What’s most impressive about this year’s noms, however, is the way they demonstrate just how malleable the very definition of “television” has become. The Emmys have room for not only a streaming-service hit like The Handmaid’s Tale, but also a viral-video-series-turned-comedy-smash (Billy on the Street), a Squarespace commercial starring John Malkovich, the opening credits for Stranger Things, SamanthaBee.com, and a few virtual reality experiences. Unlike other award competitions, it's an all-encompassing, free-wheeling overview of all manner of delights and distractions, no matter the size of the screen they played on.
