Afternoon Tea: The Emmy nominations were announced and "Succession" received 27 nominations

The Emmy nominations were announced today. "Succession" received 27 nominations including Best Drama, Best Actress, and three of its actors have been nominated for Best Actor (including Brian Cox). Wowzers!

Following behind was "The Last of Us" with 24 nominations and "White Lotus" with 23. If you do drunk math it means these three shows dominated almost 75% of the nominations in major categories.

Meanwhile, at  the "Too Bad, Better Luck Next Time" corner of the cafeteria sits Selena Gomez and Steve Martin (Only Murders in the Building), Kevin Costner (Yellowstone), and Harrison Ford (1923, and Shrinking) who were all snubbed. 

Oh, and in case you're wondering if the Duke & Duchess of Netflix were nominated for their documentary...the envelope please: 

NOPE.

Not even for categories that would exist in my version of the Emmys: "Best Performance by Two Co-Dependents" or "Most Likely To Throw You Under a Bus".  I'd give them to "Succession".

After serving for seven years, she clandestinely established the Reserve Sewer Capital Development Account (RSCDA) and utilized it to siphon off nearly $2.5 million annually from the city. By 2008, she had illicitly obtained a staggering $5.8 million, a substantial portion of Dixon's modest annual budget, which ranged between $8-9 million.

She established and operated RC Quarter Horses, a renowned horse breeding enterprise, with her horses achieving an impressive 52 world championships. Additionally, she acquired a 45-foot motorhome and indulged in extended vacations.
