Each year the Emmy awards are presented to “recognize excellence within various areas of television and emerging media,” according to the Television Academy. Excellence presents itself in programs both large and small, and many of the shows nominated for awards this year are lesser-known programs or niche specials. The most highly anticipated awards will be those coveted by the widely watched series that viewers love the most.
The 71st Emmy Awards will be held this year on Sunday, September 22, on FOX. For many television fans, the ceremony will offer a chance to see the cast and crew behind their favorite programs win awards for their work.
24/7 Tempo has identified the 50 most popular shows nominated for awards at this year’s Emmys, based on the number of user ratings on the movie and television info site Internet Movie Database (IMDb), the overall rating for each series, and the number of views each show’s Wikipedia page has received over the past year.
Some of the most popular Emmy-nominated shows have been on the air for years thanks to their large followings. Many of these programs have already won numerous Emmy awards and been nominated frequently over the years. These are the TV shows with the most Emmy wins of all time.

Shows including “Fleabag,” “Chernobyl,” and “The Umbrella Academy” only received their first nominations this year yet rank among the most popular programs. These shows appear on Amazon, Netflix, and HBO. Here are the best original HBO series.
