LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Platform media digital, Netflix memecahkan rekod yang sebelum ini dipegang oleh saluran televisyen, HBO apabila mendominasi Emmy Awards dengan mendominasi sebanyak 160 pencalonan anugerah.
Namun begitu, siri adiwira terbitan HBO, Watchmen mengungguli senarai pencalonan edisi kali ini dengan 26 pencalonan walaupun karya hebat lakonan Regina King itu telah dibatalkan untuk musim kedua.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel terbitan Amazon kedua terbanyak dengan 20 pencalonan. Succession terbitan HBO menerima 18 pencalonan sementara Ozark terbitan Netflix menerima jumlah pencalonan yang sama.
Karya spin-off Star Wars, Mandalorian terbitan Disney+ juga cemerlang dengan 15 pencalonan. Drama bersiri kegemaran ramai Stranger Things meraih lapan pencalonan.

Pemenang lazim edisi terdahulu seperti Game of Thrones, Veep dan Fleabag tidak lagi dipertandingkan kerana siri-siri tersebut sudah tamat siarannya sekali gus meletakkan karya-karya baharu dalam senarai pencalonan.
