Last week, Netflix scored big when the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy® Award nominations honoring the world’s leading Internet television network with 31 nominations.
“We are overwhelmed with thirty-one nominations in our sophomore year, which acknowledges the fullest spectrum of our programming — from the women of ‘Litchfield’ in ‘Orange is the New Black’ and the backroom machinations of Washington in ‘House of Cards’ to the bittersweet, comedic compassion of ‘Derek’ and the fearless, verite portrait of contemporary, evolving Egypt in ‘The Square,’”
said Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer.
“Television has never been better, and we are honored to be in such groundbreaking company.”
