Following their impressive nomination haul over the summer, HBO’s Watchmen and Disney’s The Mandalorian were rewarded this past week with a combined 18 Emmys. Watchmen led the way with 11 trophies, including some well-deserved recognition for Regina King (Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie).
The two exceptional series led a banner awards year for genre television–especially the type of stuff we like around here at AIPT. I’m still grumpy that Star Wars: The Clone Wars didn’t earn any nominations in the animation department, but it’s hard to stay mad with so many exceptional programs on this year’s slate.
A list of our favorite winners from the 72nd Emmy awards is provided below. You can view the full list here.
