This morning was a big morning for fans of Disney’s television series, not to mention the talented folks who bring them to your nearest screen. The Disney|ABC Television Group received a total of 45 primetime Emmy nominations. With ESPN’s seven nominations, Disney’s media networks combined for a whopping 52 Emmy nods for 2017.
Dancing with the Stars is hoping to add an entire shelf of Emmys to complement its own Mirror Ball statue. The series was the most-honored from ABC, with seven nominations in six categories—including two for Outstanding Choreography, which went to dancer extraordinaire Derek Hough and the series own choreographer, Mandy Moore.
ABC was well-represented in the talent categories, with black-ish’s Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, respectively. Both were also nominated last year (and this marks the third consecutive year that Anderson was recognized!). How to Get Away with Murder’s Viola Davis—who won for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series—is also nominated for the third year in a row; and American Crime’s Felicity Huffman (Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie) and Regina King (Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie) are also repeat nominees.
The beloved Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts series garnered two of the eight nominations that went to Disney Channels—Outstanding Short Form Animated Program and Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for Duck the Halls: A Mickey Mouse Christmas Special. And Disney’s newest princess was honored with an Emmy nomination. Elena and the Secret of Avalor was recognized for Outstanding Animated Program.
O.J.: Made in America, ESPN’s critically acclaimed documentary received six nominations, including Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking.
