Winners will be announced virtually in June
“Ted Lasso,” the “Euphoria” Christmas special and Michaela Coel’s “I May Destroy You” are among the 60 Peabody Award nominees for 2021, the organization’s board of jurors announced Tuesday.
The nominations span documentaries, news programming, television and streaming. PBS led the pack with 12 nominations for its nonfiction programming like the recent “Asian Americans” series and “PBS NewsHour” coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic. Netflix and HBO followed with nine and five nominations, respectively.
The 30 winners will be announced a ceremony to be held virtually in June.
“During an incredibly turbulent and difficult year, these nominees rose to the occasion and delivered compelling and empowering stories,” said Martha Nelson, chair of the Peabody Board of Jurors. “From Covid-19 coverage to poignant explorations of identity, each nominee not only told a powerful story but also made a significant impact on media programming and the cultural landscape.
