Full list of winners and nominees

 

[TheBioLover]

Let's go Mr. Robot and Rami!

 

[Admiral Woofington]

This might be the only season of Game of Thrones I wouldn't be bothered if it won outstanding drama.

My husbando

Spoiler

Jon Snow

deserves it all.

 

[Psykoboy2]

Any way to watch online or Roku/Xbox/PS4?

 

[giga]

Emilia Clarke? Must have been a limited selection.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Are all those HBO shows going to lose because they are splitting the vote 2 or even 3 ways with themselves?

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

This might be the only season of Game of Thrones I wouldn't be bothered if it won outstanding drama.

My husbando

Spoiler

Jon Snow

deserves it all.

Screw that. Better Call Saul or bust.

 

[The Argus]

If Bob Odenkirk doesn't take home the Emmy I will probably eat an entire tub of Half Baked...

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Are all those HBO shows going to lose because they are splitting the vote 2 or even 3 ways with themselves?

We can only hope!

 

[B-Dex]

Rupaul winning the reality competition host Emmy and the show not being up for best reality/competition show is hypocrisy of the highest order.

 

[shwimpy]

does the actual show start at the top of the hour or red carpet bullshit?

 

[SmackAttack]

Would love to see Andre Braugher and Kimmy Schmidt win. Lots of stuff I don't watch though so I can't say much.

 

[giga]

does the actual show start at the top of the hour or red carpet bullshit?

Red carpet bullshit. Actual show: 8PM eastern.

 

[shwimpy]

Red carpet bullshit. Actual show: 8PM eastern.

thank you sir. 👍

 

[Empty]

outstanding dramas not very outstanding this year. three of them are genuinely quite bad.

 

[Ashhong]

CMOOOOOON Rami!

Wait, no nomination for Esmail best director on any episode? An nothing for Slater? Cmon...

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Courtney B. Vance is a lock, right?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

FX deserves to clean up. The Americans, The People vs OJ Simpson, and Fargo were all stellar. Hoping The Americans gets some love, along with Courtney B Vance, Sarah Paulson, and Fargo for some writing nods.

 

[Guzim]

Let's go Mr. Robot!!!

 

[Layell]

I've never been a Kimmel fan, he's always seemed to be the safe late night guy. What are the chances of him dropping the ball here?

 

[DashReindeer]

Damn, I don't watch Getting On, but Niecy Nash should win in the same category for Scream Queens, so I hope she wins this one anyway.

Supporting Actor in a Comedy is super crowded with great talent this year Louie Anderson, Andre Braugher, or Tituss Burgess are all awesome picks.

On the drama side, I am hoping for at least a few awards for Mr. Robot and no big wins for GoT.

 

[MadLaughter]

Still an hour to go, right?

 

[tearsintherain]

Its crazy how much more I like the Emmy nominations than Oscars. I've watched a total of 1 of the major 2016 Oscar winners - only Inside Out; didn't watch Spotlight, Revenant, Room, Danish Girl, or Bridge of Spies. Probably watched less than 10% of the nominees for the big categories.

By contrast I have watched like 70% of the big nominees for emmy's and enjoyed almost all of them. I guess I am just a TV pleb.

Limited series seems like the category with the strongest contenders, those were all amazing seasons of limited series TV.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

outstanding dramas not very outstanding this year. three of them are genuinely quite bad.

The last time the majority of nominees in the drama category were actually outstanding was 4 years ago.

Damn, I don't watch Getting On, but Niecy Nash should win in the same category for Scream Queens, so I hope she wins this one anyway.

She's really quite good in Getting On. I wouldn't be mad at all if she won.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

[WillyFive]

Come on Jack Bender! You were robbed for The End, you need to get it for The Door.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I bet Steven Soderbergh's transcendent work on The Knick will once again be snubbed in favor of the "that's fine" direction of Game of Thrones.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Haven't watched one of these in forever, scratching my head why ABC live streaming isn't supported in my area still. Network TV streaming infrastructure is woefully underdeveloped still.

 

[bort]

Did the rules change again?

If they didn't then HBO wins everything because they have the most voters after the rule change

 

[chefbags]

Hoping for all those Mr. Robot wins.

And especially for Rami Malek. Dude deserves it. He carried the whole first season IMO. Season 2 became a more ensemble cast which I think is still just as good.

 

[Androidsleeps]

Is there a link for a stream other than abc website?

 

[soundscream]

I bet Steven Soderbergh's transcendent work on The Knick will once again be snubbed in favor of the "that's fine" direction of Game of Thrones.

The "battle of the bastards" is anything but that's fine direction.

[Blader]

I'm surprised HBO submitted The Door and not The Winds of Winter for Game of Thrones. The finale might have been the show's best episode yet.

 

[ezekial45]

I bet Steven Soderbergh's transcendent work on The Knick will once again be snubbed in favor of the "that's fine" direction of Game of Thrones.

For real. That episode was my favorite of the year. It was fantastic, haunting, and just...memorable. I still think about even today.

I really liked that GOT ep, but it felt more spectacle than anything else.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Here to see Game of Thrones snatch everything whether I like it or not.

In a just world, The Knick would at least win for best direction.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Sweep 'em, Thrones.

 

[karasu]

More shady awards that rich people buy for themselves to keep people trapped in the dream forever.

 

[CoolOff]

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Excited for Soderbergh to lose again and no Aya Cash nom.

That said, yay The Americans!

 

[Fat4all]

i smell a win or two for Veep

 

[lazybones18]

Another year for the Emmys to show what a complete joke they are

 

[CoolOff]

Actually, I'm not praying, I'm just here to eat.

 

[Escape Goat]

Tatiana Maslany got nominated? Good for her.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Either way, you're doing the Lord's work. Pastor Tim would be proud.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

More shady awards that rich people buy for themselves to keep people trapped in the dream forever.

Are you trolling or just in the wrong thread?

OT: Mr. Robot please. And Ben Mendelsohn needs an award this year for the snub last year.

 

[lazybones18]

I've never been a Kimmel fan, he's always seemed to be the safe late night guy.

don't you mean Fallon and not Kimmel?

 

[Sober]

Is it just more or have The Americans not really ever been up for nominations until now?

(Or do they just keep losing to GoT?)

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Is it just more or have The Americans not really ever been up for nominations until now?

(Or do they just keep losing to GoT?)

This is the first year.

 

[CoolOff]

Is it just more or have The Americans not really ever been up for nominations until now?

(Or do they just keep losing to GoT?)

The only previous nominations were Margo Martindale 3 times, and one for writing last year. Travesty.
