The 2021 Emmy Nominations Are Here

After more than a year spent inside, our relationship with television has changed drastically. For many of us, streaming services became a way to reconnect with the world during the pandemic. TV gave us something else to talk about and to think about when things felt dark — or, depending on the show, made things feel even darker.

This year's 73rd Emmy Awards will highlight the shows, actors, and episodes that helped us escape, and later reenter the world. During the livestream of nominations, hosted by Emmy-winning (and father-daughter) duo Jasmine Cephas Jones and Ron Cephas Jones, we can expect to see Netflix pop up a lot. Last year, the streaming service racked up the most nominations of the group (160, breaking HBO's previous record), and this year, we can expect to see nominations for fan-favourite series like The Crown, Queen's Gambit, and Bridgerton.

But we can't forget about HBO's buzzy women-led shows like The Flight Attendant, Mare of Easttown and Hacks. We also watched stunning and thought-provoking dramas Lovecraft Country (also from HBO), as well as Amazon Prime's The Underground Railroad, which will likely appear in the drama categories. Now would also be a great time for FX's Pose, which just wrapped its final season, to win big.
