made history during the Sept. 19 Emmys ceremony — but not in the way they had hoped. With its sizable nomination tally of 21 nods, the series expected to pick up a couple of trophies between the Creative Arts and Primetime Emmys ceremonies. Instead, the dystopian drama lost all of its awards, setting the record for the most losing series in a single year, topping AMC’s “Mad Men” zero for 17 that occurred in 2012.
Only three shows earned more nominations than Hulu’s flagship series, with Netflix’s “The Crown” and Disney Plus’ “The Mandalorian” receiving 24 noms each and “WandaVision” picking up 23. Also, like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” landed 21 noms, but managed to pick up a handful of trophies between the ceremonies.
Other empty-handers in Emmy history include “Northern Exposure” and “The Larry Sanders Show,” which went zero for 16 in their respective years. In 2017, “The Handmaid’s Tale” won the Emmy Award for drama series, making it the first streamer to win the big award. Since then, the series has been nominated for the award in 2018 and 2020.“At the moment, the writers are working away breaking Season 5,” he said. “I think what’s really exciting about ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ is that piece, year after year after year, sees viewership growth, unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
I’d rather have a show get 21 nominations and 0 Emmys over a show that gets 1 Emmy but only got one or two nominations. Something tells me the first show is better.
Too bad. The last season was quite good
