‘Succession’ has made Emmy history after its three lead actors earned nominations for best actor in a drama.
Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong’s nominations mark the most nods ever in the awards for a single show.
Jeremy, 44, won the lead actor Emmy in 2020 and was also nominated in 2020, beating his co-star Brian, 77, both years.
Alexander Skarsgård was also nominated in the outstanding supporting actor in a drama series category for his role as a tech mogul in ‘Succession’. Last year, ‘Succession’ also made Emmy history for the most acting nod ever, with 14 acting nominations out of 25 total nods.
Kieran, Nicholas Braun, 35 – who played Cousin Greg on the show – and 48-year-old winner Matthew Macfadyen were all up for supporting actor in a drama in 2022, while J Smith-Cameron, 65, and Sarah Snook, 35, who plays Logan’s daughter, were both nominated for supporting actress.
A year before, Ann Dowd, 67, Yvonne Strahovski, 40, Samira Wiley, 36, and Madeline Brewer, 31, were all nominated for supporting actress in a drama for ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’.
Also in 2021, ‘The Crown’ stars Olivia Colman, 49, and Emma Corrin, 27 , were both nominated for lead actress in a drama.
