HBO’s “Succession” scooped up the most Emmy nominations Tuesday morning with 25 — and it broke the record for the most acting nominations in a single year.

The much-celebrated series about the inner workings of an uber rich family picked up 14 nominations in the acting categories, enough to beat previous record holders “Roots” and “Rich Man, Poor Man,” both of which had 13.

All of the main cast members were recognized: Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong for lead actor, drama; J. Smith-Cameron and Sarah Snook for supporting actress; and Nicholas Braun, Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen for supporting actor.
