The 2023 Emmy Award nominations were announced on July 12, honoring performances and programs across multiple media platforms. The 75th annual awards recognize shows that premiered between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. Among this year’s nominees are several actors who recently appeared on Broadway or who are slated to return to the Main Stem in the months ahead. Additionally, the 75th annual Tony Awards broadcast, which aired in 2022, was nominated.
The 75th Tony Awards received two nods: one for Outstanding Variety Special (Live) and one for Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction for a Variety Special.
In the acting categories, multiple actors from the 2022-2023 Broadway season — as well as those slated for the upcoming season — are, notably, among the nominees.
Jessica Chastain and Arian Moayed, both last seen on the Main Stem in the 2023 Tony-nominated revival of “A Doll’s House,” each garnered nods: Chastain in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her work as Tammy in “George & Tammy” and Moayed for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for “Succession.”
Annaleigh Ashford, currently starring as Mrs. Lovett in “Sweeney Todd,” received her first Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Or Anthology Series or Movie category for her role as Irene Banerjee in the mini-series “Welcome to Chippendales.”
Rachel Brosnahan, who recently starred in the 2023 revival of “The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window,” received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her work in the titular role on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
Sheryl Lee Ralph, who was on the producing team of the recent “Ohio State Murders” revival and last appeared onstage as Madame Morrible in “Wicked,” earned recognition in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on “Abbott Elementary.” The Tony-nominated actor took home the trophy in this same category in 2022.
Four-time Tony winner Nathan Lane — last seen on Broadway in this past season’s “Pictures From Home” — received a nod for his appearance on “Only Murders In The Building” as an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.
“Succession” star Jeremy Strong, who is set to return to the Main Stem in a new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People” in 2024, received a nomination in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category.
Daniel Radcliffe, who will return to Broadway with the revival of “Merrily We Roll Along” later this year, is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category for taking on the title role in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.”
Several other notable Broadway performers also received nominations for their work including F. Murray Abraham, Julie Andrews, Tony nominee Christina Applegate, Becky Ann Baker, Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Tony winner Christopher Gattelli, two-time Tony winner Cherry Jones, three-time Tony winner Judith Light, Pedro Pascal, Tony nominee Michael Shannon, Tony winner Martin Short and Hannah Waddingham.
