00:00Hi everyone, I'm Scott Feinberg, the awards columnist for The Hollywood Reporter and thank

00:06you for tuning in to FaceTime with Feinberg, a video series in which I spout off about an

00:11awards related topic. Today I want to talk about the rise of the streamers at the Emmys. Yes,

00:16everyone knows that Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu have been on the march over the last several

00:21years with Netflix consistently battling HBO for the most nominations of any platform and series

00:27wins going to Hulu for The Handmaid's Tale in 2017 and to Amazon for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in 2018

00:34and Fleabag in 2019. And yes, each of those three streamers returned to serious contention this year.

00:43Netflix garnered an astounding 129 nominations and its drama The Crown is likely to bring the service

00:49its first series win. Hulu meanwhile nabbed 25 noms and Amazon 19. But what to me has not been

00:56discussed enough is the remarkably rapid rise of three other streamers, none of which even existed

01:01two years ago. Apple TV Plus launched on November 1st 2019 and this year garnered 34 nominations

01:08across nine different shows, including Ted Lasso, which is the most nominated rookie comedy series

01:14ever and the favorite to win the best comedy series award among other honors.

01:19My decision to bench Jamie was a master stroke. I don't think we're allowed to talk like that at work anymore.

01:23Disney Plus meanwhile entered the fray less than two weeks after Apple TV Plus on November 12th 2019

01:29and this year has 71 nominations across nine different shows, including Best Drama Series nominees

01:35The Mandalorian, which is nominated in the category for the second year in a row and is tied with the crown

01:40for the most nominations of any program and a Best Limited or Anthology Series nom for WandaVision,

01:47not to mention a haul of other noms for the film version of Broadway's Hamilton.

01:52And then there's HBO Max, which dropped on May 27, 2020, barely a year ago, and like Apple TV Plus,

02:00comes into this year's Emmys with 34 nominations across nine different shows, including Best Comedy

02:05Series nominees The Flight Attendant and Hacks.

02:08John, didn't you say you wanted to get your mustache once?

02:10No.

02:10Huh. I guess I just thought it.

02:13Now, there's no doubt that the pandemic expedited the ascension of these platforms.

02:17People were stuck at home and looking for new things to watch.

02:20But considering that no streamer had received an Emmy nomination until eight years ago,

02:24when Netflix broke through with Arrested Development, Hemlock Grove and House of Cards,

02:29it's still pretty remarkable that there are now six streamers at the center of the Emmy conversation.

02:35That's all for now. Thank you for tuning in to FaceTime with Feinberg.
