The nominations for the 71st Emmy Awards have arrived. Presenters D’Arcy Carden and Ken Jeong announced the nominees from the Wolf Theatre at the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center on Tuesday. The major awards are divided into separate categories which fall under the two broad spectrums of comedy and drama. Academy chairman/CEO Frank Scherma and president-COO Maury McIntyre also joined the actors for the announcement.
As expected, the nominee list is a hand-to-hand standing between HBO and Netflix. The premium television network leads ahead of the streaming giant by 20 nominations. HBO earned a total of 137 nods while Netflix bagged 117. HBO also broke its own record for the most number of nominations in a single year with its 137 tally.
‘Game of Thrones’ is far ahead in the race with 32 nominations. The limited series ‘Chernobyl’ earned 19 nods while the comedy ‘Barry’ got 17. Ava DuVernay’s ‘When They See Us’ leads Netflix’s most-nominated series list with 16 nomination. The comedy ‘Russian Doll,’ docuseries ‘Our Planet,’ drama ‘Ozark,’ Beyonce’s ‘Homecoming,’ and ‘GLOW’ followed.
Last year saw ‘Game of Thrones‘ and ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘ took the Emmys by storm by winning multiple awards.
