It diverged, however, in the two previous years. Animated nominees included Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Incredibles 2. Meanwhile, for television, previous year’s drama and comedy winners — The Handmaid’s Tale and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel respectively, return to defend their spots, as per reports. Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath (Nonfiction), Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (Talk) and The Voice (Competition) return after winning last year as well. The Nonfiction category this year consists of CNN’s Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown with the late host getting a posthumous nomination for the series’ final episode which aired post his demise in June. Winners will be unveiled at a ceremony in Beverly Hills on 19 January. (With inputs from agencies)
