Emmys 2021: Disney+ geht fast leer aus, Netflix überragt

Am Sonntagabend wurden in den USA die diesjährigen Primetime Emmy Awards verliehen. Aufgrund der weiterhin grassierenden Corona-Pandemie wurden nur 600 Zuschauer bei der von Cedric the Entertainer moderierten Gala zugelassen, die eigentlich unter freiem Himmel hätte stattfinden sollen, dann aber doch in einem Zelt abgehalten wurde. So mancher Gast und Laudator war davon offensichtlich irritiert, allen voran Seth Rogen. Den Verantwortlichen von Netflix dürfte dieser Umstand allerdings herzlich egal gewesen sein, denn der kalifornische Streamingdienst war der große Gewinner des Abends.

Dank «The Crown» und «The Queen’s Gambit» gewann Netflix mit insgesamt 44 Auszeichnungen zum ersten Mal mehr Emmys als jedes andere Netzwerk oder jede andere Plattform. «The Crown» regierte die Nacht und holte sich die Trophäe der Dramaserie sowie Preise für die Schauspielerin (Olivia Colman), den Schauspieler (Josh O'Connor), die Nebendarstellerin (Gillian Anderson), den Nebendarsteller (Tobias Menzies), das beste Drehbuch ( Peter Morgan) und beste Regie (Jessica Hobbs). Dass «The Crown» am Ende die meisten Preis abräumte, verwunderte nicht, schließlich war man mit insgesamt 24 Nominierungen gemeinsam mit «The Mandalorian» am häufigsten nominiert gewesen. Bei den gestrigen Emmys wurde die Disney+-Serie nicht ausgezeichnet, weshalb nur die Auszeichnungen der in der vergangenen Woche verliehenen Creative Arts Emmys zu Buche stehen. Noch schlimmer sah es für «WandaVision» aus. Die Marvel-Serie, ebenfalls aus dem Hause Disney+, ging komplett leer aus – trotz 23 Nominierungen.

Ebenfalls großer Gewinner der Emmys 2021 war wie erwähnt «The Queen’s Gambit», das wie «The Crown» elf Preise – Creative Arts und Primetime Emmys zusammengenommen – abräumte. Darunter der Preis als beste limited Series. «Ted Lasso» wurde als herausragende Komödie ausgezeichnet und räumte zudem in den Schauspiel-Kategorien ab. HBOs «Mare of Easttown» wurde mit drei Preisen für die jeweils besten Nebendarsteller und die beste Hauptdarstellerin bedacht. Als bester Hauptdarsteller in einer Limited Series oder Film wurde Ewan McGregor für seine Rolle in «Halston» ausgezeichnet.
