Apple TV+ hit “Ted Lasso” has matched its record number of Emmy nominations in 2021, in a year that saw the streaming service receive a total of 51 nods.
Even as “Ted Lasso” repeats its record-breaking streak of 20 Emmy nominations, Apple TV+ itself has dramatically beaten its numbers for 2021. For the 73rd Emmys, Apple TV+ received 35 nominations – and for the new 74th ceremony, it will compete 51 times.
“Ted Lasso” is the most notable leader among the nominations, with his 20 in all acting categories and tons of production categories. But the disturbing thriller “Severance” has also had a particularly strong year, especially for the cast.
“The Morning Show” has faded from its original position as Apple’s premier drama, but it still received a Billy Crudup nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Crudup won this category in 2020.
For 2022, Crudup will face John Turturro and Christopher Walken, both for ‘Severance’.
In total, the Apple TV+ nominations were split across 14 productions:
- Ted Lasso: 20 nominations
- Cancellation: 14
- Schmigadoon!: 4
- The morning show: 3
- The problem with Jon Stewart: 2.
- Foundation: 2
- Pachinko: 2
- Outstanding commercials: 2
- Central Park: 1
- Carpool Karaoke: 1
- SEE: 1
- Lisey’s story: 1
- They call me magic: 1
The two nominations for Outstanding Commercials were “Detectives – iPhone 13 Pro” and “Everyone But Jon Hamm” for Apple TV+ itself.
Significantly, this is the first year that the Television Academy has announced its primetime nominees by show title and has not included any reference to the original network or platform. That information is available in the Academy’s full PDF listbut the announcement ceremony chose to skip what has become a complex and inconsistent detail.
For example, the British BAFTA nominations recently credited only the BBC for the documentary ‘9/11: Inside the President’s War Room’. That was corrected to the BBC and Apple TV+ through the awards ceremony itself.
The 74th Emmy Awards will air on NBC and Peacock on September 12, 2022 at 5 p.m. Pacific.
