The docuseries, nominated for six awards, secured wins for outstanding cinematography and outstanding picture editing. Reynolds, expressing gratitude in his acceptance, playfully referred to himself as “Mr.
Lively” in a nod to wife Blake Lively. The series revolves around the Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC, offering an intimate portrayal of its acquisition by Reynolds and McElhenney in 2020.
