If Variety Had an Emmy Ballot 2023: We Love ‘Jury Duty’ and ‘Vanderpump Rules’ and Yes, ‘The Bear’ is a Drama1

With too much television, viewing every piece of content that is up for consideration for this years Primetime Emmy Awards nominations is impossible. With 163 drama series, 95 comedies, 51 limited or anthologies and 61 television movies, every TV-goer has their tastes.

Variety staffers have come together to curate its own dream Primetime Emmys ballot, with voting set to close at 10 p.m. PT tonight.

However, it should be noted we love consistency, especially in TV land.

With our selections, we want to continue to promote (and advocate) for the Television Academy to allow 10 nominees in the top series categories. In addition, we would love to see uniformity in the acting races (having some categories with five while others have eight doesnt make much sense. With this large TV boom, more options should be available for the respective lineups.

We also dont play by the rules of submissions. If we felt a show fared better in one genre versus another (i.e., The Bear) or a performer felt like a leading entry as opposed to a supporting (i.e., Brian Cox), then we recognized as such. We also combined all of the reality (competition, structured and unstructured), variety (talk series, scripted variety, pre-recorded and live) and documentary (series, special and hosted nonfiction) into each of their respective races. Not every type of show needs its own category.

From the list below, youll find the expected critically acclaimed suspects, such as the HBO final seasons of Barry and Succession and AMCs Better Call Saul. We loved the new genre breakouts of the year, such as Andor, House of the Dragon and The Last of Us, but also the ones that get ignored such as Paramounts Star Trek: Picard with Patrick Stewart and Disneys The Mandalorian with Katie Sackoff.

Youll find inventive and passionate choices that many of us are crossing our fingers for, like Freevees Jury Duty (please find love for James Marsden), Netflixs Mo (not talked about enough by the general public) and Prime Videos Swarm (which cements the star power of Dominique Fishback).
