Roll out the red carpet! The 2022 Emmy Awards will celebrate the best of comedy, drama and more fan-favorite TV shows.
Nominations for the 74th annual Emmy Awards were announced by J. B. Smoove and Melissa Fumero in July, with Succession leading the pack. The HBO hit — which stars Jeremy Strong, Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and more — earned an unprecedented 25 nods, including Outstanding Drama Series.
On the comedy side, AppleTV+ standout Ted Lasso trails closely behind with 20 total nominations. The series made history at the 2021 ceremony, becoming the most nominated freshman comedy in the awards show’s tenure. Among its seven wins last year were Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Jason Sudeikis, who portrays the titular sports coach.
“Thank you very much. So yeah, heck of a year,” the Saturday Night Live alum gushed while accepting his trophy at the 2021 ceremony. “I would say that this show is about family. This show is about mentors and teachers. This show is about teammates. And I wouldn’t be here without those three things in my life.”
Sudeikis went on to give a sweet shout-out to his children, whom he shares with ex-fiancée Olivia Wilde. “I want to thank my folks, Dan and Kathy. My sisters Chris and Lizzie,” he said. “My sisters that have been chosen outside of biology, Rachel. I want to thank my children, Otis and Daisy.”
The Sleeping With Other People actor also paid homage to his SNL roots. “I want to thank folks at SNL. Lorne [Michaels], who went to go take a dump now, perfect. He is going to get home — he’s going to watch. He loves watching the Emmys at home. It is fine. It’s fine. Which home is the big question!”

Succession, Ted Lasso and The White Lotus were the victors in their respective drama, comedy and limited categories at this year’s Emmy Awards. In total, the trio bagged 12 awards at Monday’s ceremony, including the big prize in their respective fields.
Jesse Armstrong said it had been a “big week for successions” as his hit HBO drama scooped a top prize at the 74th Emmy Awards. In his acceptance speech for the final award of the night, the British writer suggested there had been “a bit more voting involved” in the show’s win than with the ascension of the new King.
After the intensity and suspense of tonight’s Emmy broadcast, the winners, nominees and presenters gathered afterward to blow off some steam. From the Governors Ball to fetes thrown by HBO and Apple, many of the night’s biggest names were there — except for, of course, Jerrod Carmichael, who took his Emmy and his fur coat and went home.

The 2022 Emmys ended up being a middle-of-the-road show — nothing terribly controversial happened (no, nobody slapped anyone). But it also moved along at a brisk pace and included enough moving and funny moments that it wasn’t a bad show, either. Host Kenan Thompson played it safe, and did a solid job shepherding things along while injecting a few laughs, but nothing too distracting.
Joe Otterson TV Reporter HBO roared back to the top of the Emmy Awards, with the premium cabler and its streaming counterpart, HBO Max, topping the total awards haul for 2022. HBO/HBO Max picked up 38 Emmys in total, doubling their 19 wins in 2021. HBO took home multiple awards in the limited series category thanks to “The White Lotus'” 10 wins, with Mike White winning for both best writing and directing. Those wins were coupled with “The White Lotus” stars Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett’s wins for best supporting actress and actor in a limited series. To close out the night, “The White Lotus” ultimately won best limited series while “Succession” won best drama series.
