This was a particulary interesting year for television. With newer platforms like Disney+, Apple TV and HBO Max gaining big audiences and a lot of people sitting at home with time on their hands, audiences were watching a lot of content.
Nominations for the 73rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards Emmy Awards were announced today, with "The Mandalorian" and "The Crown" scored the most nominations per program with 24 each, followed by "WandaVision" with 23.
In particular, the Marvel Cinematic Universe racked up a total of 28 Primetime Emmy nominations, between WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier (5 nominations).
Also excited to see Ted Lasso, my favorite show of the year, earn a few nominations.
