Emmys 2021: How many awards did Ted Lasso win?
By Mads Lennon
Ted Lasso was one of the most popular new series to come out in 2020, but how many awards did it win at the Emmy Awards 2021 where it was up against several tough competitors?
Last year, Ted Lasso was released on Apple TV+ at the perfect time. It came out during a difficult year when all of us needed a little bit of sunshine and the show became a smash hit for the fledgling streaming service. So it was no surprise that the hilarious comedy starring Jason Sudeikis has only increased in popularity during its sophomore season.
The show is currently airing its second season right now, but this year’s Emmy Awards are for the first season of the show. Next year will be about the comedy’s second season. How much do you love Ted Lasso? Are you happy that the show has been winning several awards already tonight?
*This list will be updated throughout the night as the Emmy Award winners are announced.
