Disney Plus Series 'WandaVision' Won First-Ever Emmy Award For Marvel Studios

Mumbai, September 13, 2021: Marvel Studios' popular and critically acclaimed superhero series, "WandaVision", which premiered on Disney Plus, scored big at the 2021 Creative Arts Emmys, presented across three ceremonies over Saturday and Sunday.

WandaVision, which focuses on Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), won three Emmy awards including Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, Outstanding Production Design, and Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for 'Agatha All Along'. This is the first-ever victory for Marvel Studios at the Emmys.



WandaVision had also earned 23 Emmy nominations, making it the highest for a limited series and second-highest for a series, overall. Meanwhile, Netflix's chess-themed drama show "The Queen's Gambit" topped with 9 awards followed by "The Mandalorian" with seven Emmys.

Another Marvel series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan was nominated for five Emmy awards. However, the show did not manage to pick up a trophy. In terms of company and platform totals from the awards handed out over all three ceremonies, Netflix leads with a total of 34 wins, followed by 13 for Disney+ and 10 for HBO/HBO Max.

Marvel Studios, which has always focussed on the big screen experience, is slowly getting into the award season. In 2018, it won three Oscars in Best Production Design, Best Original Score, and Best Costume Design for Black Panther. The studio has high hopes for the forthcoming superhero movie, "Eternals", which is directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao.
