Emma Corrin y Josh O’Connor from the beginning of this career they have been the favorites in the categories of best actress and leading actor in drama. If they both get the statuette, and The Crown The best drama wins, it will be the first time this triplet has been achieved since Homeland did the same with its first season (2012).

Actually, the series has possibilities with all its acting candidates, so it could be the first drama series to achieve full in all the performance awards given at the gala in its category. Before they got it Angels in America (miniseries) and last year Schitt’s Creek in comedy.

After Laverne Cox’s milestone (four guest actress nominations by Orange is The New Black), Rodriguez’s sole nomination for Pose has already been a record, because it is the first trans actress to compete in a major category of interpretation.

She is also the second Latin actress to be nominated, and if she wins, she would be the first to get the statuette, because Rita Moreno did not win when she competed in 1970 for The Rockford Files. The industry still has a long way to go in terms of Latino representation.

5. Sterling K. Brown or Billy Porter can match a record
