Comment on your personal winners, any correlation with other categories, the number of repeating/first time nominees, streaming service/cable, what’s the trend with nominees etc.

Post your personals for Limited Series, Acting, Directing, Writing and TV Movie. {I’ve included them all in one because all of them are really interconnected and because it might help in spreading the wealth as we as consumers were spoilt with options due to the rise of limited series}.

Obvious observations:

Female Led Series were more dominant this decade.

Oscar winning/nominated A List Actresses heading Limited Series.

The early battle between HBO and FX and the later battle between HBO and Netflix.

Apple TV has not had success here at all.

Lol no one watches Cable.

Ryan Murphy dominates.

Jessica Lange Sarah Paulson. Four words. (Two more words Nicole Kidman will likely be added soon)

At the time it felt like the 2020 limited field was quite weak in overall quality but honestly in hindsight it might be one of my favourite Emmy cycles of all time. I mean Mrs. America, Normal People, The Plot Against America, Unbelievable, Unorthodox, Watchmen, Years and Years

FYC: Better Call Saul, The English and The Good Fight in all categories including Emily Blunt, Bob Odenkirk, Christine Baranski and Rhea Seehorn.

The Good Lord Bird is the superior gal from the 2020-2021 season, sorry boys and girls.

FYC:
The HBO darlings everywhere (The Last of Us, Succession, The White Lotus, Perry Mason, Somebody Somewhere, White House Plumbers, Love & Death);
The Apple gang (Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Black Bird);
Poker Face, The Great, The Bear, Evil (especially Katja Herbers) and The Good Fight.

Please! These gays, they're trying to murder me!
