The race for the Limited Series Emmy comes down to two critically acclaimed programs, Ava DuVernay’s “When They See Us” and Craig Mazin’s “Chernobyl.” The former has 16 Emmy nods overall while the latter has 19. The true differentiator, however, may come from the Television Academy’s performer peer group. “When They See Us” earned an eye-popping eight acting nominations whereas “Chernobyl” landed just three. That difference in support could be what pushes the DuVernay’s Netflix decades-spanning drama over the top. Maybe. [Updated August 14].
