By Tharishi Hewavithanagamage

The pandemic forced many audiences to turn to streaming services to get a dose of their favourite television series, variety shows and other popular entertainment. The streaming services are currently leading the nominations list for the 73rd Emmy Awards, announced by the Television Academy.

Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ and the Disney+ Stars Wars spinoff series ‘The Mandalorian’ are leading with 24 nominations each. The Disney+ series ‘WandaVision’ earned the Marvel franchise 23 nominations. Hulu’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ comes in with 21 nominations, while the Apple TV+ series ‘Ted Lasso’ scored 20 nominations, making it the most-nominated comedy of the year. ‘Lovecraft Country’ and ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ got 18 nods each and ‘Mare of Easttown’ received 16.

HBO and HBO Max led the way with 130 total nominations, followed closely by Netflix with 129 and then Disney + with 71.

This year the ceremony will return to a live, in-person event with a limited audience and guests. The ceremony is scheduled to take place on the 19th of September, with host Cedric the Entertainer. Checkout the list of nominees below.
