2020 Netflix Emmy nomination billboards...

This summer Netflix forwent their traditional Emmy consideration campaigning outdoors (perhaps in part due to the coronavirus pandemic), although they did instead support their Black Lives Matter Collection with billboards and thanked their cast and crew in the same time period.

However the streaming giant still managed to score a whopping 160 nominations, setting an industry record and beating its rival HBO, who captured 107 nods this season.

One drama receiving well deserved attention this season was the German-American mini-series, Unorthodox, starring Shira Haas as a Jewish woman fleeing her arranged marriage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The series is based on Deborah Feldman's 2012 autobiography, Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots, and these evocative Emmy nominations billboards were snapped along the Sunset Strip and Pico Boulevard on August 11, 2020.

Netflix's historical royal drama following Queen Elizabeth II's reign, The Crown, returned for a third season this qualifying awards period with an all-new cast of actors playing the regal clan and their British government.

Olivia Colman received recognition for her portrayal of Britain's longest-reigning monarch and Helena Bonham Carter also garnered a supporting actress nomination for playing her sister, Princess Margaret. 

The period drama also nabbed a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series for the third consecutive season.

These season three Emmy nominations billboards for The Crown were spied along the Sunset Strip, Santa Monica Boulevard and Beverly Boulevard from August 10 to August 14, 2020.

The streaming service's money-laundering drama Ozark was also an Emmy nomination powerhouse this year, delivering eighteen nods.

Jason Bateman, Laura Linney and Julia Garner all received nominations for their roles in the gritty crime drama for its third season.

Jason Bateman surprised with an Outstanding Directing win last year, so let's see how many accolades the show can take home this season, especially as the drama's fourth season will be its last, even though the fate of the 'Byrde' family in Missouri's Ozarks will be split in two halves. 

Another drama adding to Netflix's impressive nominations showing this year was the mini-series, Unbelievable.

Based on true events, Kaitlyn Dever plays a victim of sexual assault accused of lying about her rape, when two female Colorado detectives, played by Toni Collette and Merritt Wever, decide to investigate further and uncover the truth.

Hope, grace, class, empathy, civility, compassion, everything missing from this current corrupt administration. If you need to lift your spirits this election cycle, make sure you watch the Becoming documentary featuring Michelle Obama (if you already haven't) to learn to hope once again.

Nadia Hallgren's documentary about the former First Lady has earned four Emmy nominations and this emotion-filled billboard was photographed along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip on August 11, 2020.

If you like this eclectic assortment of nominee ad creatives which represent around 100 of the streamers accolades this season, make sure you compare these billboards to last year's Emmy consideration billboards for Netflix and their 2019 Emmy nominations outdoor ad campaign.

Let's see how many statuettes Netflix can take home this year and it'll be interesting to see if new entrants in the Streaming Wars will affect the platform's future success.
