Despite having multiple acting nominations, The White Lotus Season 3 had a rough time at the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night in Los Angeles.
The White Lotus Season 3 had 23 Primetime Emmy nominations going into the ceremony, and thanks to the Creative Arts Emmys, the acclaimed hit HBO series narrowly avoided a complete shutout.
The hit HBO series received several of its nominations in the major categories, including a nod for Outstanding Drama Series. The Pitt defeated The White Lotus in the category, though, along Severance, Andor, The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise and Slow Horses.
Since The White Lotus features ensemble casts without leads, nearly all of the show’s nominations came in the supporting categories. Season 3 received Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series nominations for Aimee Lou Wood, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey and Natasha Rothwell, and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Jason Isaacs, Sam Rockwell and Walton Goggins.
At the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony in early September, Scott Glenn was nominated for an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series Emmy, which went to Shawn Hatosy for his turn in the HBO/HBO Max series The Pitt.
Glenn was one of The White Lotus Season 3’s 13 Creative Arts Emmy nominations. Of the 13, only composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer won an Emmy for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music.
As such, The White Lotus Season 3 only won one Emmy overall out of 23 three nominations.
The win is a bittersweet one for the series, considering that de Veer left the series earlier this year after having a fallout with The White Lotus creator Mike White, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
