The 2023 Emmy Awards are fast approaching, with nominations to be announced this afternoon.
The annual celebration of the best TV programming will take place this year on 18 September, with the nominated shows to be announced at 8.30am PT, or 4.30pm UK time, on Wednesday (12 July).
Shows eligible for the Primetime Emmys must have been broadcast in the US between 1 June 2022 and 31 May 2023, with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences choosing the nominees.
The nominations will be announced on a livestream by Community star Yvette Nicole Brown and Television Academy chair Frank Scherma. The host of September’s awards show is yet to be announced.
It’s been a stellar year for TV, with The Last of Us, The Bear, Abbott Elementary and the final season of Succession all expected to receive nods.
However, the awards also arrive at a tense moment for the television industry, with the Writers Guild of America still on strike. Should the strike still be going on in September, it will undoubtedly affect the 2023 Emmy Awards.

The chairman and chief executive of the Television Academy is presenting the nominations alongside Yvette Nicole Brown (Community). He could hardly have failed to mention the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike, which has stalled the entertainment industry including the Emmy Awards.
A question of ‘How many?’ for ‘The Last of Us'
16:25 , Tom Murray
Many fans will be waiting to see just how many nominations HBO’s adored adaptation of The Last of Us will receive today.
Some will argue that it should take home its fair share of silverware purely for its third episode, which was dedicated to a gay love story between Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett).
My colleague Louis’s excellent take on that here:
The Last of Us’s gay love story breaks new ground for an entire genre

Non-binary Yellowjackets star sits out of race over gendered categories
15:05 , Isobel Lewis
One actor who won’t be getting a nod at this year’s Emmys is Yellowjackets star Liv Hewson.
The Australian actor, who is non-binary, shared in April that they would not be being submitted for Emmy consideration as they felt the gendered awards categories were “inaccurate” of their gender.
“I can’t submit myself for this because there’s no space for me,” they said.

Succession’s final season expected to be among most-nominated shows
14:50 , Isobel Lewis
Ever since the explosive final season of Succession concluded, fans have reckoned the HBO show and its stars will dominate this year’s Emmy Awards.
In some categories, the cast are even expected to compete against each other, with Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong all eligible for the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series category.
Over the years, Succession has been nominated 48 times, winning 13 times. It has been named Outstanding Drama Series twice, with Matthew Macfadyen last year winning for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
