Emmy 2021 nominations: The complete list in full

All the TV shows in the running for awards

The Emmy 2021 nominations were announced today (13 July).

This year’s ceremony, awarding the best in television, will take place in September, and it’s looking as if it’ll be an extremely close contest.

Several of the high-profile shows that dominated last year’s awards – including Succession, Ozark and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel – haven’t been eligible due to the pandemic.

With those shows unable to produce and broadcast new episodes in time for the Emmy submission deadline, it means that this year’s nominee roster has been unusually led by first-timers, such as Bridgerton, Mare of Easttown and The Underground Railroad.

Ron Cephas Jones and Jasmine Cephas Jones – who became the first father-daughter pair to win an Emmy in the same year during the 2020 ceremony – had the honours of announcing the nominations this year.
