Television has changed like never before in recent years. Now we connect our televisions to the internet, not to the antenna, and visit platforms, not channels. As a result, it is normal for the productions from the platforms to come to the fore in the awards.
The structure of the new platforms is also different from being department-based. In addition, the absence of supervisory boards provides platforms with a wider range of motion. Traditional channels wouldn’t have aired if Amazon hadn’t released The Boys, and Netflix had the Squid Game. Even if there was a channel to broadcast, they wouldn’t be this famous. This popularity change also changes the rewards. The last example of this is Squid Game.
Squid Game nominated for Emmy Awards
The nominees for 2022 have been announced at the Emmy Awards, which are seen as the Oscars of television. One of the nominees in this year’s Featured Drama Series category was Squid Game, which also made Netflix smile. Thus, the Korean drama managed to be the first production to be nominated for an award in this category, even though its language was not English.
A month ago, Netflix announced that the second season of Squid Game would come. For this reason, the series was included in the Featured Drama Series category. In addition, the 13 nominations that the production received in total drew attention.
In this category, Squid Game will compete against Better Call Saul, Euphoria, Ozark, Severance, Stranger Things, Succession, and Yellowjackets. Most of these series are on platforms that broadcast over the internet.
Squid Game seems to break an important ground for Asian TV series. So which of these series would you choose?
