With two back-to-back years of the freshest, most sublime work on television, the miniseries nominations continue to leave us spellbound in their capability.
With the highest nominations for any series this season, HBO’s Watchmen leads the way with some fantastic writing and powerhouse performances. Netflix bags to spots with Unbelievable and Unorthodox, both compelling narratives of profound relevance.
And finally, Hulu and FX find themselves a seat at the table with Little Fires Everywhere and Mrs America respectively.

DRAMA SERIES
The year’s Drama nominees more than made amends for last year’s upsets; TV giant Game of Thrones making multiple categories and bagging the top prize.
This year’s nominees feel far more distinct in their own craft. Frontrunner Succession brings to life a contemporary fight for the corporate crown while Netflix’s The Crown returns for its dazzling third season.
Multiple nominee Ozark receives high acclaim for its slow-burn thrill and dark horse nominee The Mandalorian packs a whopping 15 technical nominations making it the leading sci-fi contender.
