WATCH: 72nd Emmy Awards Nominations Announcement
Josh Gad, Leslie Jones, Tatiana Maslany and Laverne Cox announced the nominations for the 72nd annual Emmy Awards. The live show will air September 20th on ABC, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
Netflix made an unprecedented move nabbing a record 160 nominations, and according to Variety, they are “followed by rival HBO in second at 107 nods. Netflix’s history-making tally is the most ever for a network — even surpassing what any of the Big 3 broadcast networks ever did when there was no real competition.
HBO still had reason to celebrate, however, as limited series “Watchmen” scored 26 nods, the most of any program. On the comedy side, Amazon Prime Video’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” maintained its, well, marvelous showing at the Emmys, garnering 20 nominations — the same as last year. The leading dramas were Netflix’s “Ozark” and HBO’s “Succession,” both of which pulled 18 nods.” Click the link above to watch the entire proceedings in all their glory! – Jinger Royal
