    I'm not just saying this because I'm a TV critic, honestly. But it seems like it's about time for the Emmys and the Oscars to switch places in Hollywood's status-obsessed pecking order.

    Think about it: the last Oscars season was focused on films many people would never see and handed out at a time the audience was still unsure about even stepping inside a movie theater.

    But the most-nominated series at this year's Emmycast includes one of Marvel's most popular streaming shows (WandaVision), plus the small screen reimagining of the Star Wars universe (The Mandalorian), the comedy with a pop culture profile you can't escape (Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso) and Netflix's hugely successful drama about England's royal family, The Crown.

    These are shows fans have actually seen – among a deluge of television content Hollywood's media conglomerates are spending billions to create.
