2020 Emmys: Where to Watch the Most Nominated Shows

The countdown to the 2020 Emmy Awards is on!

This year’s nominees were announced during a virtual event last week, and soon it’ll be time for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to honor the best in TV programming at the Sept. 20 ceremony.

Though we don’t quite know any details on the awards show’s format yet—even host Jimmy Kimmel previously admitted, “I don’t know where we will do this or how we will do this or even why we are doing this, but we are doing it and I am hosting it,”—we do know that it’s going to be an amazing night for many (especially these first-time nominees!).

But since there’s still plenty of time left until TV’s biggest night, why not catch up on the most nominated series? 

Watchmen leads all of the nominees with 26 nods, though The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Succession, Ozark and Saturday Night Live aren’t far behind.

We’ve rounded up a list of these series and other top nominees, along with where you can watch them. 

Whether you’re a committed awards season devotee that simply couldn’t keep up with all of your favorite shows week-to-week, or you’re just in need of a new show to watch, look no further than the below series!

Created by Damon Lindelof, Watchmen continues the mid-1980s DC Comics series of the same name by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons. More specifically, the HBO series takes place 34 years after the original story in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

There, a white supremacist attack on the local police department leaves only two surviving cops. As a result, laws are passed that allow the cops to hide their identities behind masks. One of the officers, Angela Abar (Regina King), goes on to adopt the identity of Sister Night and fights racists while dealing with the decades-long legacy of the vigilantes.
