Emmy Noms, Fun Facts: ..., Powered-Down Supes, ...A SUPER BUMMER
Whereas in 2021, WandaVision, Falcon and Winter Soldier, The Boys, Umbrella Academy, Doom Patrol and The Nevers combined for nearly 40 total Emmy nominations, this year the live-action combo of Loki, Hawkeye, Moon Knight and Peacemaker — with The Boys and Umbrella Academy MIA from the eligible mix — only amassed 17 nods. (Add in Disney+’s animated What If…? anthology, and the tally hits 20.)
And out of the eligible live-action superhero shows, zero on-camera acting performances were nominated, whereas last year Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany and Don Cheadle were among the contenders.
