It is all the more confusing given that they were all in key categories that would usually result in a series nomination – acting, directing and writing. Netflix’s “Maid” is perhaps the show that many were surprised missed the top category, only gaining a measly three nominations, and drastically underperforming. The relevance of the series about the effects of a pandemic could also work in its favor. The finale by Somerville is a heartfelt and emotional episode about forgiveness, with The Traveling Symphony performing “Hamlet,” and Jeevan ( Himesh Patel) finally reuniting with Kirsten ( Mackenzie Davis) after 20 years. It is fair to say that HBO Max’s “Station Eleven” was a series that surpassed expectations as it was on the border of most nominations in the main categories, but it managed seven mentions and three in the main ceremony.

The rest of the series in this category racked up single-digit nominations with six for Hulu’s “The Dropout,” Meriwether being the last nominee with a series nom. Strong has been a long-time Emmy favorite, winning this category in 2012 for “Game Change” and nominated in 2008 for “Recount.” This is his first nomination for a miniseries, and the finale of “Dopesick” highlighted the importance of fighting the battle of justice for the victims of the opioid crisis by the major pharmaceutical company. This category often rewards shows that go on to win Best Limited Series or Best Television Movie, as shown in recent years with “Chernobyl,” “Watchmen” and the “Black Mirror” episodes, and with “The White Lotus” looking like a heavy frontrunner, White could ultimately prevail.īut at a close second is Hulu’s “Dopesick,” which nabbed 14 bids, of which six were for actors. Since White penned the entirety of the season, he is the only writer not nominated for a single episode, which could work to his advantage. HBO’s “The White Lotus” performed beyond most expectations, garnering a whopping 20 nominations, with eight of its cast members nominated in the two supporting categories.
