Emmy Awards 2021: 'The Crown', The Mandalorian' lead nominations; here's the complete list

Emmy Awards 2021: 'The Crown', The Mandalorian' lead nominations; here's the complete list

The Crown

Netflix drama 'The Crown' dominated the nomination list of Emmy Awards on Tuesday night. Along with 'The Crown', 'The Mandalorian' dominated the Tuesday's list for the awards which is considered the highest honor in television.

HBO and HBO Max led all networks with 130 nominations, followed by Netflix Inc with 129.

Best drama series contenders include Netflix`s British royal series 'The Crown' for a season that focused on the early years of the disastrous marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

'The Crown' nabbed 24 nods, including nine for actors such as Josh O`Connor and newcomer Emma Corrin as the royal newlyweds and Olivia Colman as a middle-aged Queen Elizabeth.

British 19th-century romance 'Bridgerton'won a best drama series nomination as well as an acting nomination for breakout star Regé-Jean Page.

'Pos' star Mj Rodriguez became the first transgender performer to pick up a major Emmy acting nomination in the drama series about the LGBTQ underground ballroom scene.

'Star War' spinoff drama 'The Mandalorian' tied with 24 nominations, mostly for writing and special effects.

Other nominations went to innovative superhero dramedy 'WandaVision,' which got 23 nominations, including for stars Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen, chess drama 'The Queen`s Gambit' and harrowing slavery tale 'The Underground Railroad.'

In the documentary race, 'Framing Britney Spears' about the pop singer`s career and long-running conservatorship battle, picked up a nod.

The coronavirus pandemic disrupted production of TV shows, meaning some, including last year`s drama series winner "Succession," did not return in time for Emmy consideration.

The Emmy Awards will be handed out at a ceremony in Los Angeles on Sept. 19, hosted by actor Cedric the Entertainer.
