No matter who takes home gold at the 2022 Emmys, we’re going to have a lot of first-time winners on TV’s biggest night.
The nominations have been announced, with Succession leading all shows with 25, followed by Ted Lasso and The White Lotus with 20 and Hacks and Only Murders in the Building with 17. And when you take a look at the acting categories alone, there are a whopping 70 stars who could win for the first time. (Sydney Sweeney and Harriet Walter both are nominated twice.)
