WATCHMEN Dominates This Year's Emmy Awards With 11 Wins, Including Best Limited Series

While The Mandalorian won its fair share of Creative Emmys, it was HBO's Watchmen that dominated proceedings during last night's main awards ceremony. 

It ultimately walked away with 11 wins, including "Best Limited Series," best acting wins for stars Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and writing award for showrunner Damon Lindelof and Cord Jefferson. Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross also won "Best Music Composition in a Limited Series" for Watchmen's memorable score. 

Additionally, Watchmen ended the night by also winning awards for best casting (Victoria Thomas and Meagan Lewis), best cinematography (Gregory Middleton), and best fantasy/sci-fi costumes (Sharen Davis and Valerie Zielonka). Needless to say, HBO has to be very pleased.

Whether this leads to another season remains to be seen, though you have to believe the cable network would love to recreate this success with more stories set in the world of Watchmen.

Well [frick]ing deserved. Best limited series in a long time.

Maybe this will encourage Alan Moore to watch the show. Someone should tell him that a sequel in a different medium doesn't count as an adaptation.

@InfinitePunches - Please, Alan Moore doesn't even like the stuff he has written, why would he like stuff others have.

One thing he does like though is For The Man Who Has Everything

At this point Regina King can't do no wrong.

@Kumkani - I rented her directorial debut from TIFF and it was [frick]ing stellar. Amazing actress, great director, a damn good voice actor and a MILF too

@Kumkani - I am SO excited to see One Night in Miami. I think her run through the awards season this year is just getting started.

Will it have to give back the awards if it does a second season, as then it’ll just be a drama and not a “limited series”?

Regardless, well deserved recognition for a great series.

@Chewtoy - Since they just called this one Watchmen, without actually doing watchmen, could always call another miniseries Doomsday Clock without actually doing Doomsday Clock

Also, I believe in Zendaya supremacy. Just saying.

@tmp3 - at the same time

Was really hoping for a Jeremy Irons win too, but oh well. Well deserved all around, the GOAT CBTV show

@tmp3 - Well, he was the one casting member I thoroughly disliked. Didn't feel at all like the regal that Ozymandias embodies in the source material.

I wasn't much of a fan of this show for various reasons, but I do recognize its merits, so bravo on the wins!

Well done, here's hoping we get a S2.

@dracula - Lindelof's last TV show before Watchmen was voted the best TV show of the 2010's according to Metacritic, taking into account lists from over 50 prominent TV writers and publications. What a terrible track record.

@Doomsday8888 - Lol
