For quite some time now, HBO has been dominating the awards circuit for TV shows. But this year, Netflix has finally ended their streak with the most nominations for their originals series.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the streaming platform is now capitalizing on the freedoms that were previously only enjoyed by premium cable networks such as HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and Starz.

Those freedoms included the ability to show raw, less edited content on television that did not fall under the FCC's jurisdiction. That meant more scenes of graphic depictions of reality and fictional science fiction. This included nudity, graphic sex, disturbing violence and many other areas the FCC would fine a broadcaster for showing.

Now, Netflix is enjoying those freedoms for their subscribers and the streaming platform has been rolling out one hit after another with their content, which is usually given a TV-MA rating. That indicates the show is intended for a "Mature Audience."

That also means that the Golden Globes and the Emmys are able to expand their nominees to them as TV shows and can award them the same awards they previously only gave to on-air networks, given they were the only ones in the distant past that aired original content.

In the recent past, broadcast networks have long voiced their concern over HBO and other premium cable networks getting all the awards attention, while they were stuck under the FCC thumb and limited with what they could show. But Netflix is the first in a very long time to end their nominations streak.

While HBO still got eight nominations, it wasn't enough to catch up with Netflix's nine nominations.

By comparison, all of the Big 5 broadcast networks combined received a total of 11 nominations. That includes ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and The CW. But when compared to the streaming networks (Netflix, Amazon and Hulu), that pales in comparison to their 14 nominations. But still, the premium cable networks (HBO, Showtime and Starz) racked up a total of 14 combined as well.
