2022 Emmy Awards Nominations Revealed: 'Succession,' 'Ted Lasso,' and 'Squid Game' Get Most Nominations
The Television Academy on Tuesday announced its nominees for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards, and it is quite clear which series had the most nominations.
HBO's "Succession" leads with 25 nominations, followed by "Ted Lasso" and "The White Lotus" with 20 nominations each. "Only Murders in the Building" received 17 nods, while "Squid Game" follows behind the Top 4 with 14 nominations.
The announcement is also heating up the growing rivalry between HBO and Netflix, with HBO and HBO Max leading this year with 140 combined nominations and their rival Netflix with 105.
Despite HBO getting a combined number, the network still holds more nominations than its rival, as HBO alone got 108 nominations without HBO Max's number of nominations, according to Variety.
However, it won't be until the awarding ceremony on September 12 that we will know which streaming service truly won this year.

2022 Emmy Awards Lack Latino Representation
The 2022 Emmy Awards had a stronger representation of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community and Asians in general.
"Squid Game" certainly contributed to that, along with Sandrah Oh, Himesh Patel, Bowen Yang, and other members of the AAPI community, according to Variety. However, the same cannot be said for Latinos.
Oscar Isaac certainly deserved his nomination for his performance in HBO's "Scenes from a Marriage." However, he and Afro-Latino Colman Domingo (Guest Actor in a Drama Series - "Euphoria") were the only Latino nominees this year.
Many have pointed out that Selena Gomez's performance from "Only Murders in the Building" was snubbed. However, she did receive a nomination as an executive producer for the show. She is the only second Latina to receive that nomination after Salma Hayek.
