Apple TV+ Has Received Nearly 400 Awards Nominations Since Launch

[MacRumors]

Apple this week announced that, to date, Apple TV+ films and series have received 389 awards nominations and have won 112 awards since the streaming service launched in November 2019. The company said Apple TV+ has "received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut."

Recent award wins for Apple TV+ include hit comedy series "Ted Lasso" receiving a Peabody Award for excellence in storytelling, while Apple also earned two Critics Choice Real TV Awards for Oprah Winfrey's talk series "The Oprah Conversation" and the musician docuseries "1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything."

Rival streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ do not appear to have readily available awards statistics for comparison, but Netflix secured a record-breaking 160 Emmy Awards nominations in 2020 alone, compared to 18 for Apple TV+. Netflix has been streaming original content since 2013, however, giving it a six year lead on Apple TV+.

Apple TV+ has more original content coming over the next several months:

• "Central Park" animated musical comedy series: season two premieres June 25
• "Ted Lasso" comedy series: season two premieres July 23
• "Truth Be Told" anthology drama series: season two premieres August 20
• "See" sci-fi drama series: season two premieres August 27
• "The Morning Show" drama series: season two premieres September 17
• "Invasion" sci-fi thriller series: premieres October 22
• "The Shrink Next Door" dark comedy series: premieres November 12

Apple TV+ costs $4.99 per month, with a seven-day free trial available to all users. Apple TV+ is also included free for one year when you purchase and activate a qualifying Apple device through June 30, 2021 — it's dropping to three months after this date.

I received a free trial early this year when I bought my MacBook, should give it a try, did not yet.

 

[ScottishDuck]

That's a 1:1 ratio of awards to viewers. Impressive!

 

[matt_and_187_like_this]

Awards per Dollar spent is the metric I'd be interested in.

 

[gugy]

Congrats, but I still not compelled to subscribe to it. IDK, maybe someday.

 

[Rafagon]

Isn't that Jennifer Aniston in the photograph?

And why is she looking away from the camera?

 

[Corsig]

And I can still hardly find anything I want to watch besides Ted Lasso

 

[ghost187]

I pay $30 for Apple One for the family because of music and iCloud, but I’m seriously considering downgrading because all the other services are so bad that they don’t combine to be worth $5.

 

[Stella]

But how many paying subscribers are there?

"Squirrel!"

 

[longofest]

I didn't know they gave out Apple Design Awards for AppleTV+ shows too...

 

[robjulo]

That picture sums up everything wrong with Tim Cook's Apple.

 

[jasheeky]

Notice Tim Cook being respectful with his hands.

 

[Flight Plan]

People are starting to quote Ted Lasso. So I ask them "what's that, something about a cowboy?"

My hope is to make everybody within the reach of my voice start to rephrase their cultural witticisms in terms of "Lost in Space" and "Bewitched". And for the truly annoying, I'll make 'em all respond to me in terms of "I Love Lucy", "Murder She Wrote", and "Matlock".

I'm certain that my dearly departed mother would appreciate my mad trolling skills, and she might even put in a good word with Saint Peter for me. Yeah, probably not...

Use it soon. They come with a time limit on activation.

Awards per Dollar spent is the metric I'd be interested in.

That pretty much means not greenlighting anything that requires a significant production budget due to exaggerated risk.

Absolutely watch Ted Lasso, it's brilliant and charming. I'd also recommend Mythic Quest, and I thought For All Mankind, was good, as well. They don't have a ton of content, yet, and their stories may or may not appeal to you (preferences vary, obviously), but their production values are all uniformly top-notch, from what I've seen. Give it a try. And definitely watch Ted Lasso.

 

[BWhaler]

It’s great content at a great price. One of the better subscriptions.

I think the fundamental challenge is there is so so much great content out there, especially when factoring in games, podcasts, etc. This is a challenge for all subscription services.

 

[Realityck]

It's one of the few streaming services that you can scan all their content in a few minutes.

 

[Royksöpp]

There was a scene in the morning show where someone told Jennifer Aniston they bought her an award. I don’t know why, but that line has just stuck with me. Oh the irony.

 

[Flight Plan]

Notice Tim Cook being respectful with his hands.

Only on the one side. But w/Jennifer? Maybe he's a ventriloquist in training? That's it, HE'S THE ONE MAKING HER LOOK AWAY FROM THE CAMERA!

I will say, I admire Cook's snappy choice of footwear there. Maybe he's frugal and shops at DSW like I do? I just would NEVER pair blue and brown together like that. Is he color blind?

 

[robjulo]

Notice Tim Cook being respectful with his hands.

Are the two women being disrespectful?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Tim Cook looking Snazzy!

 

[Boris Bronson]

Isn't that Jennifer Aniston in the photograph?

And why is she looking away from the camera?

Asking why she’s been stood next to Lily Savage.

 

[geetfun]

Isn't that Jennifer Aniston in the photograph?

And why is she looking away from the camera?

Reed Hastings is there and she wanted to rush over to talk to him about getting a series on Netflix. It's just a guess, but I'm pretty sure that's it.

 

[robotfist]

Wow. We should all congratulate this massive, global corporation for winning so many meaningless, entertainment awards!
