Emmy nominations are out these are the Jews we want to win
The shifts in the TV landscape brought on by online video streaming are more apparent than ever in the nominations for the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards announced Thursday.
HBO dominated the competition with 94 nominations the most of any network for the 16th consecutive year for the awards presented by the Television Academy. But its total was down from the 126 it received in 2015, a sign of how streaming services as well as other cable outlets have upped their game in the scripted programming arena.
One significant indicator of the new TV world order: Three out of the seven nominees in the comedy series category Master of None and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, both on Netflix, and Amazon’s Transparent”are only available through online viewing. Broadcast networks had dominated the category as recently as 2011, but this year only ABC was represented with “black-ish” and “Modern Family. The commercial broadcasters have not had a series nominated for drama series since that same year.
Netflix received 54 nominations, a gain of 24 over last year. Its signature series House of Cards” received 13 nominations, tying its previous high in 2014. It also had several first-year nominees, including two for Jessica Jones,” four for Master of None” and six for “What Happened Miss Simone?, its documentary on legendary soul-jazz artist Nina Simone.
