The third season of HBO’s Emmy-winning drama Succession wraps up this week, and the nominations for the actors’ performances in this harrowing season have begun to roll in. The series leads this year’s Critics Choice Awards with eight nominations, including Best Drama Series. HBO rakes in the most nominations for its shows with 20 total, but Netflix follows close behind with 18.

Succession stars Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong will duke it out for Best Actor in a Drama Series, while Nicholas Braun, Kieran Culkin, and Matthew Macfadyen all earned nominations for Best Supporting Actor In A Drama Series. J. Smith-Cameron and Sarah Snook have both been nominated for Best Supporting Actress In A Drama Series.

Other big nomination scorers this year is the Kate Winslet-led miniseries HBO’s Mare Of Easttown and Paramount+’s Evil with five nominations each.

For comedy series this year the competition’s a little stiffer with Only Murders In The Building, Ted Lasso, The Other Two, and FX’s mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows earning several nominations each.

Kayvan Novak and Harvey Guillén have received nods for their performances of the depressed vampire Nandor The Relentless and Guillermo the familiar/bodyguard, respectively, in What We Do In The Shadows. From Ted Lasso, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jason Sudeikis are all competing in their respective acting categories.

In the limited series categories, Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett have been nominated for their roles in HBO’s The White Lotus. Netflix sweeps with noms in the miniseries and made for TV movie categories with Midnight Mass and Maid, but also fills up the foreign language category with Call My Agent!, Lupin, Squid Game, Narcos: Mexico, and Money Heist.
