Nominations for the 73rd Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday by the Emmy-winning father-daughter duo Ron Cephas Jones and Jasmine Cephas Jones.

‘The Crown’ and ‘The Mandalorian’ lead with 24 nominations each, while ‘WandaVision’ has 23. Ted Lasso, The Handmaid’s Tale and Lovecraft Country are among other big nominees.

Emmy Awards 2021 will be hosted by Cedric the Entertainer for a limited live audience of nominees and guests this year after last year’s show went almost virtual owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to ew.com, Television Academy’s Board of Governors recently announced a small but notable rule change this year for the Emmy Awards 2021 to be more inclusive of gender-noncomforming individuals: A nominee or winner of any acting category can request they be recognised with the more gender-neutral title “Performer” on their nomination certificate and Emmy statuette, although the categories themselves relating to Actor and Actress won’t change.

The ceremony air on Sunday, September 19.    —CBS NEWS
