Online platforms accounted for a record 342 of this year’s Emmy nominations, up from 270 last year, reports QZ.Com.
Cable TV, which includes networks like HBO and FX, had 166 total nominations, down from 198 in 2020. And broadcast television (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and PBS) combined for only 105 nominations, down from 126 last year.

Netflix, which for the second year in a row earned the most nominations of any streaming service or TV network with 129, was actually not responsible for streaming’s jump, since it received 31 fewer nominations than last year. Rather, streaming’s big bump can be attributed to two major developments: the rapid rise of Disney’s streaming service, Disney+, as well as the launch of WarnerMedia’s platform, HBO Max, last year.
Disney+’s nomination haul leapt from 19 in 2020 to 71 in 2021, thanks to the Star Wars series The Mandalorian and the Marvel series WandaVision, which earned 24 and 23 nominations, respectively—good for first and second place overall. (The Mandalorian was tied with Netflix’s The Crown for the most-nominated series.) Disney+ also got a boost from its stage recording of the acclaimed Broadway musical Hamilton, which hit the service last year and was controversially deemed eligible for the Emmys by the television academy. Hamilton received 12 nominations—almost as many as Amazon got in total (18).
And in its first year of eligibility, HBO Max received 36 nominations, including two in best comedy series for the shows Hacks and The Flight Attendant.
