Outstanding Lead and Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

The new Mr. Fantastic, Pedro Pascal, has gotten himself a nomination for Lead Actor in a Drama Series for season two of The Last of Us, after emotionally destroying fans of the franchise all around with his performance. Actor Noah Wyle was also nominated for his lead role in The Pitt as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, and this will be his sixth Emmy nomination in his acting career.

Gary Oldman also earned himself a nomination in Slow Horses, as well as Sterling K. Brown for Paradise, and of course… You can’t forget about Adam Scott in the widely praised and enticing series’ Severance’.

Seven lucky actors were nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. First, Zach Cherry was nominated for his role in Severance, as was Tramell Tillman in the same project. The White Lotus is a popular hit in this category, as Sam Rockwell, Jason Isaacs, and Walton Goggins have also gotten themselves nominations for their role in the hit drama series. And of course, we can’t fail to mention the wonderful John Turturro for his work in Severance as well.

Outstanding Lead and Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

When it comes to this year’s Emmy nominations for leading ladies, there are some big names in the spotlight. Kathy Bates scored a nod for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work on Matlock, and Sharon Horgan is in the running too for her role in Bad Sisters. Over on Severance, Britt Lower picked up a nomination alongside her co-star Adam Scott, who’s also up for Outstanding Lead Actor.

Another standout pair is Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, both nominated for The Last of Us. Bella has been open about her struggles with emetophobia and used her season two press tour to raise awareness for that community — her honesty and talent have really helped shape her career and this nomination is proof of that. And let’s not forget Keri Russell, who grabbed a Lead Actress nomination for her role as Kate Wyler in The Diplomat.

In the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category, there’s a great mix of fan favorites and surprises. Patricia Arquette is nominated for Severance, and Julianne Nicholson is in the running for Paradise. And of course, Katherine LaNasa, who plays everyone’s favorite charge nurse Dana Evans on The Pitt (or as Attending Dr. Robby would say, “The Pitt, not ours”), also scored a well-deserved nomination.

One of the biggest surprises this year is just how much the women of The White Lotus are dominating this category. Parker Posey caused a “tsunami” with her nomination for her scene-stealing performance. Natasha Rothwell, Aimee Lou Wood, and Carrie Coon all picked up nominations too for their work on the show.

He’s joined by Ike Barinholtz for The Studio, Jeff Hiller for Somebody Somewhere, Colman Domingo for The Four Seasons, and Michael Urie for The Shrinking. And let’s not forget the legendary Harrison Ford, who’s finally getting his first-ever Emmy nomination — pretty amazing after all these years.

Two actors from The Last of Us are up for nominations in this category — both Jeffrey Wright and Joe Pantoliano scored nods for their guest roles in the HBO Max series. Forest Whitaker also landed a spot on the list for his role as Saw Gerrera in Andor, which made Star Wars fans pretty happy to see him back.

Scott Glenn is nominated for The White Lotus, and Giancarlo Esposito grabbed a nomination for The Boys. And you can’t forget Shawn Hatosy, who jokingly calls himself “just your average everyday icon” on TikTok — he’s nominated for his guest role in The Pitt as Dr. Jack Abbott, a night shift attending doc with a military medicine background.

Actresses nominated for this category include three for Severance.

Jane Alexander, Gwendoline Christie, and Merritt Wever have all been nominated for their standout guest appearances this year. Catherine O’Hara added another Emmy nod to her list too, this time for The Last of Us, along with Kaitlyn Dever, who also got recognized for her role in the same show. Dever played the controversial character Abby — the one who broke so many hearts when she killed Joel early in the season. Her performance may have made fans furious, but it definitely made an impact, and that’s what earned her this nomination. And finally, Cherry Jones is also nominated in this category for her work on The Handmaid’s Tale.
