman, two of several Oscar winners to earn nominations.
The big surprise
Shogun took advantage of the absence of the three main nominees from last year Succession, The White Lotus y The Last of Us to dominate in the drama series category and give FX, which had a total of 93 nominations, a solid year that is often reserved for HBO, which even in its weak year managed to position itself in second place with 91 nominations.
Its nominations include best drama series, best actress in a drama series for Anna Sawai and best actor for Hiroyuki Sanada.
The series shook up the drama race when its creators said in May that despite having reached the end of James Clavell’s historical novel about political machinations in early 17th-century Japan, they would consider doing more than one season, moving the critical favorite from the limited series category to the more prestigious drama category.
True Detective: Night Country It was a ray of light for HBO, whose success Succession finished and is waiting for the new seasons of The White Lotus y The Last of Us.
The show, a semi-spinoff of the franchise True Detectiveled the limited or anthology series nominations with 19, including best actress for Jodie Foster for playing the role of a police chief who investigates mysterious deaths in the darkness of winter in northern Alaska. It is expected to compete for the Emmy for best limited series with Fargo, which had 15 nominations and gives FX the opportunity to achieve the triple crown if its candidates win drama and comedy series, and with Baby Reindeera minor cultural phenomenon and an Emmy upstart for Netflix in recent months.
