‘The White Lotus’ submits 15 actors for 2023 Emmys, including Jennifer Coolidge in supporting, Jon Gries in guest

All of your favorite SAG Award-winning cast members from “The White Lotus” Season 2 are back in the awards conversation yet again, this time for the 2023 Emmys. The Emmy ballots were officially unveiled on the Television Academy’s website on June 15, the same day nominations-round voting began (it will conclude on June 26 at 10:00 p.m.), and 15 actors from HBO’s drama series have been submitted for Emmy consideration.

Top of the heap in terms of visibility is Jennifer Coolidge. The beloved actress won an Emmy last year for the first season of “The White Lotus” (back when it was still classified as a limited series) and then went on to prevail at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice and SAG Awards. This time around she’s competing in Best Drama Supporting Actress alongside six of her co-stars: Meghann Fahy, Beatrice Grannò, Sabrina Impacciatore, Aubrey Plaza, Haley Lu Richardson and Simona Tabasco.

Over in the corresponding category for Best Drama Supporting Actor, there are seven men vying for Emmy’s attention. Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham (“Amadeus”) brings a special awards clout with him to the voting proceedings, and he’s joined by the likes of Adam DiMarco, Tom Hollander, Michael Imperioli, Theo James, Will Sharpe and Leo Woodall.

The 15th cast member submitted for an Emmy this year is Jon Gries, who’s competing alone in Best Drama Guest Actor. Since his character left near the beginning of Season 2, Gries appeared in less than 50% of the episodes, which makes him the only series regular who’s eligible in the guest star category.
