2021 Emmy Nominations: The Complete List

The Crown and The Mandalorian led the pack with a towering 24 nominations each.
|

Pandemmys, be gone! The Emmy Awards are mostly getting back to normal. 

The nominations for this year’s 73rd annual ceremony were unveiled by father-daughter duo Ron Cephas Jones and Jasmine Cephas Jones on Tuesday morning ahead of the show in September, which will be hosted by Cedric the Entertainer and feature a limited live audience.

Last year’s ceremony was Hollywood’s first COVID-era award show with winners delivering their speeches virtually from their homes. Despite being the least-watched ceremony in its history, the event somehow went off without a hitch, becoming the gold standard for pandemic award shows that followed. 

As for what projects caught the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ eye this year, “The Crown” and “The Mandalorian” led the pack with a towering 24 nominations each, while “WandaVision,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Saturday Night Live ” and “Ted Lasso” trailed not too far behind.

Netflix and HBO once again battled for Emmys supremacy, but the latter managed to outflank its competitor by just one nomination with a total of 130 nods, in part thanks to its newly launched streaming service HBO Max.

With reigning comedy and drama powerhouses “Schitt’s Creek” and “Succession” out of the running, there was little opportunity for repeat glory at the ceremony. Instead, a new crop of series and nominees broke through. First-season shows like the Jason Sudeikis-fronted Apple TV+ breakout “Ted Lasso”; recent HBO/HBO Max hits, including “The Flight Attendant,” “Lovecraft Country” and “Hacks”; and Netflix’s hits “Bridgerton” and “Emily in Paris” are now all up for Emmys gold.

Still, there are some long-running series that received major recognition. Netflix’s lavish royal drama “The Crown,” which reached new heights in its Princess Diana-centric fourth season, and Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” ruled over the drama acting categories, while NBC’s “This Is Us” made its mark on the nominations once again as one of the few major broadcast television contenders.

Television’s most competitive space, however, belongs to the limited series categories, which have become increasingly overwhelmed by marquee talent in recent years. Actors Kate Winslet (“Mare of Easttown”), Elizabeth Olsen (“Wandavision”), Cynthia Erivo (“Genius: Aretha”), Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Queen’s Gambit”) and Michaela Coel (“I May Destroy You”) are set to battle it out in the ever-so-crowded Best Actress race. 

The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards will air Sept. 19 on CBS.
