\n Many awards prognosticators expected the drama categories at this year\u2019s Emmys to feature an odd assortment of nominated titles. Consider it a perfect storm of sorts: With the ending of HBO\u2019s Succession<\/em> (which took the top prize for three of its four seasons) and AMC\u2019s Better Call Saul <\/em>(which garnered a staggering 53 nominations across its six seasons without a single win) \u2014 plus the fact that last year\u2019s strikes forced shows like last year\u2019s drama nominees The Last of Us<\/em>, Stranger Things<\/em>, The White Lotus<\/em> and Yellowjackets<\/em> to delay production \u2014 this year\u2019s contenders for best drama series<\/a> include only one previous nominee in The Crown<\/em>, which won the prize in 2021.<\/p>\n

\n While the royal drama from Netflix might be the reigning champ, it\u2019s FX\u2019s Shogun<\/em> that stands as the strongest frontrunner \u2014 a claim it couldn\u2019t make until the network renewed the show, forcing a savvy move from the limited series category to drama. But even if the top prize for drama is a foregone conclusion, the category did manage to offer some surprises beyond its freshmen entries in Netflix\u2019s 3 Body Problem<\/em> and Prime Video\u2019s Fallout<\/em> and Mr. and Mrs. Smith<\/em>. Also entering the race for the first time are HBO\u2019s The Gilded Age<\/em> and App<\/a>le TV+\u2019s The Morning Show<\/em> and Slow Horses <\/em>\u2014 and all three shows are nominated for the first time despite having aired multiple seasons.<\/p>\n

\n There are few strategic rules when it comes to Emmy campaigning, but a buzzy new series certainly has its advantages, particularly when it can gather consecutive Emmy nominations (and wins) for multiple seasons. But just as shows accumulate audiences over many seasons, they can also manage to grab the attention of Academy voters during less competitive years \u2014 and while rare, it\u2019s happened at least twice in the past decade: FX\u2019s The Americans<\/em> earned its first of two best drama nods for its fourth season in 2016, while Prime Video\u2019s The Boys <\/em>landed one for its second season in 2021.<\/p>\n

\n Even The Gilded Age<\/em> star Carrie Coon, who earned a best actress nom along with Christine Baranski\u2019s supporting actress nom, had a theory behind the success of the HBO drama\u2019s second season compared to its first. \u201cOne of the things that happens with a second season is that you\u2019ve dispatched with all the exposition and so you can jump right into the story,\u201d Coon told THR<\/em> the day of the noms announcement.<\/p>\n

\n While The Gilded Age<\/em> is HBO\u2019s lone contender for best drama (somewhat surprising considering the network\u2019s typical Emmys domination), the cabler\u2019s absence was good news<\/a> for Apple TV+ mainstay The Morning Show<\/em>. The star-studded drama was one of the streamer\u2019s earliest hits, premiering in tandem with Apple\u2019s launch in November 2019, and many of those stars \u2014 including Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass and Martin Short \u2014 earned Emmy noms for their season one performances in 2020 (Crudup won best supporting actor). While Crudup, Marcia Gay Harden and Reese Witherspoon scored nods in 2022 for the show\u2019s second season, The Morning Show<\/em> itself again was passed over for a drama series nomination. Not only did the show clinch it this year, it also boasts a whopping 10 acting noms, including repeat nods for Aniston, Crudup, Duplass, Harden and Witherspoon, and fresh mentions for supporting players Nicole Beharie, Jon Hamm, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman and Holland Taylor. (Executive producer Mimi Leder also scored her second directing nom for the series.)<\/p>\n

\n Apple TV+\u2019s Slow Horses<\/em>, nominated for its third season, is more under the radar \u2014 and thus a complete Emmys surprise as far as awards experts go, who until this year didn\u2019t have the Gary Oldman-fronted spy thriller on their lists of predictions. (One can only imagine what other wild card could have filled the slot had Shogun<\/em> not been renewed.) Yet the pedigree of the Oscar-winning Oldman may have helped push this word-of-mouth success into voters\u2019 awareness \u2014 not only did Oldman score an Emmy nomination, so did supporting actor Jack Lowden, guest star Jonathan Pryce, director Saul Metzstein and writer Will Smith (Veep<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\n This phenomenon is hardly limited to the drama categories this year: The third and final season of FX\u2019s Reservation Dogs<\/em>, a critical darling championed by the likes of THR<\/em>\u2018s own Daniel Fienberg, finally broke through with the Academy to earn its first best comedy series nomination. Perhaps more unexpected was the best actor nomination for D\u2019Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, making the 22-year-old the youngest nominee in his category (and potentially the youngest winner, a record currently held by Michael J. Fox for his 1986 win for Family Ties <\/em>at 25). And while FX\u2019s What We Do in the Shadows <\/em>is not a surprise nominee \u2014 it\u2019s the show\u2019s third nom for best comedy series \u2014 it did score a best actor nomination for Matt Berry, the first acting nod in its five-season run.<\/p>\n

\n When asked why his ensemble has been until now ignored by the Academy, What We Do in the Shadows <\/em>showrunner Paul Simms gave THR<\/em> an Occam\u2019s razor kind of hypothesis: \u201cI don\u2019t know. Maybe there\u2019s just too many shows?\u201d It\u2019s as good a theory as any. Even as we slowly move out of the Peak TV era, there are still hundreds of narrative television series on a seemingly endless list of broadcast networks, cable channels and upstart streaming services. That\u2019s thousands and thousands of hours of television, more than any Academy voter (or, I must say, any awards expert) can possibly consume.<\/p>\n

\n That\u2019s potentially one public service that the Emmys can provide: a shortlist of the best shows on television that viewers can accept, within reason, as the best of the best on TV. But even the Academy doesn\u2019t always get it right from the very beginning \u2014 just look at Pop TV\u2019s Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/em>, which didn\u2019t earn a single Emmy nomination until its fifth season in 2019 (it would lose to another show that earned its first nom for its second and final season: Prime Video\u2019s Fleabag<\/em>). A year later, the show won best comedy series and swept the acting categories, cementing Eugene Levy, Catherine O\u2019Hara, Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy as one of television\u2019s great ensembles \u2014 and proving that sometimes Emmy domination is all about the long game<\/a>.<\/p>\n
