By Mike Murphy

Netflix Inc. received an impressive 129 nominations for the 73rd annual Emmy Awards on Tuesday, but that was only good for third place among its rivals.

A pair of multi-platform media giants -- the Walt Disney Co. $(DIS)$ and AT&T Inc.'s $(T)$ WarnerMedia -- took the top two spots, with Disney at 146 and Warner at 138, according to a tally by the Television Academy. Among individual platforms, Warner's HBO/HBO Max had 130 nominations -- one more than Netflix $(NFLX)$.
