The nominations for the 73rd Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday by the Emmy-winning father-daughter duo Ron Cephas Jones and Jasmine Cephas Jones. The Crown and The Mandalorian are leading the race with 24 nominations each and not far behind them is WandaVision with 23 nominations. Other big nominees include Ted Lasso, The Handmaid's Tale and Lovecraft Country.
Interestingly, of the 96 acting nods for drama, comedy and miniseries, nearly 44% — a total of 42 nominations — went to people of colour. Pose star Mj Rodriguez created history by becoming the first trans performer to be nominated in a lead acting category.
