Succession has been submitted into the leading actor category at this year’s Emmys, despite his character’s limited screen time in season four.Variety has confirmed that Cox’s turn as the billionaire media mogul will be considered alongside fellow co-stars Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin, the latter having moved into the lead category after previously being listed as a supporting actor.The announcement comes in spite of the fact that Cox’s character died in the third episode (‘Connor’s Wedding’) of the current and final season. Subsequently, it had been speculated that the actor would be downgraded to the supporting actor or guest categories.With that not being the case, Succession could now make history as the first show to land three lead drama actor nominations in the same year.
