The series "Saxation", produced by "HBO", about the history of a family whose members exchange treachery and intrigue, topped the race for nominations for the Emmy Awards, equivalent to the Oscars in American television, after winning 25 nominations in total.

"Saxation" will face the bleak and violent South Korean series "Squid Game", which denounces the consequences of capitalism, and which has gone down in history for being the first production in a language other than English to compete for the main category for best drama series.

Squid Game, which topped the list of the most watched films in the history of "Netflix", includes hundreds of characters from the most marginalized groups in South Korea.

They participate in a children's game that ends with one winner winning a large sum of money, while killing is the fate of all the rest of the participants.

It seems that the competition will be fierce for the awards, which will be distributed in its 74th edition on September 12, with works of high caliber such as "Stringer Things", "Ozark" and "Peter Cal Salle".

As for comedies, last year's winner, Ted Lasso (produced by "Apple TV Plus"), topped the competition with 20 nominations.

The series, which centers around an American football coach who is assigned to an English soccer team, competes with "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and "Barry".

The competition also includes the series "Hacks" and "Only Murders in the Building", each of which received 17 nominations for these awards.

In terms of short series, the series “The White Lotus” (produced by “HBO”), which satirizes the superficiality of wealthy guests in a luxury hotel in Hawaii, topped the competition, as it received 20 nominations, including eight for actors at work.

In the end, "HBO" and its video-on-demand platform "HBO Max" came out with the largest share with 140 nominations, compared to only 105 nominations for its major competitor, "Netflix".
