Disney’s portfolio of brands earns 116 Emmy Nominations.

With the acquisition of 21st Century Fox and its television networks, The Walt Disney Company suddenly had a lot more TV shows eligible for Emmy awards this year. And indeed the company has received 116 nominations.

Walt Disney Television received 95 nominations, with FX receiving 32, led by Fosse/Verdon and Pose; 15 nods were given to National Geographic and Nat Geo WILD; and Disney Channel received a nomination for the animated series Star Wars Resistance. Additionally, the streaming service Hulu received 20 nominations, while ESPN was recognized for its 30 for 30 series.

It may be a little early for Disney to take total credit for creating and producing all these series, but it does give us a good look at the future potential for Disney’s television and streaming services.

We find out the winners on September 22, 2019 when the Emmy awards are broadcast on TV.
