Aubrey Plaza (The White Lotus): Emmys 2023 episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Aubrey Plaza is entering “The White Lotus” episode “That’s Amore” as her 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Supporting Actress. “That’s Amore” aired on November 27, 2022, and is the fifth episode of the HBO show’s second season.

In “That’s Amore,” Harper (Plaza) confronts Ethan (fellow Emmy nominee Will Sharpe) with accusations that he was unfaithful to her after Ethan’s drunken night with Cameron (fellow Emmy nominee Theo James). Emmy nominee and past winner Mike White wrote and directed the episode, as he did with every episode in Season 2.

This is the first career Emmy Award nomination for Plaza. She has appeared in numerous shows and films over the years, including “Parks and Recreation” and “Emily the Criminal.” Plaza is one of five “The White Lotus” actresses in this category, alongside favorite Jennifer Coolidge, who won supporting actress for “The White Lotus” last year when the show competed in the limited series categories.

For this 2023 contest, Plaza is competing against Coolidge (“The White Lotus”), Elizabeth Debicki (“The Crown”), Meghann Fahy (“The White Lotus”), Sabrina Impacciatore (“The White Lotus”), Rhea Seehorn (“Better Call Saul”), J. Smith-Cameron (“Succession”), and Simona Tabasco (“The White Lotus”).

“The White Lotus” received 23 nominations at the 2023 Emmy Awards, including Best Drama Series. The HBO series has earned 43 nominations across its two seasons with 10 wins thus far.
