Emmy 2021: the TV series in nomination

On September 19, 2021 the Emmy Awards 2021 will be handed out: let's find out together who received the nominations.

The 73rd edition of the Emmy Awards 2021 will be held next September 19 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and to present the Oscar of television there will be the comedian Cedric the Entertainer. This year the event will be open to the public in the theater, albeit with limitations, but we will see the presence of actors and actresses accompanied by their guests.

The Emmys are an important recognition: every year they celebrate the excellence of TV by awarding the best series, actors, directors, writers of the last year of television. They are the Oscars of television. Among the most nominated TV series by the Academy we can't say that there is a great variety: often we find the same series in more categories. HBO and HBO Max dominate as number of nominations received, surpassing Netflix by a very small margin.  Disney +, Nbc and Apple tv can't complain though. The Crown and The Mandalorian the series that received the most nominations.

The most nominated at the 2021 Emmys

The TV series that received the most nominations at the 2021 Emmys, including technical categories, are The Crown and The Mandalorian both with 24 nominations each, followed by WandaVision with 23, The Handmaid's with 21, Ted Lasso with 20, Lovercraft Country and The Queen of Chess with 18. Just to give some numbers. The Crown di Netflix trionfa con 4 candidature per gli Emmy 2021.

Il dramma reale britannico con gli eventi della love story di Carlo e Diana, Josh O’Connor ed Emma Corrin, che hanno già ricevuto riconoscimenti ufficiali per le loro interpretazioni assieme a quella della splendida Olivia Colman ancora nei panni della Regina Elisabetta II con le loro performance, unite all’ottima Gillian Anderson che ha dato il volto a Margaret Thatcher, hanno con probabilità ipotecato la vittoria. Nella categoria troviamo anche Bridgerton di Netflix.

Primati e curiosità degli Emmy 2021

The Boys strappa la prima nomination drama e Cobra Kai come miglior comedy. Mj Rodriguez of Pose nominated as best actress drama, becomes the first transgender woman to be in contention for this category.

The 18 nominations for Lovecraft Country seem really incredible, especially because this series was deleted from the schedule of Hbo that probably will review its choices after the night of September 19.

The surprise this year is the platform Disney + that after HBO and Netflix has 71 nominations that compared to last year is an important increase. Merit to the series The Mandalorian and WandaVision of Marvel that make an excellent contribution to the new renaissance of fantasy and science fiction that we have been missing since Lost and Game of Thrones.

Finally, one last curiosity: almost twenty years after Friends first aired, American actress Courteney Cox receives her first Emmy nomination: Friends: The Reunion is in fact in the running in the Outstanding Variety Special category and Cox is one of the show's executive producers, along with Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.

We await the night of September 19 to celebrate the winners.
