The streaming services have already made their mark at the Emmy Awards — last year Netflix set a record for the most nominations. But following a year in which the pandemic forced many Americans to increasingly turn to on-demand streaming video for entertainment, the Television Academy is poised to reward streaming services in a big way when nominations for the 73rd Emmy Awards are announced at 11:30 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The ceremony will be on Sept. 19 on CBS, and also available on the Paramount+ streaming service. The top contenders for the best drama category are mostly from the streamers. It’s possible that the cable and broadcast networks could get just one or two nominees in the best comedy category, which would be an all-time low.
