Nominations for the 74th annual Emmys were announced on Tuesday with Succession and Ted Lasso leading the pack. Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and J.B. Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm) read the list of nominees on a livestream.
HBO’s Succession, which chronicles a ruthless family and its media empire, had the most nominations with 25, followed by the Apple TV+ soccer comedy Ted Lasso with 20 nods.
HBO’s other smash hit Euphoria gained 16 nominations. The show follows a group of teens dealing with drug addiction and coming to terms with their sexuality. FX’s uproarious vampire comedy What We Do In The Shadows snagged nominations for writing and Best Comedy, but, criminally, came up empty-handed in the acting department.
HBO’s White Lotus, however, did extremely well in the acting categories, snagging an astounding eight nominations for its cast, including Murray Bartlett, the resort’s harried gay general manager. The show’s creator, Mike White, also received nods for writing and directing.
RuPaul’s Drag Race garnered four nominations. The VH1 show’s namesake made history at last year’s 73rd Emmys, becoming the most-awarded person of color in the award show’s history with eleven wins.
Openly gay actor/writer Bowen Yang (Fire Island)was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on Saturday Night Live, while co-star Kate McKinnon was nominated on the same show as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
Netflix’s Squid Game made history by being the first non-English-language show to compete in the best drama category, squaring 14 nominations.

"I'm mainly exhausted at this point," Bosco says of the political attacks that have been lobbed against members of the transgender community. "It's just never-ending. It's just this deluge of hate that keeps on happening.
"But the thing with a lot of right-wing talking points is they pick a boogeyman or some sort of scapegoat and they change it about every ten years," the trans drag performer adds. "It's been trans people for a while, it's been Mexican people, it's been Black people, it's been any sort of 'other' that they can then manipulate people into being afraid of, and then they can blame all of the problems in the country on that one group of people. And right now trans people are taking the brunt of it."

Jason De Puy, the RuPaul's Drag Race alum better known by his stage persona, Salina EsTitties, will compete on season 28 of the CBS reality competition Big Brother.
As EsTitties, De Puy competed on season 15 of Drag Race and season 11 of Drag Race All Stars, finishing sixth and ninth, respectively.
De Puy will compete out of drag on Big Brother -- although it wouldn't be surprising if Salina EsTitties made a brief appearance, as Courtney Act did in series 21 of the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother. According to Entertainment Weekly, De Puy is the first Drag Race contestant to compete on the American version of the reality show.

When Alaska Thunderfuck was dating her former partner, fellow drag queen and the winner of the fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Sharon Needles, they used to play the radio as white noise when they’d go to sleep. But in the mornings, at a certain hour, they’d be awoken by the rantings of right-wing radio host Glenn Beck.
“We would listen to it sort of as a camp factor of how preposterous it was, because he’s really a drag queen,” the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 2 says, referring to Beck’s over-the-top characterizations of political scenarios, his theatrical method of storytelling, and his emotional, excitable style of talking.
