What that ‘Succession’ bombshell episode will mean for the Emmys

UPDATED: Succession‘s Sarah Snook will likely be submitted in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for the 2023 Primetime Emmy nominations, Deadline has learned. Snook, who portrays Shiv in the Emmy-winning series has submitted in the supporting actress category for the previous three seasons, securing nominations for seasons 2 and 3. Snook received Critics Choice and Golden Globe awards for her performance in the role in 2022, along with a SAG Award nomination. Her reps would not confirm that any decision has been made.

Kieran Culkin will be submitted in the lead actor in a drama series category for the 2023 Primetime Emmy nominations for his role as Roman in HBO’s Succession, Deadline has confirmed.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Roman Roy is now co-CEO of Waystar RoyCo on HBO’s “Succession,” so it’s only natural that actor Kieran Culkin followed suit with his Emmy campaign. Culkin, who plays the sarcastic and jokey Roman on HBO’s hit drama series, confirms to Variety exclusively he will be submitted for the lead drama actor category at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards. This marks a category switch for the actor, who previously submitted in the supporting categories for the three previous seasons. Roman has come to the forefront during this fourth and final season of the show, leading the way on the Waystar-GoJo deal with his siblings Kendall (Jeremy Strong) and Shiv (Sarah Snook).

Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: This recap contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 4 of “Succession,” now streaming on HBO Max. After standing united against their father for so long, it’s a Roy Sibling Battle Royale on “Succession” once again. Last week’s episode delivered a series-best bombshell that had the entire “Succession” world (and our own) buzzing about the death of Logan Roy (Brian Cox). Somehow, this Sunday’s follow-up cranked the drama and tension even higher, with the Roy extended family wasting no time in plotting the interim Waystar Royco CEO. After the dust settled and the tears dried up, Kendall (Jeremy Strong) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) are the ultimate victors, with Shiv (Sarah Snook) getting left out…for now.

Catherine Bray Set mostly in England, back before it was officially called England — and centuries before Great Britain was so much as a glint in the eye of James I — director Ed Bazalgette’s workmanlike historical epic “The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die” wraps up the events of “The Last Kingdom,” the Netfix drama series based on Bernard Cornwell’s “Saxon Tales” novels. Playing like “Game of Thrones” with more history and fewer dragons, the film opens with several smaller kingdoms, including Northumbria, Mercia and East Anglia, gearing up for a power struggle exacerbated by the recent death of Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, and worsened by the surreptitious attempts of the Danes to sow discord.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Warning: This story contains spoilers from “Connor’s Wedding,” the third episode of “Succession” Season 4, now streaming on HBO Max. If you watched Sunday night’s dramatic third episode of this season’s “Succession,” you bore witness to the death of billionaire CEO Logan Roy, portrayed by two-time lead actor nominee and presumed 2023 Emmy contender Brian Cox. As a result, the burning question on awards pundits’ minds has turned toward a new type of uncertainty — where will Cox seek to campaign for his legendary portrayal as the head of media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar RoyCo? Cox’s acclaimed performance has received multiple accolades for the HBO drama, including those two Emmy nominations for the second and third seasons for lead actor (drama).

Brent Lang Executive Editor “Method acting” long ago lost its meaning. Instead, it’s become a catchall to describe an intense commitment to getting it right on stage or screen. It’s an all-out approach that sees performers pack and shed pounds, feast on live cockroaches or raw bison, extract teeth or eschew showers, and remain in character between takes. Those are just a few examples of the extremes to which Robert De Niro, Christian Bale, Nicolas Cage, Leonardo DiCaprio, Shia LaBeouf, Charlize Theron, Daniel Day-Lewis and their ilk push themselves in the service of their art. For their suffering, they receive Oscars and Emmys, along with a ton of media coverage — just look at the scores of pieces documenting the gonzo things Jared Leto has done each time one of his movies get released.
