The Mandalorian leads 2021 Emmy nominations, followed by WandaVision – Polygon

Nominations for the 73rd Emmys were announced on Tuesday, and to the surprise of no one, Disney absolutely cleaned up, with 146 nominations across all categories. The media giant earned nominations all across its platforms and networks, but Disney Plus had a particularly standout morning with massive showings from both The Mandalorian and WandaVision.

The Mandalorian season 2 earned 24 nominations, bringing it into a tie with the latest season of Netflixs The Crown for the most nominations of any series this year. Among a litany of technical awards, The Mandalorian also earned a nomination for Best Drama Series, as well as guest actor nominations for Timothy Olyphant and Carl Weathers and a supporting actor nomination for Giancarlo Esposito.

Disneys other Emmy contender was WandaVision, which was submitted as a Limited Series for this years competition. The series earned a total of 23 nominations, including Best Limited Series, and acting nominations for both of its leads. Meanwhile meme-star Kathryn Hahn also got nominated for the series as a supporting actress. Disneys other Marvel show, The Falcon and Winter Soldier, earned five nominations, including one for Don Cheadles guest appearance.

Elsewhere in the nominations, Ted Lasso had a particularly impressive day, earning 20 nominations. This brings Apple TV Plus soccer comedy just two nomination shy of 30 Rocks all-time comedy record of 21 nominations. Perhaps the funniest part of the shows nominations came in the supporting actor in a comedy series category, where it earned four of the categories eight total nominations including one for the series co-creator Brendan Hunt.

Among the other highly-nominated shows and series are HBOs Mare of Easttown, which earned 16, Netflixs Queens Gambit, which earned 18, Saturday Night Live, which earned 21, Hulus The Handmaids Tale, with 21, and HBOs Lovecraft Country, which had 18.
