POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN: Live Action Movie – Full Teaser Trailer – Will Smith
In 2018, Prime Video became the first streamer to win an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and repeated the title in the top comedy category with Fleabag the following year. After topping the field for Outstanding Drama Series in 2021 with a nomination for The Boys, Prime Video had a drama breakthrough this year with two series in the top category, Kilter Films’ Fallout, based on the Bethesda video games, and Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, inspired by the 2005 film, which earned 17 and 16 nominations respectively for a total of 33.
That accounted for the majority of Prime Video’s modest 37 Emmy nominations this year, trailing other major networks and streamers. (A notable nomination for Prime Video was crowd-pleaser Red, White & Royal Blue for Best Television Movie.)
Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke admitted she would have liked to see the limited series Expats and its star/executive producer Nicole Kidman recognized, but she's happy with the streamer's Emmy nomination.
