- Streaming services have made more inroads into high-budget, high-quality television with this year's list of Emmy nominations showing their growing influence.
- Among individual shows, NBC's Saturday Night Live and HBO's Westworld tied for the most, with 22. But ranked by show platform, HBO (TWX -0.4%) again led all comers with 110 nominations, just ahead of Netflix (NFLX -0.5%) with 91. NBC (CMCSA +0.5%) followed up those two with 60 nominations.
- HBO led nominations even though Game of Thrones is sitting this year out after a delayed season start meant it missed the cutoff.
- Meanwhile, The Handmaid's Tale from Hulu (CMCSA, DIS +0.6%, FOX -2.4%, FOXA -2.7%, TWX) garnered a best drama series nomination and best drama actress nomination among its 13.
- Netflix's Stranger Things drew 18 nominations, and its The Crown got 13. The network's original House of Cards was nominated again for best drama series.
