The Last of Us won eight Emmy Awards back in January after last year’s ceremony was delayed because of the strikes in Hollywood. Thee months later, Amazon’s Fallout show arrived and became a huge success both commercially and critically. Now it’s time for a real reminder of just how great the show is.
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has announced the nominees for the 76th Emmy Awards, and Fallout has been nominated for 16 awards with 17 nominations. This isn’t as many as The Last of Us, but maybe it can win more? Here’s the stuff Fallout can win:
- Outstanding drama series
- Outstanding lead actor in a drama series: Walton Goggins
- Outstanding writing for a drama series: Episode 1 – The End
- Outstanding production design: Episode 1 – The End
- Outstanding fantasy/sci-fi costumes: Episode 1 – The End
- Outstanding picture editing for a drama series: Episode 1 – The End and Episode 4 – The Ghouls
- Outstanding main title design
- Outstanding period or fantasy/sci-fi makeup (non-prosthetic): Episode 3 – The Head
- Outstanding prosthetic makeup: Episode 8 – The Beginning
- Outstanding music supervision: Episode 1 – The End
- Outstanding sound editing for a comedy or drama series (One Hour): Episode 2 – The Target
- Outstanding sound mixing for a comedy or drama series (One Hour): Episode 2 – The Target
- Outstanding special visual effects in a season or a movie
- Outstanding stunt coordination for drama programming
- Outstanding stunt performance
- Outstanding emerging media program: Fallout: Vault 33
You probably shouldn’t hold your breath for some of these, however. Take the one for best drama series as an example. Another candidate here is Shogun. The FX show leads the way this year with 25 nominations. Still, congratulations to Amazon, Bethesda, Leonard Boyarsky, Tim Cain and everyone else involved with the Fallout show and the franchise in general for all of these well-deserved nominations. We’ll see how many (let’s be optimistic and don’t write if, okie dokie?) Fallout wins in September.
