Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily for Thursday, July 15th, 2021.

On today's episode of the show, we're going to be talking about the latest film and TV news.

My name is Ben Pearson. I am a senior writer at slash film.com and I'm joined on today's episode by slash film news editor, White Charn Boet.

Hey everyone, I haven't done that greeting in a while, I just realized.

Yeah, it's been busy. You've been busy here, H.C. like, you know, moving up in your promoted role and everything, so I'm excited to have

nominees with 24 nods. Each Wand division was huge two with 23 nominations.

So it's big for historical dramas and for genre shows

been chasing that Game of Thrones high for the past couple years and they have been attempting to

capture that with the Mandalorian and now with Wanda Vision,

Wanda Vision being a slightly better show for that, but still is just kind of,

it's just, it's a very interesting sort of crossroads that the Emmys have found themselves at this year.

Yeah, totally.

And you know, one of the other big stories of the night, I guess, was that Ted Lasso

locked down 20 nominations,

which I think is the first time a freshman show
