The Mandalorian is up for plenty of awards
Disney's The Mandalorian has been nominated for a massive 24 awards at the 2021 Emmys.
The Emmys are one of the biggest American award ceremonies for TV shows.
The Mandalorian is up for best drama series as well as several other awards in technological categories.
It is the most nominated series alongside The Crown, the Netflix show about the UK Monarchy, at this year's awards.
The award show will take place on Sunday, 19 September.
Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and her husband Vision (Paul Bettany) star in WandaVision on Disney+
The Emmy Awards are made by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Only members of the academy may vote for the awards, and members vote only within their own area - actors voting for actors, writers for writers, and so on.
The name Emmy comes from 'Immy', a nickname for image orthicons, a camera tube used in early television cameras.
The Emmy Award statuette consists of a winged woman, representing art, holding up an electron, representing science.
The Mandalorian's 24 nominations are closely followed by another Disney+ favourite, WandaVision, which got 23 nominations.
The winners will be voted for by 20,000 members of the American Television Academy.
The awards are considered very important in the film and TV world.
At 2020's awards, Zendaya broke records by becoming the youngest ever winner of the Best Drama Actress award.
