The nominees for 2021’s Primetime Emmy Awards were announced today by Ron Cephas Jones and Jasmine Cephas Jones. It is an interesting group of shows and TV movies, all of which were released between June 1, 2020 and May 31, 2021 — in other words, this is an entirely pandemic era Emmy show.

Some of your favorite shows scored major nominations this year including The Mandalorian, up for Best Drama Series, and WandaVision, which was nominated for Best Limited Series and for Best Actor and Actress for stars Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen. Meanwhile Cobra Kai was nominated for ... Best Comedy Series? We love Cobra Kai, but is it a comedy series? Apparently the Emmys think so.

Here’s the list of 2021 Emmy nominees: The 73rd Emmy Awards will air on CBS on September 19 at 8PM ET. For the first time, they’ll also be streaming on Paramount+. The telecast will be hosted by Cedric the Entertainer.
