Nominees for the 75th annual Emmy Awards have been announced, and HBO’s The Last of Us is one of the pack leaders with the most nominations, second only to HBO’s satirical comedy-drama Succession.
If our count is correct, the video game-adaption is up for 25 awards. These range from Outstanding Production Design to Outstading Guest Actor/Actress in a Drama Series (4 and 3 nods, respectively), Hairstyling to Main Title Design, and the arts such as makeup, visiual effects, and music composition.
It is up for some of the bigger awards too such as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Pedro Pascal), Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Bella Ramsey), Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Short Form Nonfiction or Reality Series, and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series (Craig Mazin).
