Actor Don Cheadle is nominated for Guest Actor in a Drama in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier for less than 100 seconds of screen time. The show is also nominated for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series, Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Season, Outstanding Stunt Coordination and Outstanding Stunt Performance.

Given the recent success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) during the MTV Awards this year, it seems likely that some of these nominations may turn into wins too.

Other Disney+ shows that take lead is the Star Wars western-adventure The Mandalorian earning 24 nominations including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Giancarlo Esposito as well as Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for Timothy Timothy Olyphant and Carl Weathers.
