Takeaways:
- With 130 total nominations, HBO (combined with HBO Max) holds the top spot for the year.
- Despite Netflix racking up obscene nomination totals annually, the big red streaming giant has never actually won a Best Series trophy. This year might finally see them break the streak.
- Last year Schitt’s Creek came from nowhere to score an unprecedented sweep of the comedy categories, winning Outstanding Comedy Series and all four acting awards. No show seems likely to be quite that dominant this year, but if you’re looking for your new comedy steamroller, look no farther than Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso, which scored a whopping 20 nominations for its freshman season, including seven acting nods for Jason Sudekis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Nick Mohammed, and Jeremy Swift. In fact, the only main cast member who didn’t get an Emmy nomination was Phil Dunster, whose performance as vain, tempestuous superstar Jamie Tartt was certainly no slouch.
- Disney may have ranked third among networks/platforms in total nominations this year with 71, but given how new they are and how they’re still only operating on a handful of major shows, it’s a huge leap up for them and a real warning sign for their competitors.
- As was widely forecast in the lead-up to the Emmys, the Limited Series categories proved to be where the heaviest hitters are competing this year.
