Netflix and the creative teams behind the new dark comic series have chosen to seek Emmy Awards consideration as a limited or anthology series instead of a comedy.
The limited category has been less than exciting thus far, unlike previous years.
Ali Wong angles to make some Primetime history, potentially becoming the first Asian nominated in the history of her category and only the second Asian woman in any Emmy-leading race after Sandra Oh.
Wong would potentially compete with Jessica Chastain “George & Tammy” and Elizabeth Olsen “Love & Death.”
Steven Yeung's category is seemingly more competitive compared to his co-star, but he should be able to fit comfortably alongside Evan Peters from “Dahmer” and Daniel Radcliffe from the TV movie “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story"
Eight actors of Asian descent have been nominated for the Emmys, with five winning the statuette, Riz Ahmed (“The Night Of”), Darren Criss (“The Assassination of Gianni Versace”), Archie Punjabi (“The Good Wife”) and last year’s winners from “Squid Game” Lee Jung-Jae and Lee Yoo-mi.
