COMPETITION FOR HBO

This year, HBO didn’t have Succession to bolster its Emmy nominations count, giving Netflix and FX an edge. Netflix leads with 107 nominations for programmes including Baby Reindeer and Ripley.

FX comes in second, bolstered by the continued roar of The Bear and newcomer Shogun.

HBO has 91 nominations. Even without Ted Lasso, Apple TV+ also did well with 70 nods including for The Morning Show and Slow Horses.
