[VeryGooster]

If he qualifies I hope Tituss Burgess gets a supporting nod for Kimmy Schmidt.

 

[blame space]

Elizabeth Moss better fucking win.

 

[Dany]

Homeland was great last season, best season yet.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

So can Doctor Who not be nominated for and Emmy being a British show on BBC? I seem to remember something about that last year. Sherlock got nominated because it also appears on PBS.

 

[Tucah]

If he qualifies I hope Tituss Burgess gets a supporting nod for Kimmy Schmidt.

He did.

 

[Haloid1177]

If he qualifies I hope Tituss Burgess gets a supporting nod for Kimmy Schmidt.

He did! I was super happy to see that too.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Game of Thrones really should not be a nominee, thats a spot that should have went to Hannibal or Justified. Also best comedy continues to be irrelevant by ignoring Sunny. Its a top 5 of all time comedy and they did some of their best work this season. Shameful.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

If he qualifies I hope Tituss Burgess gets a supporting nod for Kimmy Schmidt.

He's in.

All the nominees are up on the emmy site right now.

Andre Braugher - Brooklyn Nine Nine
Keegan Key - Key & Peele (how is he a SUPPORTING ACTOR)
Adam Driver - Girls
Ty Burrell - Modern Family
Tituss Burgess - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Tony Hale - Veep

Outstanding Drama Series
"Better Call Saul" (2015) - YES
"Downton Abbey" (2011) - NO, what a joke show.
“Game of Thrones” (2011) - I can see why, on a technical level, the show is really impressive, but meh

"House of Cards" (2013) - sure, why not
"Homeland" (2011) - garbage
"Mad Men" (2007) - Yes, for sure - should win.
"Orange Is the New Black" (2013) - yes, absolutely.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Alright, seems like I should jump back into Homeland.

 

[MarauderShields]

Emilia Clarke for best supporting actress? What is this nonsense. Heady I can understand but Clarke is awful.

I can accept anyone on the show getting nominated but her. She is horrendous.

 

[ryseing]

Dinklage better win supporting actor this year. Category is not full.

Dinklage wasn't that great this season and Mendelsohn was the only good thing about Bloodlines.

He did.

YESSSSS

Pinot Noire is classic.

 

[Haloid1177]

Jessica Lange being nominated for her last season of AHS is laughable.

 

[dave is ok]

Seems like Mad Men's year.

Game of Thrones really should not be a nominee, thats a spot that should have went to Hannibal or Justified. Also best comedy continues to be irrelevant by ignoring Sunny. Its a top 5 of all time comedy and they did some of their best work this season. Shameful.

Hannibal should take House of Card's spot before GoT, though both shouldn't be nominated anyway.

 

[IronRinn]

Really hope Jonathan Banks wins. Still pissed to see that no one from Justified or The Americans is on this list. (Though it looks like The Americans got a nomination for Writing.)

Game of Thrones deserves that spot over the painfully mediocre Homeland.

 

[rekameohs]

This is interesting:

Keegan-Michael Key is nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy for Key & Peele.

I agree that Peele is the better actor, but that's hilarious to put Key in that category

 

[Sapiens]

Where the hell is "The Americans"?

Justified had an incredible season as well!

Fucking ripping off Graham Yost.

 

[-griffy-]

So can Doctor Who not be nominated for and Emmy being a British show on BBC? I seem to remember something about that last year. Sherlock got nominated because it also appears on PBS.

The show airs on BBC America in the US so I would think it qualifies. It just isn't really something that the Emmy's would nominate.

Congrats to Tatiana Maslany. Boo to the lack of Parks and Rec supporting noms and lack of overall The Americans noms (though it did get nom in writing for the best episode title, "Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep, which warrants another post of this gif:

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Dinklage wasn't that great this season and Mendelsohn was the only good thing about Bloodlines.

IMO the most interesting storyline this season of GoT was Dinklage. He was the story.

 

[blame space]

Jonathan Banks' performance in "Five-O" is worth an Emmy.

 

[brickarts295]

Flash got a nom for Visuals, Daredevil and Gotham for Sound, Walking Dead for Stunts and funny enough 24 got a nom for Music XD

 

[IronRinn]

I really want Key & Peele to win Best Variety, but I think momentum is on Schumer's side (I like her show, just not as much as K&P).

 

[the_firewithin]

IMO the most interesting storyline this season of GoT was Dinklage. He was the story.

Dinklage is always the best part of GoT and makes pretty much everybody around him better too

 

[Steelyuhas]

Dinklage wasn't that great this season and Mendelsohn was the only good thing about Bloodlines.

I think Dinklage absolutely should have won last year, but yeah if I had a vote, I'd go Mendelsohn this year.

[higgsboson1997]

Drama is going to come down between Game of Thrones and Mad Men. Hope GoT wins.

 

[chadskin]

Emmys continue to pick the "classics" instead of a show like The Americans, The Affair, Halt and Catch Fire or, God forbid, a quality network show like Parenthood. Ugh.

Happy for Kyle Chandler and Tatiana Maslany, though, these two totally deserve the nod.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I really want Key & Peele to win Best Variety,

Wait, hold up.

Key & Peele is nominated for best VARIETY SERIES, but not comedy
But Keegan Key is nominated for best supporting actor in a COMEDY SERIES - for Key & Peele.

This is almost weirder than the idea that Key, whose name comes first in the title of his comedy show, is nominated for supporting actor.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Last Week Tonight needs to win, but seeing it up against the end of Colbert Report and The Daily Show makes that tough as hell.

 

[styl3s]

Flash got a nom for Visuals, Daredevil and Gotham for Sound, Walking Dead for Stunts and funny enough 24 got a nom for Music XD

Flash deserves that spot for visuals for the visual stuff they did with the gorilla alone. Daredevil should get a nod for best supporting actor as well with Vincent D'Onofrio.

 

[ivysaur12]

I'm actually a little surprised that The Americans got shut out of drama when it got the writing nomination. I know the voting bases for those two are slightly different, but still :-\

 

[Valhelm]

Yes, this is award nonsense. There will be snubs; there will be undeserving nominees. Still, it's nice to see good work get rewarded occasionally.

These are being announced right now. Live streams are available on Deadline and EW.

I'll update the OP once the lists are ready. Full list here.

[Infernostew]

No one from Silicon Valley on supporting?

 

[addik]

So it seems that Jane the Virgin was snubbed, or they did not send something for the Emmys?

Great news for Titus though... I'm really happy he got nominated, but I was half-expecting Ellie Kemper to be nominated for Best Actress for UKS. I doubt it's going to win anything against Veep, which should totally win this year.

 

[-griffy-]

Nominated for a total of ZERO Emmys for portraying Ron Swanson:

 

[berzeli]

So after reading through the list I will now present my opinion in a calm and reasonable manner:

TATIANA! YAAAAAAAS! QUEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Spoiler

Also glad to see nods to The Honourable Woman (deserves to win all of them), and lol at Grace Of Monaco for ending up as a Lifetime movie.

 

[Futureman]

The SLAP was NOT nominated? ohhh boy Emmy's are looking more and more irrelevant.

 

[higgsboson1997]

Game of Thrones really should not be a nominee, thats a spot that should have went to Hannibal or Justified. Also best comedy continues to be irrelevant by ignoring Sunny. Its a top 5 of all time comedy and they did some of their best work this season. Shameful.

Game of Thrones is better than all the nominees this year though. None of the other shows were anywhere near as good. At least last year had Breaking Bad and True Detective.

 

[IronRinn]

Wait, hold up.

Key & Peele is nominated for best VARIETY SERIES, but not comedy
But Keegan Key is nominated for best supporting actor in a COMEDY SERIES - for Key & Peele.

This is almost weirder than the idea that Key, whose name comes first in the title of his comedy show, is nominated for supporting actor.

They get weird/granular with the categories, for sure: Outstanding Variety Sketch Series and Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series.

 

[Divvy]

I honestly have no idea how Modern Family keeps getting nominated

Oh the bright side, there's no way Sheldon Cooper is getting another Emmy this time!

 

[neogaffer1]

"Game of Thrones" as drama is garbage after the hack job D&D did with their source material last season. the best parts of the show have always been the ones they took word for word out of the book, they're changing stuff from the book and it's not nearly as good.

all in for Tatiana Maslany for Orphan Black, she's does an insanely good job in that show as 900 different people.

next year there needs to be deutschland 83 for best drama, that show is really really good

edit: also LWT needs to win. even as a liberal i've always found daily show to be very biased and very much an echo chamber; haven't watched enough colbert report to say anything about it, but LWT has actually led to real changes in the world.

 

[Anoregon]

Very cool to see Tatiana Maslany get a nom, but I really don't expect her to win. Between Mad Men, Empire, and Viola Davis, that is a pretty stacked category.

 

[Nibel]

Game Of Thrones had the weakest season since its inception; can't imagine it winning.

 

[Ashhong]

Didn't Brooklyn 99 win best comedy last year? And now it's not even nominated, was last season not very good? I fell behind and never caught up

 

[the_firewithin]

Didn't Brooklyn 99 win best comedy last year? And now it's not even nominated, was last season not very good? I fell behind and never caught up

it was fine but not as great as the first

 

[lamaroo]

Oh come on, that's John Hamm's to lose. It has to happen finally.

Nominated for a total of ZERO Emmys for portraying Ron Swanson:

Absolutely ridiculous. Did Pratt ever got a nom either?
