Squid Game Wins Big At Primetime Emmys
According to the latest reports, Squid Game’s Lee Jung-Jae won for lead actor in a drama series. While on the other hand, Hwang Dong-hyuk won the award for outstanding directing of a drama series. You must be thinking why is it a huge success? The fact is that until this year, non-English dramas have never won or even been nominated in a major category at the Primetime Emmy awards. So, after winning at Emmys, Netflix and Squid Game have made history.
Scoring Emmys don’t necessarily unlock rewards for a service other than bragging rights. However, with competition continuing to intensify between services vying for your eyeballs and subscription dollars, striking Emmy wins like Netflix’s can grab attention towards one service as a go-to place for decorated programming. No doubt, Squid Game, as a global phenomenon, was already unrivalled. Almost everyone knows that the South Korean thriller about a dystopian survival competition ignited as an unexpected global hit late last year. Netflix counts this show as the most-watched program it has ever released, with more than 1.65 billion hours of the show streamed in its first four weeks. Isn’t it amazing?? First Netflix Program was nominated in 2013, and last year it won the most awards of any network or service. So, it is for sure a big success for the streaming service.
