‘The Crown’ and ‘The Mandalorian’ led nominations on Tuesday for the Emmy Awards, the highest honours in television.
The hit Marvel superhero series ‘WandaVision’ followed close behind earning 23 nominations, the most for a limited series.
Best drama series contenders include ‘The Crown’, and ‘Bridgerton’, while ‘Ted Lasso’ and ‘The Flight Attendant’ were among the best comedy series nominees.

Contenders in the miniseries category include ‘The Queen’s Gambit’, with breakout star Anya Taylor-Joy as a troubled chess prodigy, and ‘The Underground Railroad’, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead and created by Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins (‘Moonlight’).
Thuso Mbedu and Aaron Pierre, who star in the wrenching depiction of U.S.
slavery combined with elements of magical realism, are potential nominees.
‘Lovecraft Country’, which spins a tale about mid-20th-century racism with elements of horror, is up for drama series honours despite its cancellation by HBO after one season.
‘The Mandalorian’ and ‘WandaVision’ are among the sci-fi and fantasy genre shows in contention.
Also vying for Emmy consideration are shows that made a splash and boast movie stars, including the crime miniseries ‘Mare of Easttown’ with Kate Winslet and ‘The Undoing’ with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.
TV academy voters have a chance to build on the inclusiveness of last year’s acting nominations, which included a record number of Black nominees – 35 – among the 102 contenders for lead, supporting and guest performances in drama, comedy and limited series or TV movie.

The 73rd Emmy Awards — the small-screen equivalent of the Oscars — will be handed out at a live, in-person ceremony in Los Angeles broadcast by CBS on September 19.
The show — set to feature a “limited audience of nominees and their guests” — will mark a welcome return to some normality.
Last year’s edition was broadcast from an empty theater, with winners beaming in via video call.
Hosted by US actor-comedian Cedric the Entertainer, the gala will honor the best in television from a unique, pandemic-plagued year in which producers struggled to film under tight Covid restrictions.
