Netflix obliterated its broadcast, cable and streaming competitors with a whopping 160 Emmy Award nominations, the Television Academy announced Tuesday morning.
HBO, which topped Emmy nominations last year, was a distant second with 107 nominations. NBC was third with 47 nominations, followed by ABC’s 36 and Fx’s 33 nods.
HBO’s The Watchman (pictured) drew the most nominations for any show with 26, including one in the best limited series category along with HBO's Little Fires Everywhere, FX's Ms. America, and Netflix's Unbelievable and Unorthodox.
Prime Video's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel finished second with 20 nods as it looks to reclaim its 2018 win in the category. Maisel will go up against HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm and Insecure; Netflix’s Dead To Me and The Kominsky Method; NBC’s The Good Place, Pop TV’s Shitt’s Creek and FX’s What We Do In the Shadows.
Netflix’s Ozark and Stranger Things drew 18 nominations, and will go head-to-head in the best drama series against category veterans Better Call Saul (AMC), The Crown (Netflix), Killing Eve (BBC America), The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu) and Succession (HBO), as well as newcomer The Mandalorian (Disney Plus).
Actress Zendaya earned a surprise nomination in the best actress in a drama series category for role in HBO’s freshman series Euphoria. Also posting surprisingly strong showings were upstart streaming services Apple TV Plus and Disney Plus, which generated several high-profile nominations.
Apple TV garnered 18 nominations, including nods in lead actor/actress categories for Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell (The Morning Show), while Disney Plus drew 19 nominations, including a best drama series nod for The Mandelorian.
The 72nd Emmy awards will be telecast live on ABC Sept. 20.
