Succession

Succession on Monday walked away with the Outstanding Drama Prize at the 2022 Emmy Awards for its acclaimed third season. This is the second time the HBO drama ...

[Dream Emmy](https://tvline.com/lists/emmys-best-drama-series-dream-nominations-2022/succession/) blurb for Succession, we wrote that “HBO’s corporate tragicomedy is the blue-chip stock of TV dramas, topping itself yet again with a masterful Season 3 that saw the Roys jockeying for position as Kendall declared all-out war on his father, Logan. A power struggle ensues as the family weighs up a future where their cultural and political weight is severely curtailed.” This is the second time the HBO drama snagged the top drama prize, following its first win in 2020 for Season 2.

It was the sixth time in eight years that HBO has taken the television industry's biggest prize for a recurring series. “Ted Lasso” won best comedy.

[Michael Keaton](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/30/magazine/michael-keaton-interview.html), who played a small town doctor in “Dopesick,” took the best actor award in a limited series. [Netflix, which lost subscribers](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/19/business/media/netflix-earnings.html) this year for the first time in a decade, has laid off hundreds of staffers and is reining in its spending. Producers for the Emmys incorporated an element that it experimented with at last year’s ceremony, which took place inside a tent: Instead of theater-style seating, nominees were gathered around tables with bottles of champagne and wine around them. It was only the second time a Black woman won the award (Lena Waithe was the first, in 2017, for “Master of None”). Quinta Brunson, the creator of the good-natured ABC workplace sitcom, “Abbott Elementary,” about a group of elementary schoolteachers at an underfunded Philadelphia public school, won for best writing in a comedy. Emmy voters often have a habit of finding a winner, and sticking with it, and this year was no different. And Jason Sudeikis repeated as best actor in a comedy as the fish-out-of-water soccer coach in “Ted Lasso.” Her victory was also historic: It was only the second time a Black woman won the award. Business challenges aside, the night was mostly a feel-good celebration. And performers from the show, [Murray Bartlett](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/10/style/murray-bartlett-of-the-white-lotus-shucks-his-oyster.html) and [Jennifer Coolidge](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/12/arts/television/jennifer-coolidge-emmy-the-white-lotus.html), both received acting Emmys. It was the sixth time in eight years that HBO has taken the television industry’s biggest prize for a recurring series, making it yet another triumphant night for the cable network. Jesse Armstrong, the show’s creator, also took home the Emmy for best writing, the third time he’s won in that category.

'Succession' showrunner Jesse Armstrong suggested his Emmy win was more 'legitimate' than King Charles III's accession to the throne.

The sale of the media conglomerate, led by Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and targeted by disowned son Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) in a coup, is underway.

HBO’s strong showing followed a year in which Netflix tied a 47-year-old record (originally set by CBS) with a total of 44 Emmys across the Creative Arts and main telecast. Hosted by “Saturday Night Live’s” Kenan Thompson (and including a mini-reunion with former co-star Kel Mitchell), the ceremony bounced along at an awkward pace. This year’s show moved from its usual Sunday broadcast because it’s airing on NBC, which carries “Sunday Night Football.” Mike White also won for both writing and directing the series. There was, as usual, a fair amount of repetition, and a whole lot of bleeped-out words. First-time nominees Murray Bartlett and Jennifer Coolidge were also recognized for “White Lotus,” with the latter having to overcome four of her co-stars in the bountiful cast. The show had previously earned a quartet of victories at the Creative Arts ceremony. Adding the earlier ceremonies with Monday night, HBO totaled 38 Emmys this year, far ahead of second-place Netflix, at 26. The pay network was led by the limited series “The White Lotus,” whose five awards on Monday night – coupled with a handful of technical prizes at the earlier Creative Arts ceremonies – let it check out with 10 overall wins this season, more than any other program. Ralph brought energy to a telecast that probably could have used more of her. HBO collected 12 of the 25 statuettes awarded at Monday’s ceremony. (Like CNN, HBO is a unit of Warner Bros.
