WandaVision unexpectedly fails Primetime Emmys

[ad_1]

It wasn’t a wonderful night for WandaVision at the Emmys.

Marvel’s first original Disney + series, WandaVision, had a surprisingly weak performance at Sunday’s Emmys, contrary to what most pundits expected. The series, a tribute to the golden age of television that sees its main character travel through the history of the sitcom, did not score a victory at the ceremony on Sunday night.

This despite the fact that the superhero show won 23 Emmy nominations this year, and many pundits expected Paul Bettany, who plays Vision, to win the Emmy for Best Leading Actor in a Series or a limited or anthology film. Additionally, Kathryn Hahn was one of the favorites to win Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Film for her performance as Agnes. But Ewan McGregor got a surprise win over Bettany for Netflix Halston, while Julianne Nicholson beat Hahn for her Easttown mare performance. by netflix The Queen’s Gambit won a limited or exceptional anthology series, however WandaVision had not been a favorite in this category.

Had Bettany or Hahn won, it would have been rare instances of actors winning major awards for their performances in a Marvel Cinematic Universe project. To date, no MCU movie has ever won an Oscar or Golden Globe Award nomination, although Black Panther won Marvel its first Oscars in 2019 for costume design, production design, and sheet music. While WandaVision walked away empty-handed on Sunday, he has a few more Emmys under his belt – at the Creative Arts Emmys he won for outstanding fantasy / sci-fi costumes, outstanding original music and lyrics, and outstanding production design for a program narrative (half-hour). But with regard to the categories of actors who WandaVision seemed ready to win, it turns out it was Easttown mare and Halston all along.
