Marvel is having quite the day in terms of Emmy nominations. After a strong recent run, including the second season of Daredevil: Born Again and animated event series Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies, the MCU is officially back in the win column thanks to Wonder Man. Series lead Yahya Abdul-Mateen II earned a nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for the superhero showbiz satire, marking Marvel Television’s first acting Emmy nomination in five years. However, that only accounted for one of 12 awards the comic giant’s shows are up for, with the other 11 going towards a title that isn’t even on Disney+.

In the end, the real big winner was Spider-Noir, from the trio of Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios, and Marvel Studios. The Nicolas Cage-led superhero crime hit premiered on Prime Video to rave reviews back in May, and that’s now been reflected in the 78th Emmy Award nominations, with recognition for everything from production design and music to prosthetic makeup, cinematography, stunt performance, and more. While none of the performances received nominations, nor did the show make the cut for Outstanding Drama, the awards the show is up for recognize its greatest strength — the campy, gorgeously crafted classic noir presentation. The series now has the second-most nominations of any Marvel television title to date, behind only WandaVision‘s staggering 23 in 2021.

Created by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, Spider-Noir‘s first season introduced Ben Reilly (Cage), a familiarly black-clad superhero detective who’s a bit different from his Spider-Verse counterpart. Living in 1930s New York, he’s haunted by a personal tragedy and his own past as The Spider, the city’s only superhero. Soon, however, the drunken, down-on-his-luck private eye is pulled back into business when a new case comes across his desk that he can’t ignore, forcing him to suit up once more and stop the villains plaguing the Big Apple. He’s not alone in his fight, joined by his friend and journalist Robbie Robertson (Lamorne Morris), his ever-loyal assistant Janet Ruiz (Karen Rodriguez), and femme fatale nightclub singer Cat Hardy (Li Jun Li).
