Meanwhile, Marvel series “WandaVision,” also a Disney+ product, trailed closely behind with 23 nominations, followed by Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” and Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso.”

Father-and-daughter actors Ron Cephas Jones, of “This Is Us,” and Jasmine Cephas Jones, of “Blindspotting,” joined TV Academy chief Frank Scherma to announce the nominees.

Hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, the live Sept. 19 ceremony will include a limited in-person audience of nominees and guests, one year after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the academy to adopt a virtual format.

Due primarily to its new streaming service HBO Max, HBO led all networks with 130 nominations, followed by Netflix with 129 nods and Disney+ with 71 in only its second year of existence, The New York Times reported.
