The Emmy Awards are the pinnacle of television success. They are awards presented by an academy recognizing the best in television. In July, the 2023 Emmy nominations were announced, and Disney secured dozens of nominations for much of their programming across both terrestrial television and streaming. And while it may take a while for us to know who won due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, let’s look at some of the 2023 Emmy-nominated shows on Disney+.
