The Emmys are television’s equivalent of the Oscars.
LOS ANGELES – South Korea’s “Squid Game” is bidding to make Emmys history Monday by becoming the first foreign-language television show to win top honors for best drama.
The Netflix show — in which misfits and criminals compete for cash in barbaric and deadly versions of schoolyard games — is aiming to emulate the success of Oscar-winning South Korean movie “Parasite” with a triumph at TV’s top prize gala.
But it faces tough competition from previous winner “Succession,” the tale of a family vying for control of a media empire — rife with Shakespearean backstabbing — that earned the most nominations overall at 25.
