Nicholas Braun (‘Succession’): Emmys 2023 episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Nicholas Braun is entering the “Succession” episode “America Decides” as his 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Supporting Actor. “America Decides” aired on May 14, 2023, and is the eighth episode of the HBO drama’s fourth and final season.

“America Decides” takes place on the night of the United States Presidential Election where uncertainty over the voting results throws the Roy children into disarray over their own decidedly self-serving alliances. Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) tries to manage an increasingly chaotic newsroom, while Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) spar over the consequences of the result for themselves, the company and the country. Armstrong has cited the real-life 1960, 2000 and 2016 U.S. elections as inspirations for “America Decides.” The episode was written by series creator Jesse Armstrong and directed by Andrij Parekh.
