2021 Emmy Awards: See the Complete List of Winners

The 2021 Emmys were unlike any of the Emmy Awards of years past thanks in part to the coronavirus pandemic, which included a limited audience of nominees and their guests.

Broadcasted live on CBS and Paramount+, the Emmys took place at L.A. Live’s Event Deck, instead of the usual Microsoft Theater.

The Emmy Awards were hosted by Cedric the Entertainer as the show aimed to make it a celebration for all.

“The Crown” tied with “The Mandalorian” for the most Emmy nominations, 24 each, but the Marvel universe also got bragging rights with runner-up “WandaVision.”
