Disney+’s original
Star Wars series,
The Mandalorian, got off to a strong start with 15 Emmy nominations. That includes a Best Drama Series nomination, as well as a nod for guest star Giancarlo Esposito. However, Taika Waititi had an acting nomination as well for Best Voice-Over Performance for his turn as IG-11. Additionally,
The Mandalorian dominated technical categories including production design, editing, makeup, music composition, sound editing, sound mixing, stunt coordination, and special visual effects.
The Mandalorian also received nominations for Outstanding Cinematography and Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes. The series may be a longshot in the Best Drama category, but it seems likely to clean up in the other fields.
