2021 Emmy Nominations: David Byrne, Billie Eilish, ‘I May Destroy You,’ more

The 2021 Emmy Nominations were just announced with The Crown and The Mandalorian leading the pack with 24 nominations each, and Marvel’s WandaVision coming up right behind with 23 nominations. Also racking up lots of nominations: The Handmaid’s Tale, Ted Lasso, Lovecraft Country, Mare of Easttown, black-ish, The Flight Attendant, SNL, and more.

Outstanding Drama nominees are The Boys, Bridgerton, The Crown, The Handmaid’s Tale, Lovecraft Country, The Mandalorian, Pose, and This Is Us; while Outstanding Comedy nominees are black-ish, Cobra Kai, Emily in Paris, Hacks, The Flight Attendant, The Kominsky Method, PEN15, and Ted Lasso.

Last year’s big drama and comedy winners, Succession and Schitt’s Creek, did not have new seasons so were not eligible (Schitt’s Creek is done, but Succession will be back this year).

The strongest category this year might be Best Limited Series with I May Destroy You, Mare of Easttown, The Queen’s Gambit, The Underground Railroad, and WandaVision all getting nominated. You may remember I May Destroy You didn’t receive a single Golden Globe nomination.

On the music front, David Byrne‘s American Utopia was nominated for six Emmys, including Spike Lee’s direction and Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) alongside Dave Chappelle‘s 8:46, Bo Burnham‘s Inside, Friends: The Reunion, Hamilton, and A West Wing Special

Billie Eilish‘s The World’s A Little Blurry was nominated for four Emmys, including Music Direction, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing and Picture Editing.

The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Framing Britney Spears, and Tina were all nominated for Outstanding Documentary Or Nonfiction Special, along with Boys State and The Social Dilemma.

This year’s Outstanding Music Composition For A Series nominee are Raphael Saadiq and Laura Karpman (Lovecraft Country), Ludwig Göransson (The Mandolarian), Kris Bowers (Bridgerton), Martin Phipps (The Crown), Adam Taylor (Handmaid’s Tale), and Siddhartha Khosla (This is Us).
