The Bear’ went on a tear at Wednesday morning’s Emmy nominations (23), and ‘Shogun’ led all nominees with 25 in a dominant year across categories for FX, an AP report from Los Angeles stated yesterday.

Nominations for the ‘The Bear’ ,up for its second season in which its rag-tag band of sandwich makers tries to create an elite restaurant, included best comedy series and best actor in a comedy series for Jeremy Allen White — both awards it won at January’s strike-delayed ceremony — along with best actress for Ayo Edebiri, who won best supporting actress last time around.

‘Shogun’ took full advantage of the absence of last year’s top three nominees – ‘Succession,’ ‘The White Lotus’ and ‘The Last of Us’ – to dominate in drama and give FX, with 93 overall nominations, the kind of strong year often reserved for HBO, which even in this ‘off’ year received 91.

Its nominations included best drama series, best actress in a drama series for Anna Sawai and best actor for Hiroyuki ‘Shogun’ Sanada.

The show shook up the drama race when its makers said in May that despite reaching the end of the story of James Clavell’s novel about political machinations in early 17th century Japan, they would explore making more than one season, shifting the critical darling from the limited series category to the more prestigious drama one.

‘True Detective: Night Country’ was a bright spot for HBO, which lost ‘Succession’ to retirement and is between seasons on ‘The White Lotus’ and ‘The Last of Us’.

‘True Detective’ is expected to vie for the best limited series Emmy with ‘Fargo’ which had 15 nominations and gives FX a shot at a triple crown if its favourites win drama and comedy series.

Netflix has its own pair of contenders in the category. ‘Baby Reindeer’ became a minor cultural phenomenon and Emmy upstart in recent months. It got 11 nominations, including best actor for star and creator Richard Gadd. ‘Ripley’, a black-and-white retelling of Patricia Highsmith’s novel ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’, got 13 nominations including acting nods for Andrew Scott and Dakota Fanning. The shows along dozens of acknowledgements in craft and comedy special categories, helped Netflix lead all outlets with 107 nominations.

Foster was another of the Academy Award winners to get Emmy nods, along with fellow multiple Oscar winner Meryl Streep, up for best supporting actress in a comedy for ‘Only Murders in the Building’, reigning best supporting actor winner Robert Downey Jr., up for best supporting actor in a limited series for playing several characters in ‘The Sympathizer’ and Gary Oldman, up for best actor in a drama series for ‘Slow Horses’.

‘Only Murders’, a perennial Emmy nominee for Hulu with few wins, outdid itself this year with 21, behind only ‘Shogun’ and ‘The Bear’. Leads Steve Martin and Martin Short were nominated for best actor, and, in her first Emmy nomination as a performer, Selena Gomez got a nod for best actress.

‘The Crown’ with 19 nominations and ‘Hacks’ with 16 each make triumphant returns to the Emmys after their own years off. Each had especially acclaimed seasons.

Elizabeth Debicki is considered the closest thing in these Emmys to a lock to win best supporting actress in a drama for playing Princess Diana in the last days before her death in the sixth and final season of ‘The Crown’.

And Jean Smart will vie with Edebiri for best actress in a comedy for the third season of ‘Hacks’, in which her comedian Deborah Vance tries to land a late-night show.

Ralph and fellow Emmy winner Tony Hale announced the nominations Wednesday morning.
