Find out who made the cut (and who didn’t).
The 2022 Emmys are tonight, and history could be made. This year, Squid Game became the first non-English language series to be nominated in the main Drama category. Before this, Squid Game was the first non-English drama to win awards for the best male and female actors at this year’s SAG Awards. Now that’s how history is made!
If you watched Squid Game, and became as infatuated with its twists and turns as the rest of the world, you might have predicted this, though.
Another predictable nominee? Succession, which took the lead with 25 nominations, followed by Ted Lasso and The White Lotus, which bagged 20 nominations each.
Katie was happy to hear Colin Firth and Toni Collette were nominated for their roles in The Staircase — she watched the show and was blown away by their performances.
If you’re among those who like to catch up on the world’s funny (and decidedly non-funny) news, you probably aren’t that Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver are competing for the “Best Variety Talk Series” this year.
Of course, this is just a sneak peek into the list of 2022 Emmy nominees, which we have in full below. But you’ll have to wait till tonight to see who wins. We’ll definitely be tuning in to find out if Squid Game will take home some well-deserved statues!
