2022 Emmy nominees: Netflix’s Kanye West doc, Donald Glover, and Lizzo get nods
The awards show takes place on September 22.
The full list of nominees for the 2022 Emmy Awards has been released ahead of the awards show's airing this September 22 on ABC. The most-nominated program on the list as HBO's family dynasty drama Succession with 25. After that, Ted Lazzo and The White Lotus each got 20 nominations, making it a good year for comedies of all kinds.
The unusual quality of music documentaries and productions didn't go unnoticed, either. Netflix's three-part, decades-spanning epic jeen-yus: A Kanye Story received a nomination for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction series; Peter Jackson's The Beatles: Get Back also received a nod in the same category along with four other nominations. Lizzo’s variety show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls got six Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Competition Program, where it'll go up against RuPaul's Drag Race.
As usual, FX's Atlanta got some love. It's nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Donald Glover), Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Cinematography For A Single-Camera Series (Half-Hour).
