Apple TV+ Has Received Nearly 400 Awards Nominations Since Launch

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+.
