When the dust settled Wednesday, it was HBO and Max making the most of its rebranding, scoring 127 Emmy nominations and leading all networks and streamers, thanks in large part to significant contributions from “Succession,” “The Last of Us,” “The White Lotus” and “Barry.” In a strong showing, Netflix earned the second-most nominations for the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. While HBO/Max’s total is down from last year’s 140, it was still enough for the brand to land on top on nominations morning.
HBO had the three top-performing series with regards to nominations, specifically “Succession,” which led all series with 27, “The Last of Us” (24) and “The White Lotus” (23).
