Among The Mandalorian's other nominations were nods for Giancarlo Esposito for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series and Carl Weathers and Timothy Olyphant for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series. Members of The Crown's cast including Olivia Colman and Emma Corrin also picked up nods, as expected. The Crown is widely seen as the frontrunner to win Outstanding Drama Series.

Outside of The Mandalorian, Disney's WandaVision also fared well, scoring a nomination for Outstanding Limited Series and nods for its stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. Meanwhile, Black-ish, Cobra Kai, Emily in Paris, The Flight Attendant, Hacks, The Kominsky Method, PEN15, and Ted Lasso picked up nods for Outstanding Comedy Series. The Apple series Ted Lasso is seen as the most likely to win that award.
