Marvel Studios earned its first-ever Emmy nominations in major categories thanks to the hit limited series "WandaVision."
The nominations for 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday and "WandaVision" landed 23 nominations overall.
Directed by Matt Shankman and written by Jac Schaeffer, the nine-episode series debuted in January and centered on the lives of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (played by Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) as they settled into a suburban neighborhood called Westview.
The series was inspired by iconic sitcoms throughout the decades, as the mystery unraveled each week and explored Wanda's grief after losing Vision during the battle against Thanos in Wakanda.
"WandaVision" landed an Emmy nomination for best limited or anthology series, while Olsen and Bettany received respective nods for lead actress and lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie. Olsen and Bettany also became first-time Emmy nominees.
Kathryn Hahn, who was a scene-stealer as a witch named Agatha Harkness, earned a nod for supporting actress in a limited or anthology series or movie. Her catchy track titled "Agatha All Along" also received a nomination for outstanding original music and lyrics.
Additionally, "WandaVision" got nominations for directing, writing, fantasy/sci-fi costumes, production design, casting, editing, period and/or character hairstyling
"WandaVision" isn't the only Marvel show that secured nominations this year.
"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," which centered on the dynamic between Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), earned five nominations. Don Cheadle's brief appearance as James Rhodes/War Machine on the series premiere landed the star a nod for guest actor in a drama series.
The 2021 Emmys will take place on Sunday, September 19 from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with a limited live audience. The show will be hosted by Cedric the Entertainer and air live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET.
