A fair share of shows released on Streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ constitute the list. HBO & HBO Max shows top the list with a whopping 130 nominations, closely followed by Netflix shows with 129 nominations and Disney+ with 71. As such platforms cater to a wider audience, American shows have further garnered international popularity. 

The Crown and The Mandalorian ( Star Wars series) are tied at 24 nominations, followed by Marvel’s WandaVision with 23. The nominations also include 44 first-time performers across major categories. 

This year’s Emmy Awards ceremony will be hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on 19th September.
