Cable Dominates Again at the Emmys, but Netflix Shapes the Night
Posted in: UncategorizedVictories for HBO and AMC may have prevented a Netflix takeover at the Emmys on Sunday, but the streaming video platform still made history when its “House of Cards” became the first digital-first series to win in a major category when David Fincher took home outstanding director of a drama.
Although the show’s other major nominations, for outstanding drama series and for acting by Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, did not lead to wins, its presence was felt throughout the night.
Emmys host Neil Patrick Harris began with a skit involving him binge-watching TV shows, a phenomenon promoted by Netflix.
