Earlier today, Emmy-winning father-daughter duo Ron Cephas Jones (This Is Us) and Jasmine Cephas Jones (Blindspotting) announced the nominations for this year’s Emmy Awards.
Three streaming series led the way, with Netflix’s The Crown and the Disney+ Star Wars action drama The Mandalorian each notching 24 nominations.
The Netflix royal family drama, which has previously won 10 Emmys, picked up nominations for stars Olivia Colman, Emma Corrin, Josh O’Connor, Gillian Anderson, Helena Bonham Carter, Tobias Menzies and Emerald Fennell. It was also nominated for best drama series. Meanwhile, Disney’s acclaimed Star Wars spin-off saw an impressive amount of support from the Television Academy, securing a nod for best drama. Just behind The Crown and The Mandalorian is the Disney+ Marvel series WandaVision which has 23 nominations. It was the first time that the top three nominated shows are all from streaming platforms.
HBO, along with HBO Max, led all networks with 130 nominations. Netflix was right behind with 129 nominations. Next was Disney+, which picked up 71 nominations in just its second year of existence.
NBC was in a distant fourth place with 46 nominations.
It’s also worth noting that Pose star MJ Rodriguez broke new ground by becoming the first transgender actor to receive the best actress nomination. Rodriguez is only the third ever trans performer to be nominated in any acting category, following in the footsteps of Rain Valdez and Laverne Cox.
Finally, Michael Coel’s acclaimed BBC series I May Destroy You (which many would argue is the best show of 2020) was also recognized in multiple categories, including best limited or anthology series and best actress in a limited or anthology series. Overall, it scored nine nominations.
The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, will take place Sept. 19 on CBS and Paramount Plus at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
