Emmy nominations were announced on Tuesday, and “Succession” picked up the most nods with 25, while stars Zendaya (“Euphoria”) and Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”) made history. While reacting to the noms, “The Take” hosts discuss the snubs of major celebrities like Selena Gomez for “Only Murders in the Building.” Also, we address the issue of multiple actors from the same series being recognized, such as “Ted Lasso” and “The White Lotus.” Is this a problem, and can it be fixed?
