Emmy Nominations Analysis: Crowd Pleasers, ‘Crown’ Pleasers, Increasing Diversity All Make A Mark, But Seven Actors From ‘Hamilton’? Really?

Michael Nordine authorAnyone who’s ever scoffed at a company referring to its employees as family will immediately hear alarm bells ringing when Zhanna (Lyudmila Vasilyeva), the matriarch who runs Produkty 24, tells her workers they aren’t just employees, they’re her children. It won’t take long for “Convenience Store” to justify that skepticism and then some: A highlight of the 2022 Berlin Film Festival’s Panorama program, Michael Borodin’s look at an Uzbek immigrant working in the Moscow outskirts is all the more disturbing for the fact that it’s based on a real case of human trafficking.The marriage of Mukkahabat (a gently devastating Zukhara Sanzysbay) to a fellow worker is our entree into this world, but it’s hardly a storybook wedding.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeGreetings from Variety Awards Headquarters! Today is July 19, 2021, which means it’s 31 days until final-round voting starts on Aug. 19; 42 days until final voting ends on Aug.

Michaela Coel, “I May Destroy You” – HBO Ethan Hawke, “The Good Lord Bird” – Showtime Thuso Mbedu, “The Underground Railroad” – Amazon Elizabeth Olsen, “WandaVision” – Disney+ Mj Rodriguez, “Pose” – FX Omar Sy, “Lupin” – Netflix Anya Taylor-Joy, “The Queen’s Gambit” – Netflix Kate Winslet, “Mare of Easttown” – HBO Bo Burnham, “Bo Burnham: Inside” – Netflix Kaley Cuoco, “The Flight Attendant” – HBO Max Maya Erskine, “Pen15” – Hulu Renee Elise Goldsberry, “Girls5Eva” – Peacock Charlotte Nicdao, “Mythic Quest” – Apple TV+ Jean Smart, “Hacks” – HBO Max Jason Sudeikis, “Ted Lasso” – Apple TV+ Hannah Waddingham, “Ted Lasso” – Apple TV+ “Allen v.

The 2021 TCA Award nominees have been revealed and AppleTV+ freshman series Ted Lasso is leading the charge with five nominations including Individual Achievement In Comedy for stars Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham, as well as nominations for Outstanding New Program, Outstanding Achievement In Comedy, and Program Of The Year.

Just days after the Emmy nominations were revealed, the Television Critics Association announced their own nominees for this year’s TCA Awards. Not surprisingly, “Ted Lasso” led all programs with five nods while “Hacks,” “WandaVision,” “I May Destroy You,” and “Mare of Easttown” took four.

Clayton Davis With diversity among key nominees at the 73rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards up 17% year over year, there is great potential for even more records to be shattered come the Sept. 19 ceremony.Four of the six slots for lead drama actor went to Black actors, two of whom are former winners — Sterling K.

Variety chief TV critics Daniel D’Addario and Caroline Framke run through the most interesting and exciting honors.D’Addario: “Game of Thrones” is long gone, but here’s one way its impact is still felt — genre has taken over the Emmys. “The Mandalorian” shares the most-nominated-series distinction (with “The Crown,” which at times can feel like high fantasy in its own way).

With every year’s Emmy nominations announcement comes question marks and raised eyebrows as some nominations are deemed unexpected. Titles like "Ted Lasso," "WandaVision" and "The Crown" dominated their respective categories this year, leaving little space for competition that many thought would surely squeak their way into this year’s honorees.

Jon Burlingame editorThe TV Academy music branch is clearly not impressed by big names.None of the superstars who entered the 2020-21 Emmy competition in the music categories — including H.E.R., Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Sara Bareilles, Dolly Parton and Cher — were rewarded Wednesday when the 73rd annual Emmy Award nominations were announced.Rather, the majority of nominees in the seven music categories were largely familiar composers, songwriters, music directors and music supervisors within the scoring community.The biggest musical names nominated were Marcus Mumford for the theme for “Ted Lasso,” Grammy president-CEO Harvey Mason Jr.

The good book says joy cometh in the morning, but today’s unveiling of the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards nominations distinctly lacked such jubilation for some.

Haley Bosselman editorEmmy-winning father-daughter duo Ron Cephas Jones (“This Is Us”) and Jasmine Cephas Jones (“Blindspotting”) are announcing the nominations for this year’s Emmy Awards on Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m.

Schitt’s Creek dominated the 2020 Emmy Awards with 9 wins including Outstanding Comedy Series and a sweep of every top acting honor for Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy. But the Pop TV series is all done. It xconcluded its sixth and final season on April 7 of last year and will not be eligible again this year.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. It simply can’t be helped, but as we consider the nominees for the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards, it must be acknowledged that the overall Comedy Series field is embarrassingly weak.
