Today, Community star Yvette Nicole Brown announced this year’s nominees for the 75th Annual Emmy Awards, alongside Television Academy chair Frank Scherma.

Leading all nominees was HBO’s hit drama Succession, which received 27 nominations, including nods for Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, and Sarah Snook in the Outstanding Lead Actor/Actress in a Drama Series categories alone. Following closely behind are fellow HBO series The Last of Us and The White Lotus, which received 24 and 23 nominations respectively.

ESSENCE cover star Dominique Fishback received an Emmy nomination for her phenomenal performance in Swarm, and Abbott Elementary earned eight nominations after taking home its first Emmy honors last year, including memorable acting and writing wins, respectively, for Sheryl Lee Ralph and creator-star Quinta Brunson, who are both nominated again this year. Janelle James and Tyler James Williams are also nominated, in addition to Taraji P. Henson for her portrayal of Vanetta in the “Mom” episode that aired this past April.

The awards will be voted upon by the National Active members of the Television Academy. A final round of voting, which will be held from August 18 – 28, will determine who takes home golden statues when this year’s ceremony airs live on Monday, September. 18, at 8 pm EST on Fox.

A week prior to the big show’s tentative date, the 2023 Creative Arts Emmy Awards will take place over two consecutive nights, on Saturday, September 9 and Sunday, September 10.
