It really is Netflix’s world, and the rest of the TV industry is just living in it.
The 73rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards are in the books and Netflix far and away topped all other networks and streaming platforms with 44 total wins. The most awarded show was a tie between “The Queen’s Gambit” and “The Crown.”

In second was HBO/HBO Max with a very distant 19 wins, followed by Disney+ with 14 and Apple TV+ with 10. NBC was the winningest broadcast network with eight victories.
