Although the event series on Disney+ had mixed reactions across the board, the Marvel run of WandaVision seems to be an Emmy darling. The limited show has been nominated for 23 of the awards in numerous categories. It has received noms for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Paul Bettany, Outstanding Lead Actress for Elizabeth Olsen, Outstanding Support Actress for Katharine Hahn, Outstanding Directing, three nominations in Outstanding Writing and numerous others. Their other original series, The Mandalorian is also nominated in several categories.
Say what you will about the show, but this is great news for the genre as a whole. Seeing more and more comic translations being nominated for entertainment awards continues to solidify their presence in modern culture.
This year's Emmys will be in person unlike last year when everything was shut down and social distanced. Cedric the Entertainer will be hosting with a live air date of September 19th on CBS.
