Congrats to the newly-minted Emmy nominees! The 2021 Emmy nominations were announced this morning and the Television Academy was particularly kind to streaming services. HBO/HBO Max pulled 130 nominations, edging just past Netflix with 129. Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus both scored dozens of nods.
The Emmy nominations announcement was hosted by Ron Cephas Jones (This Is Us) and Jasmine Cephas Jones (Blindspotting). In 2020, they made history for being the first father-daughter duo to win performance Emmys in the same year (she nabbed hers for the short-lived Quibi show #FreeRayshawn).
