Why it’s a worthy winner: This tale of an African-American Korean war vet (Majors) who travels across segregated Jim Crow America during the 1950s with his friend (Smollett) and uncle (Courtney B Vance) in search of his missing father (Michael Kenneth Williams) – encountering supernatural beings, shapeshifting, black magic and more – features stellar performances and a twisted plot inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft.

Nominations: 16 – including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie (Kate Winslet).

Why it’s a worthy winner: Winslet is sensational as a Pennsylvania detective pushed to the limits as she investigates a brutal murder while dealing with challenges in her personal life. The final episode set the record as the most-watched of any HBO Max Originals series in its first 24 hours, beating previous title holders The Undoing and The Flight Attendant.

POSE

Nominations: 9 – including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Billy Porter) and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Mj Rodriguez).

Why it’s a worthy winner: The third and final season of this ground-breaking series – about New York’s underground LGBTQIA+ ballroom culture during the height of the AIDS epidemic – scored a hefty haul. But special mention goes to Rodriguez, whose portrayal of house mother and nurse Blanca Rodriguez saw her make history as the first transgender performer to be nominated in a major acting category.

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT

Nominations: 9 – including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Kaley Cuoco).

Why it’s a worthy winner: Cuoco landed her first Emmy nod as alcoholic flight attendant Cassie Bowden in this gripping murder mystery, which she executive produced. Her performance is what makes the series – which has been renewed for a second season – such compelling viewing, the actress’s ability to seamlessly switch from comedy to drama truly remarkable.

I MAY DESTROY YOU

Watch all 12 episodes of Season 1 of this moving portrayal of trauma On Demand

Nominations: 9 – including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie (Michaela Coel).

Why it’s a worthy winner: Writer, creator, director, executive producer and star Coel’s brutally honest examination of consent – based on the BAFTA winning talent’s own sexual assault – is raw, emotional and heartbreaking, not to mention admirable and incredibly important viewing.

Other nominated series available On Demand on FOXTEL include Perry Mason, Euphoria, The Undoing, Raised By Wolves, Small Axe, Oslo and Friends: The Reunion. Plus with the integration of Netflix and SBS On Demand apps, viewers can enjoy even more Emmy nominated content, all in one place on FOXTEL.
