"Take a step back," says Kevin Spacey at the start of Netflix's new Emmys campaign video. "We have the opportunity to make history here."

The brisk ad intercuts scenes from Netflix shows with its latest accomplishments: Two nominations for "Hemlock Grove," three for "Arrested Development" and nine for "House of Cards," including for Outstanding Drama Series.
