And “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” with seven, was the top unscripted series.ĭepending on what you think HBO-slash-Max now is (a streamer? A pay cabler?), the year was once again all about the streaming world.

Roku’s “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” was tops in TV movie, with eight. Netflix’s “Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” with 13 nods, was the year’s most recognized limited/anthology series. (That’s one more than last year’s 20, and just one shy of the record in the category - 22 for “30 Rock” in 2009). Meanwhile Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso,” which may or may not have ended its run with Season 3, scored 21 noms, making it the year’s biggest comedy. “Succession” actually landed two more nominations than last year’s 25, for example, while “The White Lotus” landed three more than in 2022. The idea was to spread the wealth around - but nonetheless, voters know what they like and will put all their eggs in those baskets. (In years past, voters could select as many as they wanted). It was another year of haves and have nots, which means the Television Academy’s procedural change - in which voters were limited to voting for just the number of nominees that were allotted in the category. (If there’s one miss, it’s the fact that HBO-slash-Max doesn’t have a contender in limited series, a category it normally dominates, including last year’s winner “White Lotus,” or TV movie, which used to be a reliable HBO win.)
It has four of the eight drama nods, which might make that Emmy party a bit awkward this year, but nonetheless a high-class problem to have.
Whatever you call it (they’d now like to be HBO-slash-Max), the network actually scored the top three shows with “ The Last of Us” - the first video game adaptation to receive major Emmy attention - scoring 24 noms, followed by Season 2 of “The White Lotus” (now a drama series, last year a limited series) landing 23.
