Netflix’s royal drama “The Crown” and feel-good Apple TV+ comedy “Ted Lasso” are front-runners heading into the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night, which is set to cement the dominance of streaming platforms at the show once and for all.
Hosted by Cedric the Entertainer and broadcasting live from Los Angeles on CBS and Paramount+, the ceremony will be held in person with a limited and vaccinated audience after last year’s pandemic-impacted virtual award show.
Given how television became a boon for viewers throughout the lockdowns and quarantines of the past year, it’s only fitting that a binge-friendly streaming service is victorious at the awards show, which has historically given top prizes to cable and broadcast networks.
Tied for the most nods for any single show, “The Crown” and “The Mandalorian” (Disney+) each scored 24 nominations heading into the evening. Both series will compete against “Bridgerton,” “The Boys,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Pose,” “Lovecraft Country” and the category’s lone network show, “This Is Us,” for the the Best Drama trophy.
With reigning comedy “Schitt’s Creek” out of the running, “Ted Lasso” is poised to sweep major categories for its stellar freshman season. Star and executive producer Jason Sudeikis is an almost-certain lock in the Lead Actor comedy race among other categories, which could make him a first-time Emmy winner.
This year’s crop of drama acting nominees stands as the most diverse in Emmys history, with at least half of the spots belonging to performers of color. Past winners Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”) and Billy Porter (“Pose”) will face off against newcomers Jonathan Majors (“Lovecraft Country”) and Regé-Jean Page (“Bridgerton”) in the Lead Actor race. Meanwhile, Uzo Aduba (“In Treatment”), Jurnee Smollett (“Lovecraft Country”) and Mj Rodriguez (“Pose”) ― the first transgender actor to earn a nomination for a leading role ― will vie for Emmys gold in the Lead Actress field.
But “The Crown” could snuff out the competition in both categories as stars Josh O’Connor (Prince Charles), Emma Corrin (Princess Diana) and the queen herself, Olivia Colman, will prove to be tough competition. Gillian Anderson and Helena Bonham Carter, who portrayed Margaret Thatcher and Princess Margaret in the series, respectively, are also up for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
The tightest race, however, belongs to the limited series, and will pit Kate Winslet (“Mare of Easttown”), Elizabeth Olsen (“Wandavision”), Cynthia Erivo (“Genius: Aretha”), Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Queen’s Gambit”) and Michaela Coel (“I May Destroy You”) against each other in the ever-so-crowded Lead Actress category.
