Emmy Nominations For 2020 Led By Netflix And “Watchmen”
While the focus here is mostly on the world of film, television had one of its biggest days today, with the Emmy Award nominations announced for 2020. Obviously, TV is being impacted by COVID-19 as well as every other industry, but with a different timetable for eligible nominees, the Emmys are mostly immune from the coronavirus. As such, this morning saw a ton of the small screen’s best given a moment to shine (while also snubbing plenty of deserving work, as well). Leading the way was Watchmen, HBO’s critically acclaimed adaptation/spin-off of the graphic novel, though Netflix also had quite the showing.
