Emmys 2021: Mandalorian, The Crown And WandaVision Lead Nominations, Ted Lasso Tops The Comedy Pack

Nominations for the 73nd Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday by Emmy winners Ron Cephas Jones (This Is Us) and his daughter Jasmine Cephas Jones (#FreeRayshawn).

The Crown and The Mandalorian this year tied for the most nominations, with 24 each, followed by WandaVision (23), The Handmaid's Tale (21), Saturday Night Live (21), Ted Lasso (20), Lovecraft Country (18), The Queen's Gambit (18) and Mare of Easttown (16).

By outlet, HBO/HBO Max amassed 130 total nods to edge out 2020 champ Netflix's 129; rounding out the Top 5 are Disney+ (with 71), NBC (46) and Apple TV+ (34).

Broadcast-TV, which increasingly struggles to garner awards-show kudos, collected its fewest nominations in... well, a while, totalling 96 versus last year's 121.

This year's ceremony will be held on Sunday, Sept. 19 at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, and hosted for CBS by The Neighborhood's Cedric the Entertainer. Unlike 2020's largely virtual, mid-pandemic event (which is perhaps best/only remembered for Jennifer Aniston putting out a wastebasket fire), this year's will feature a limited audience of nominees and their guests.

TVLine has listed the major nominees below. Your job, as extremely opinionated watchers of TV, is to inundate the Comments section with gushes of glee or eruptions of indignation. [pmc_inline_gallery]
