her supporting role in “Mare of Easttown.” The
limited series received 16 nods, including for
star Kate Winslet.
Among the others who doubled down on
nominations: “Saturday Night Live” stars Kenan
Thompson and Aidy Bryant, who received
supporting acting bids for the variety show
as well as lead comedy series acting nods for,
respectively, “”Kenan” and “Shrill.”
Other top nominees include previous best
drama series winner “The Handmaid’s Tale,” with
21 nods, tied with “Saturday Night Live”; “The
Queen’s Gambit,” 18; the costume-drama romp
“Bridgerton” and “Hamilton,” with 12 each.
“Lovecraft Country,” a horror-infused drama
set in 1950s segregated America, earned an
impressive 18 nominations — but was canceled
by HBO after one season.
“The Flight Attendant” earned nine nominations,
including a best comedy actress nod for Kaley
Cuoco and a supporting actress bid for Rosie
Perez — who becomes the second Latina
nominated in the category, after Sofia Vergara
for “Modern Family.”
There were surprises, as usual. Nicole Kidman
failed to receive a nomination for limited series
“The Undoing,” while co-star Hugh Grant was
recognized. But the critically acclaimed miniseries
“I May Destroy You” and its star and creator,
Michaela Coel, grabbed nine Emmy nods after
being snubbed by the Golden Globes.
One blast from the past getting new respect:
“Cobra Kai,” set 30 years after the events of the
“Karate Kid” film, earned a best comedy nod and
four nominations in all.
