Television was the only thing that got us through the last year spent stuck in our homes. It’s also led to the fiercest competition in recent memory at Sunday’s 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards.
“The Mandalorian” and “The Crown” led this year’s history-making nominations, which saw “Ted Lasso” break the record for most-nominated freshman comedy and Mj Rodriguez become the first-ever transgender actor nominated for a major Emmy award. The 2021 ceremony also marks the first time the Variety Special categories have been announced in primetime.
Winners will be announced during a Cedric the Entertainer-hosted telecast, airing live on CBS and Paramount+ from the Event Deck at L.A. Live in Downtown Los Angeles. (Non-Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out over three preceding Creative Arts ceremonies.)
