The 2020 Emmy nominees have been announced and the Television Academy spread the love far and wide, but particularly to streaming services. Netflix dominated with 160 Emmy nominations, while newer players Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus both notched their first mentions with The Mandalorian and The Morning Show, respectively. Even Quibi received 10 Emmy nominations!
The premium cable network HBO came in second after Netflix with 107 nods, so the folks at HBO Max are likely hoping that the buzz will draw more eyeballs to the new streaming service.

The Emmy nominations announcement was a socially-distanced affair, hosted by Saturday Night Live's Leslie Jones with video-conference assists from Laverne Cox, Josh Gad and Tatiana Maslany.
Television Academy chairman and CEO Frank Scherma made some opening remarks that referenced the Black Lives Matter movement and the heightened awareness of representation on television. The nominations that followed were very diverse and featured a Black nominee in the top six acting categories.
The Creative Arts Emmys, previously slated for September 12-13, will now take place virtually "over several nights in September," though the dates aren't set.
The 2020 Emmys ceremony is currently scheduled for September 30 in Los Angeles, though the ongoing coronavirus pandemic may change that. Jimmy Kimmel is set to host. As he joked last month, "I don't know where we will do this or how we will do this or even why we are doing this but we are doing it and I am hosting it."
