Amazon’s Vernon Sanders has much to celebrate after Amazon Studios, Prime Video, Freevee and MGM scored a total of 68 Primetime Emmy Award nominations Wednesday.
“I’m over the moon. There’s just a breath of recognition which doesn’t always happen,” the television executive told TheWrap. “I think these nominations really represent the fact that Amazon Studios, Freevee, MGM and Prime Video are destinations where talent can actually tell stories in bold innovative ways and take big swings and attempt to engage a global audience. That vision for the service and for Amazon Studios, that’s why I’m particularly proud.”
Prime Video’s critically acclaimed and fan-favorite series “The Marvelous Maisel” became the most Emmy-nominated streaming comedy ever with 80 nominations overall, adding 14 nominations to its 66-nomination tally with its fifth and final season.
