The 2023 Emmy nominations are here: All of the snubs, surprises, and LGBTQ+ nominees
Queerty‘s personal favorite queer and queer-adjacent series (The White Lotus, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Yellowjackets etc…), as well as some of our favorite LGBTQ+ talent on TV.Below, here’s our round-up of nominees in most of the major categories—as well as some hot takes on who did (and who didn’t) make the cut.
You can find a complete list of nominees on the Emmys website.Queerty’s Hot Takes: There are a lot of returning favorites here (shout out to queer-inclusive faves Abbott Elementary and Only Murders In The Building), but the real story on nomination morning are the newbies.
The Bear—while frequently more dramatic than it is comedic—was a breakout critical hit, and Wednesday (featuring our fave, Hunter Doohan) was a proper blockbuster for Netflix, while the delightful Jury Duty seemed to ride a wave of positive word-of-mouth all the way to the Emmys!
Only thing missing? Our beloved Somebody Somewhere.Queerty’s Hot Takes: As predicted, HBO’s tentpole dramas run the field, and we’re thrilled to see their shows that predominantly feature LGBTQ+ talent in front of and behind the camera show up here.
