Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ season 5 earned seven Emmy nominations, but was omitted from the Best Drama Series category in its history in its run. The nominations feature work by Wētā FX, which got a further nod for visual effects. Cast member Millie Bobby Brown said that co‑stars kept an eye on her diet while filming.
Emmy analysts view The Pitt, Widow’s Bay and Beef ahead in the awards race. The three programmes have collected about 60 nominations together, putting them significantly ahead of the sci‑fi series. The show has evolved into a cultural phenomenon since its debut. Fans are hopeful that the series will regain a drama slot next year.
