Emmys 2021: All the nominees and award categories for tonight

After a cracking year of brilliant TV shows, the time has come to present the best with awards. The 73rd Primetime Emmys kick off tonight, seeing Mare of Easttown, The Crown, WandaVision, The Queen’s Gambit, Ted Lasso, I May Destroy You, and more compete for golden statues.

Not to mention the brilliant actors, some of whom are up for their first-ever Emmy. One-time winners Kate Winslet and Cynthia Erivo are in the race for best actress in a limited series, facing first-time nominees Elizabeth Olsen, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Michaela Coel.

The year’s Emmys also create history. MJ Rodriguez, who plays Blanca in FX’s Pose, is nominated for best drama actress, becoming the first transgender performer to be nominated in a major acting category.
