The Emmy Juried Awards aren’t your usual Emmy race where nominees wait weeks to find out who takes the trophy. These honors work differently. They’re decided by small panels of experts who judge each entry on its own, with no direct competition and they can hand out as many or as few awards as they believe are deserved.
One title really stood out in this niche area in 2025: Love, Death + Robots. It became popular after its release by Netflix and established a global fandom in the animated anthology space. What's unique about the show is that it did not restrict those stories to being strictly science fiction.
The anthology mixes fantasy, dark humor, and horror to make sure that the audience engages with the story. Using great concepts and storylines, with impressive visuals and storytelling, Netflix's Love, Death + Robots has been awarded the Emmy Juried Awards.
