Ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe expanded onto the small screen, Marvel Studios has made it a point to showcase its slate for awards considerations, specifically aiming for the coveted Emmy Award. The initiative began with WandaVision, with the studio releasing campaign posters and a long list of awards considerations for the Academy to notice. This was followed by the same campaigns for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki.
Ultimately, the campaign paid off as WandaVision made history by nabbing an Emmy for Marvel Studios. The Elizabeth Olsen-led series won the award for "Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program (half-hour)" at the 2021 Creative Arts Emmys.
Now, it looks like Marvel Studios and Disney will look to replicate WandaVision's Emmy win by pushing for more awards campaigns for other MCU shows.

Will Hawkeye Be Nominated for an Emmy?
Once again, Marvel Studios is going all-out for its award campaign. Hawkeye had an incredible run on Disney+, and it looks like the studio is banking on that success in order to capture Emmy nominations.
While it's unlikely that Hawkeye will be nominated for any major awards, the fact that Marvel Studios campaigned for a plethora of categories could hint that the Jeremy Renner-led series could nab at least a few nominations.
Hawkeye and WandaVision had a common denominator: they both have an original song under their belt. WandaVision won an Emmy for Kathryn Hahn's "Agatha All Along," and history could repeat itself with Hawkeye's "Save the City" from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
Meanwhile, even though Florence Pugh and Vincent D'Onofrio began to appear in the later episodes, both stars had memorable performances throughout their appearance. It's possible that the Emmy will consider nominations for one or even both of them, thus making history for Marvel Studios.
Hawkeye is streaming on Disney+.
