Steven Yeun’s “Beef” receives 11 nominations at 75th Emmy Awards “Will it be able to continue Squid Game’s craze?”
Netflix’s original series “Beef”, in which a large number of actors and producers of Korean descent (including Steven Yeun) took part, was predicted to conquer the Emmy Awards.
According to the nominations for the 75th Emmy Awards announced by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences on July 13th (KST), the series “Beef” starring Steven Yeun (directed, produced and written by Lee Sung Jin) received 13 nominations in 11 categories.
“Beef” tells the story of two people whose involvement in a road rage incident pits them against each other. Aside from Steven Yeun, actors of Korean descent such as Joseph Lee and Young Mazino appeared, drawing high attention in Korea.
“Beef” was nominated in a number of major categories, including “Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie” (Lee Sung Jin), “Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie” (Lee Sung Jin), “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie” (Steven Yeun), “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie” (Ali Wong) and “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie” (Joseph Lee, Young Mazino).
At the 74th Emmy Awards held in September last year, Netflix’s series “Squid Game” swept 6 categories, attracting attention. “Squid Game” was the first K-content to receive the honor of winning the Emmy Awards. “Squid Game” won major categories such as “Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series” and “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series”, showing that K-contents’ status reached the global ranks both in name and reality. Attention is focused on whether “Beef”, in which a large number of actors and producers of Korean descent took part, will be able to continue the craze of “Squid Game” last year at this year’s Emmy Awards.
Meanwhile, the work with the most nominations was HBO Max’s “Succession”. This drama was nominated in 27 categories, including “Outstanding Drama Series”. HBO Max’s works “The Last of Us” and “The White Lotus” were also nominated in 23 categories, raising HBO Max’s pride. In the comedy series category, Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” was nominated in 21 categories and expected to win many awards.
