The popular HBO drama, yet again, managed to awe the jury with a total of 25 nominations, the highest by any show this year. To recall, it had clinched eight Emmys in 2020.
Squid Game
South Korean survival drama bagged a record 14 nominations—the maximum nods earned by a non-English show. Some of these categories included Best Drama and Best Writing and Direction.
Zendaya
The 25-year-old actor-singer scripted history as the youngest producing nominee and the youngest two-time lead acting nominee ever for Euphoria Season 2.
Ted Lasso
Apple TV+'s beloved comedy-drama sparkled in the Comedy category and picked up a total of 20 nominations, continuing on its winning streak.
