Here are some of the landmark wins that could take place on Sunday
Every Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony seems to set a few new records, and Sunday’s 73rd Emmy show will be no different. For starters, if “Saturday Night Live” wins anything — and let’s face it, “SNL” always wins something at the Emmys — it will break and extend its own record as the winningest program in Emmy history. But there are other records that could fall on Sunday, too, among them records for diversity and a potential new mark for a network or platform in a single year. Here are a dozen records to watch: • If Netflix wins in 11 of the 19 categories in which it is nominated on Sunday, which is possible if “The Crown” and “The Queen’s Gambit” clean up, it will break CBS’ record for the most wins by a network in a single year. Netflix goes into the ceremony with 34 wins from last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, which is already the most it has ever won in a single year. CBS’ record, which was set in 1974, is 44. • If Black actors win in four of the 11 acting categories in which they are nominated, it will set a new Emmy record for the most Black acting winners in a single year, with 10. At last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, Black actors won in six of the seven acting categories.
