]]>Past Lives came into the night as one of the front-runners for the best feature award and defeated All of Us Strangers, American Fiction, May December, Passages, and We Grown Now to take it home. Celine Song brought the film’s win total to two after collecting the trophy for the best director.
The Holdovers was also among the night’s biggest winners with three trophies, including acting accolades for its stars Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa. American Fiction was right behind with two awards, including best lead performance (Jeffrey Wright) and best screenplay (Cord Jefferson).
Beef led the way in the television categories and won two of the night’s biggest awards – best new scripted series and best lead performance (Ali Wong).

]]>The post 2023 Emmy Nominations: “Succession”, “The Last of Us” & “The White Lotus” Lead HBO’s Sweep appeared first on TheDailyDay.
]]>Succession recently ended its run after four seasons, and its final chapter is getting credit where credit is due. It’s one of the main contenders for the best drama series award this year, along with The Last of Us, The White Lotus, AMC’s Better Call Saul, Netflix’s The Crown, HBO’s House of the Dragon, and Showtime’s Yellowjackets.
Succession scored a total of 27 nods, including 14 in the main field, largely thanks to its brilliant ensemble cast. Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen, Alan Ruck, Alexander Skarsgård, and J. Smith-Cameron all received acting nods in their respective field.
When it comes to comedy categories, Ted Lasso is having another amazing year with a total of 21 nods, including eight in the main field. The competition for the outstanding limited or anthology series will also be tough, but Netflix’s Beef is the main contender right now, with a total of 13 nods, including nine in the main categories.
The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on September 18, unless the date ends up being postponed due to the ongoing WGA strike.

]]>The post HBO Renews “The Last of Us” for Season 2 Following Its Impressive Debut appeared first on TheDailyDay.
]]>The Last of Us draws inspiration from Naughty Dog’s acclaimed video game of the same name, and its adaptation was a long time coming. Hardened survivor Joel takes center stage in this series, as we watch him embark on a journey across post-apocalyptic America in an attempt to smuggle a teenage girl Ellie out of an oppressive quarantine zone.
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey take lead roles in this series, and they’re in pretty good company since its supporting cast includes Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, and Storm Reid.
Craig Mazin, who co-created the series alongside the game’s author Neil Druckmann, credited the fans for its overnight success and thanked them for giving them a chance to continue telling this story.
“I’m so grateful to Neil Druckmann and HBO for our partnership, and I’m even more grateful to the millions of people who have joined us on this journey… As a fan of the characters and world Neil and Naughty Dog created, I couldn’t be more ready to dive back in,” said Mazin in a statement.

]]>The Last of Us is will take us to a post-apocalyptic future, where a hardened survivor Joel must smuggle a teenage girl Ellie from an oppressive quarantine zone, 20 years after modern civilization. They embark on a brutal, heartbreaking journey across the US, depending on each other for survival.
Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (Catherine Called Birdy) play lead roles in this project after previously both starring on HBO’s Game of Thrones. Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, and Storm Reid round out the supporting cast.
Neil Druckmann, one of the directors of Naughty Dog’s original game, created this show alongside Craig Mazin (Chernobyl). The first season will feature nine episodes, covering the events of the first game. Mazin said they’re open to working on more seasons if the first one is well-received.
The Last Of Us will premiere on HBO on January 15, 2023, with new episodes airing weekly.

]]>The Last of Us draws inspiration from Naughty Dog’s acclaimed video game of the same name, and its adaptation was a long time coming. Hardened survivor Joel takes center stage in this series, as we watch him embark on a journey across post-apocalyptic America in an attempt to smuggle a teenage girl Ellie out of an oppressive quarantine zone.
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey take lead roles in this series, and they’re in pretty good company since its supporting cast includes Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, and Storm Reid.
Craig Mazin, who co-created the series alongside the game’s author Neil Druckmann, credited the fans for its overnight success and thanked them for giving them a chance to continue telling this story.
“I’m so grateful to Neil Druckmann and HBO for our partnership, and I’m even more grateful to the millions of people who have joined us on this journey… As a fan of the characters and world Neil and Naughty Dog created, I couldn’t be more ready to dive back in,” said Mazin in a statement.

They embark on a brutal, heartbreaking journey across the US, depending on each other for survival.
Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (Catherine Called Birdy) play lead roles in this project after previously both starring on HBO’s Game of Thrones. Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, and Storm Reid round out the supporting cast.
Neil Druckmann, one of the directors of Naughty Dog’s original game, created this show alongside Craig Mazin (Chernobyl). The first season will feature nine episodes, covering the events of the first game. Mazin said they’re open to working on more seasons if the first one is well-received.
The Last Of Us will premiere on HBO on January 15, 2023, with new episodes airing weekly.
