There is category drama brewing in the race for the 2023 Lead Actor in a Drama Series Emmy Award trophy. The third episode of “Succession’s” final season saw Brian Cox’s character, Logan Roy, pass away (and if that’s a spoiler, you’ve been living under a rock).

After snagging the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards earlier this year, you’d assume that Evan Peters is the frontrunner to take the Emmy Award for his role in Netflix’s blockbuster streaming hit “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” And the Television Academy has already demonstrated its love for the Ryan Murphy mainstay after he took the Supporting Actor trophy in this field for “Mare of Easttown” in 2021.

Is Jason Sudekis going to pull of a triple crown? The “Ted Lasso” co-creator won the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy in 2021 and 2022 and is gunning for a third win for the Apple TV+ breakout’s final season. The last time any actor pulled off three wins in a row was Michael J.

Cox’s acclaimed performance has received multiple accolades for the HBO drama, including those two Emmy nominations for the second and third seasons for lead actor (drama).
