LOS ANGELES: “Watchmen,” cloaked in superhero mythology and grounded in real-world racism, received a leading 26 nominations Tuesday for the prime-time Emmy Awards. “Zendaya!” exclaimed Emmy announcement host Leslie Jones, her gleeful reaction to the “Euphoria” star’s nomination as best actress in a drama. Netflix, although the Emmy veteran among streamers, has yet to win a best comedy or drama series trophy. Issa Rae returned to the best comedy actress category for her series “Insecure,” which earned a best comedy bid. “Also, it’s given some optimism to people and some hope.”“The Good Place,” which also came to an end, earned a best comedy bid and, for Ted Danson, a best comedy actor nomination.
