Jenna Ortega & Daniel Radcliffe Just Got Emmy Nominations & Ryan Reynolds Could Win One Too
The 2023 Emmy nominations are out and there’s a legit chance that Daniel Radcliffe, Ryan Reynolds and Jenna Ortega could all win on a night that’s also shaping up to be dominated by Succession and The White Lotus.
TV’s version of the Oscars dropped its 2023 nominations on Wednesday and there are a ton of shows getting nods this year, from new hits like The Last Of Us, Daisy Jones & The Six and Wednesday to series that said goodbye, including Ted Lasso and Better Call Saul.
Succession leads all other shows with 27 nominations, including a boatload of acting nods for the cast. Kieran Culkin, Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong are all up for Best Actor in a Drama Series, although there are a few others in the category including the internet's daddy Pedro Pascal for The Last Of Us, which was shot in Calgary, Alberta.
Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega earned a Best Actress, Comedy nomination for Netflix's Wednesday, while Daniel Radcliffe is up for Best Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie for his comic performance in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
The Supporting Actress, Drama category is absolutely dominated by The White Lotus, with five different actresses from the show up for the award, including Aubrey Plaza and Jennifer Coolidge.
Martin Short is the only Canadian directly nominated for a major award (Best Actor, Comedy for Only Murders In The Building), but Ryan Reynolds' docu-series Welcome To Wrexham did get a bunch of technical nominations along with a nod for Best Unstructured Reality Program. The competition for that award includes Netflix's Selling Sunset and Indian Matchmaking.
"The story of Wrexham has resonated with millions of people because you don't have to be Welsh or a football fan to be moved by this town," Reynolds tweeted after the Emmy announcement. "We are so grateful for today's 6 Emmy Nominations and are continuously honored the people of Wrexham allow us to tell their tale."
Disney's Star Wars franchise earned its first big Emmy nomination with Andor, which was nominated for Best Drama and Best Drama Writing. House Of The Dragon, HBO's first Game Of Thrones prequel, also earned a nomination for Best Outstanding Drama.
One of the funniest nominations on the list might be a Best Supporting Actor, Comedy nod for James Marsden, who plays himself in Jury Duty.

When are the 2023 Emmy Awards?
The 2023 Emmy Awards are currently scheduled for Monday, September 18 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
The ceremony will honour TV shows that aired between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023, which is why you're seeing shows from both years on the nominee list.
No host has been set for the show and the date itself could be moved, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That's because there's currently a major writers' strike going on in Hollywood and the actors' union could be joining them in the weeks ahead. If either or both of those groups are still on strike in September, the Emmys could be delayed.
Who got the most Emmy nominations in 2023?
HBO's Succession got the most Emmy Award nominations in 2023 with 27 noms, although it wasn't the only HBO show to capture attention. The Last Of Us was second with 24 nominations and The White Lotus had 23.
Was The Bear nominated for an Emmy?
The Bear actually picked up several 2023 Emmy Award nominations including recognition for Best Outstanding Comedy Series and best Comedy Actor (Jeremy Allen White). Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Jon Bernthal and Oliver Platt all got nominations in their supporting actor categories.
It's worth adding that these noms are for Season 1 of the show, which aired in June 2022. Season 2 just dropped and will be up for awards in 2023.
Thank you, Chef!
