Emmys 2021: 'The Crown,' 'Mandalorian' top nominees; see all the major categories

Show Caption

The Force is strong with this one. 

“The Mandalorian,” the hit Disney+ series set in the “Star Wars” universe, tied the fourth season of Netflix's British monarchy series “The Crown" in Tuesday’s 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, with 24 nominations apiece, including best drama.

Both shows were trailed by Disney+'s inaugural Marvel show “Wandavision,” earning 23 nods including best limited series, actress (Elizabeth Olsen) and actor (Paul Bettany). And Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso," starring Jason Sudeikis as a soccer coach transplanted to London, nabbed 20 nominations, the most for a freshman comedy series. The limited series categories are particularly stacked this year, with Netflix’s “The Queen's Gambit,” HBO’s “I May Destroy You” and “Mare of Easttown” all picking up multiple nods. 

HBO and HBO Max, with a leading total of 130 nominations, narrowly edged out Netflix's 129. But Netflix has yet to win a best-series Emmy.

Following last fall’s mostly virtual ceremony hosted by Jimmy Kimmel amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Emmys will return for an in-person show on Sept. 19 on CBS (8 EDT/PDT). Cedric the Entertainer will emcee the event, which will air live from Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater. 

Many of last year’s top winners and nominees were ineligible for 2021 awards due in part to COVID-19 production delays that pushed back their upcoming seasons, including “Succession,” “The Morning Show,” “Ozark” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Shows that aired between June 1, 2020, and May 31, 2021, were eligible for this year’s prizes.
