Disney Plus won its first Emmy awards last night, thanks to The Mandalorian - The Verge

The Mandalorian won awards for Outstanding Special Visual Effects, Outstanding Cinematography for a Single Camera Series, Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series, Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series, and Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program.

The Mandalorian was nominated for 19 awards in total, including Outstanding Performance by a Guest Actor (for Giancarlo Esposito’s role as Moff Gideon) and Outstanding Drama.

The latter nomination came as a surprise to many — likely including Disney executives — as the company made no real effort to even campaign the series as an Outstanding Drama contender during the “for your consideration” period.
