The 2021 Emmy Awards kicked off on Sunday night to a rollicking start, leaving last year’s COVID-shellshocked ceremony safely in its rearview mirror. This year’s awards were distributed at LA Live in Downtown, California. The evening’s biggest winners were The Crown, Ted Lasso, and Mare of Easttown, which took home a whopping 10 of the 12 acting awards. While the wins were celebrated, the show had its share of snubs and surprises.
Deserving nominees were overlooked by the Television Academy, while others scored unexpected wins in categories where they faced strong competition. While the Disney Plus series, WandaVision, from Marvel Studios, took home three awards — for production, costume design and music — at the Creative Arts Emmys last weekend, it was completely shut out of the Primetime Emmys. Fans and critics alike had loved the inventive show, in which Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) eventually faced her grief from losing Vision (Paul Bettany). The show received 23 nominations.
