Hulu’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ has several nominations — including Best Drama Series and Best Lead Actress in a Drama. The series took home ‘Outstanding Drama Series’ last year.
‘Atlanta’ and ‘black-ish’ both earned nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series while ‘black-ish’ stars Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson each scored one for Outstanding Lead in a Comedy Series.
Issa Rae also earned a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role on ‘Insecure.’
