'The Crown,' 'Mandalorian' top Emmy nominations with 24 each

The nominations reinforced the rapid rise of streaming, with most of the top-nominated scripted shows on services that emerged in the past two years.

The Crown tied with The Mandalorian for the most Emmy nominations on Tuesday with 24 apiece, but the Marvel universe also got bragging rights with runner-up WandaVision. The bounty reinforced the rapid rise of streaming, with most of the top-nominated scripted shows on services that emerged in the past two years. In the top three categories — drama, comedy and limited series — broadcast networks scored only two nominations, for the NBC drama This Is Us and the ABC comedy black-ish. During an oppressive pandemic in which housebound Americans relied more than ever on television for distraction, TV academy voters recognised a varied mix of storytelling and a diverse group of actors and creators.
