Streaming platforms like Amazon Prime and Netflix dominate the 2019 Emmy Awards, with interactive media also making history. HBO still leads the overall victory count despite the strong internet-based competition.
Streaming services dominate the 2019 Emmy Awards as Amazon Prime's Fleabag and Netflix's Ozark bring home multiple major trophies during the live broadcast. Phoebe Waller-Bridge leads the night by earning four wins for Fleabag across top comedy categories, while Netflix secures a historic victory for its interactive Black Mirror episode, Bandersnatch, which takes home the Outstanding Television Movie award.
Netflix earns four wins during the televised ceremony, including acting trophies for Jharrel Jerome in When They See Us and both Julia Garner and Jason Bateman for their roles in Ozark. Amazon's Marvelous Ms. Maisel adds two more wins in the supporting acting categories, further cementing the streaming giant's strong presence at the event. These broadcast victories highlight the growing influence of internet-delivered programming over traditional television formats.
When combining the televised broadcast with the Creative Arts Emmy awards, Netflix claims 27 total wins compared to Amazon's 15, while Hulu and YouTube earn four each. Tech companies like Twitch, Apple Music, and the Oculus Store each receive one trophy, signaling an expansion of Emmy recognition into new media.
