2021 Emmy Awards: Full list of winners from TV’s biggest night – National | Globalnews.ca

After a year that most of us spent inside in front of our televisions, the Emmy Awards are especially poignant this time around.

Streaming services are poised for a triumphant night that will cast a further shadow on the status of traditional broadcast networks and once-dominant cable channels like HBO. Shows like Marvel Studio’s WandaVision (Disney+), The Crown (Netflix) and The Mandalorian (Disney+) are among some of the most-watched series of the year, and are set to be among the top winners of the night.

“This is the year that the streamers will officially conquer Hollywood,” likely winning best drama and comedy series honours for the first time, said Tom O’Neil, editor of the Gold Derby predictions website and author of the book, The Emmys.

In 2017, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale (on CTV Drama Channel in Canada) became the first streamed series to win the best drama Emmy. The next year, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel scored a matching victory on the comedy side for Amazon, which won again in 2019 for Fleabag.

Victory is possible for either The Crown or The Mandalorian, which topped the nominations with 24 each.

In terms of comedy, fan favourite and water-cooler conversation stirrer Ted Lasso (Apple TV+) is expected to dominate.

This year, about 500 nominees and guests will gather under a glammed-up tent in downtown L.A., with COVID-19 precautions including a vaccine requirement and testing. Comedian and actor Cedric the Entertainer will be hosting.

There are big names among the presenters, including Angela Bassett, Michael Douglas, Dolly Parton and Awkwafina, but at least one star, Jennifer Aniston, was candid about staying away because of virus concerns.

Reginald Hudlin and Ian Stewart, executive producers for the telecast, said they approached the reduced attendance as an opportunity. Instead of being confined to a theatre seat, guests will be at tables and part of what sounds like an oversized dinner party — with drinks and snacks allowed — and encouraged to mingle.

Ratings for awards shows, from Oscars to the Grammys, have been steadily declining in recent years and hit new depths during the pandemic — and the Emmys weren’t exempt.

After hitting a record-low viewership of just under seven million in 2019, last year’s telecast tumbled further to 6.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen.
