The nominations for the 2023 Emmy Awards were unveiled today during a live ceremony broadcast on the official Emmys website, and the horror genre received significant recognition across multiple categories. Among the horror nominees are “Wednesday,” “The Last of Us,” and “Yellowjackets,” as well as the Hulu exclusive Predator movie, “Prey.”

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, last year’s “Prey” has earned a nomination for “Outstanding TV Movie” at the 2023 Emmy Awards, thanks to its direct-to-streaming release strategy. Notably, “Prey” has received nominations in six categories this year, including Writing, Directing, Editing, Music Composition, and Sound Editing, marking a significant triumph for the horror genre.

In terms of overall nominations, Succession leads the pack with 27 Emmy nominations, followed by The Last of Us with 24, The White Lotus with 23, and Ted Lasso with 21.
