The full list of nominations for the 73rd Emmy Awards, which recognises the best in television, was released today.

The awards ceremony will be held on September 19, 2021 in Los Angeles, California.

McGregor played the title character of Roy Halston Frowick (known commonly just as Halston) in the 2021 miniseries charting the rise to international fame of the American fashion designer in the 1970s.

McGregor is up against some strong opposition for the coveted title of Best Actor.

The Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie nominations are:

Paul Bettany – WandaVision

Hugh Grant – The Undoing

Ewan McGregor – Halston

Lin-Manuel Miranda – Hamilton

Leslie Odom, Jr – Hamilton

Elsewhere, The Crown (also Netflix) was tied with Disney+ show The Mandalorian for the most nominations at this year’s awards. Both shows scored 24 total nods.

Olivia Colman, who plays the Queen in The Crown, will be up against Emma Corrin, who won critical acclaim for her portrayal of a young Diana, Princess of Wales, for outstanding lead actress in a drama series.

Josh O’Connor has been nominated in the male equivalent category for his portrayal of the Prince of Wales in The Crown’s fourth season, which covered a tumultuous 1980s for the royal family.

Gillian Anderson played Margaret Thatcher and is up for supporting actress in a drama series alongside Helena Bonham Carter, who portrayed Princess Margaret and Emerald Fennell, who starred as Camilla Parker Bowles.

Tobias Menzies is nominated for playing the Duke of Edinburgh.

All the actors will be replaced for The Crown’s upcoming fifth season, which will place a more recent era under the Netflix glare.

Both The Crown and Bridgerton are up for the prestigious outstanding drama series Emmy, alongside The Boys, The Handmaid’s Tale, This Is Us, Pose, The Mandalorian and Lovecraft Country.

Despite three previous nominations, The Crown has never won the prize.

Kate Winslet is nominated for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or movie for gritty detective drama Mare Of Easttown.

Her fellow nominees include Britons Michaela Coel for I May Destroy You and Cynthia Erivo for Genius: Aretha.

Anya Taylor-Joy is up for The Queen’s Gambit and Elizabeth Olsen for WandaVision.

Coel is also nominated for her directing and writing on sexual assault drama I May Destroy You.
