T10 WHATS UP! September 16 - 22, 2018 Outstanding Comedy Series award is up for grabs. With the exception of FX's "Atlanta" and ABC's "Black-ish," broadcast networks and basic cable were virtually shut out in favor of premium and streaming series. Newcomer "Barry" is up against HBO stablemates "Sili- con Valley" and "Curb Your En- thusiasm," while Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and Netflix's "GLOW" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" round out the nominees. It's not all bad news for broadcast, however, with NBC garnering a respectable 78 nominations. Streaming ser- vices are well represented at this year's ceremony, with Net- flix reaping the most noms of any streamer with a whopping 112. Hulu, with 27, and Amazon, with 22, though far behind, nevertheless saw an increase from last year and have nomi- nations in the most important categories. On the drama side, FX's "The Americans" finally received some love from the academy for its sixth and final season. The '80s-set Cold War series faces off against a couple of Netflix period pieces in "The Crown" and "Stranger Things." The trio, along with fellow nominees "Game of Thrones, " "This Is Us" and "Westworld," will try to prevent "The Hand- maid's Tale" from repeating as Outstanding Drama Series. The Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series is dominat- ed with returning nominees in Anthony Anderson ("Black- ish"), TV veteran Ted Danson ("The Good Place"), Larry Da- vid ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), Donald Glover ("Atlanta") and William H. Macy ("Shame- less"). Bill Hader ("Barry") is the lone rookie in the field of comedic giants. Who will emerge victorious as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series is anyone's guess. The heated race is once again up in the air between Claire Foy ("The Crown"), Ta- tiana Maslany ("Orphan Black"), Sandra Oh ("Killing Eve"), Keri Russell ("The Americans"), Evan Rachel Wood ("Westworld") and last year's winner, Elisabeth Moss ("The Handmaid's Tale"). Will Sterling K. Brown win back-to-back gold statues for NBC powerhouse "This Is Us"? Will Allison Janney ("Mom") make 2018 a year to remember by adding an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series next to her Academy Award for her memo- rable performance in "I, Tonya" (2017)? Have a laugh with Che and Jost and see how it all plays out with the 70th Annual Pri- metime Emmy Awards, airing Monday, Sept. 17, on NBC.
