The Crown and The Mandalorian have tied for the most Emmy nominations this year with 24 nods each.
The Netflix royal family drama, which has previously won 10 Emmys, picked up nominations for stars Olivia Colman, Emma Corrin, Josh O’Connor, Gillian Anderson, Helena Bonham Carter, Tobias Menzies and Emerald Fennell. It was also nominated for best drama series.
It was also a strong showing for Disney’s acclaimed Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian which, for a second year, saw an impressive amount of support from the Television Academy, including nods for best drama. Disney+ also saw success for their first Marvel show, WandaVision, which picked up 23 nominations, including for stars Elizabeth Olsen, Kathryn Hahn and Paul Bettany.
The Pose star MJ Rodriguez broke new ground by becoming the first transgender actor to receive a best actress nomination. Rodriguez is only the third ever trans performer to be nominated in any acting category, following in the footsteps of Rain Valdez and Laverne Cox. She will face off in the drama category against Elisabeth Moss for The Handmaid’s Tale, Uzo Aduba for In Treatment, Jurnee Smollett for Lovecraft Country and The Crown stars Colman and Corrin.
