2021 Emmy Awards: Complete Nominations List

The nominations for the 73rd Annual Emmy Awards, honoring the best in television, have been revealed.

On Tuesday morning, father-daughter duo Ron Cephas Jones and Jasmine Cephas Jones announced the list of nominations.

“The Crown” and “The Mandalorian” earned the most nominations, picking up 24. Close behind was “WandaVision” with 23 and “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Saturday Night Live” with 21 noms each. “Ted Lasso” received 20 nominations, while “The Queen’s Gambit” and “Lovecraft County” both earned 18. “Mare of Easttown” picked up 16.

There was a slew of actors who became first-time Emmy nominees in the acting categories — a whopping 44 to be exact — including “WandaVision” stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, “The Crown’s” Emma Corrin, Tobias Menzies and Josh O’Connor, “Lovecraft Country” actors Jonathan Majors and Jurnee Smollett and “Hamilton’s” Renee Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo, Daveed Diggs, Anthony Ramos and Jonathan Groff.

Other notable first-time nominees were Michaela Coel (“I May Destroy You”), Kaley Cuoco (“The Flight Attendant”), Regé-Jean Page (“Bridgerton”), Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Queen’s Gambit”) and Mj Rodriguez (“Pose”), who became the first transgender performer to be nominated in the lead drama category.

While there didn’t seem to be any major snubs and surprises this season, there were still a few. For acting snubs, seven-time Emmy nominee Sarah Paulson wasn’t nominated for Ryan Murphy’s “Ratched,” Ethan Hawke’s name wasn’t recognized for Showtime’s “The Good Lord Bird,” Pedro Pascal didn’t earn a nom for “The Mandalorian’s” second season and Nicole Kidman was left out for her performance in “The Undoing,” despite her co-star, Hugh Grant, picking up one.

In addition, Peacock’s comedy “Girls5Eva” and TBS talk-show “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” were both snubbed. Prime Video’s “Small Axe,” which earned star John Boyega a Golden Globe last year, only received a nomination for Outstanding Cinematography for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

Although Disney+’s MCU series “WandaVision” picked up 23 nominations, the other eligible Marvel show, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” only received one nomination, with guest star Don Cheadle earning recognition for only a few minutes of screentime.

Meanwhile, as for surprises, Netflix hits “Emily in Paris” and “Cobra Kai” both scored Outstanding Comedy Series nominations, HBO’s “Lovecraft County,” which wasn’t renewed for a second season, earned 18 nominations and Amazon’s superhero drama, “The Boys” earned five noms, including Outstanding Drama Series.

More surprise nominations included Bernadette Peters for her performance in “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” and Aidy Bryant for her role in “Shrill.”

The 73th Emmy Awards, which will be hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, will air live on Sunday, September 19 at 8:00 pm ET on CBS.
