The nominations for the 69th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced Thursday in Los Angeles, with Veep’s Anna Chlumsky and Criminal Minds’ Shemar Moore reading the list of nominees in the Emmys’ most prominent categories. (The live-streamed announcement does not include the full list, which spans almost 100 categories in total.)
The 2017 Emmys are set to be a more interesting round of awards than usual, and not just because Stephen Colbert will be hosting the ceremony come September 17. Be sure to keep an eye on the drama categories in particular; this year offers a rare opportunity for a real shake-up.
New shows like This Is Us, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Crown, Westworld, and Stranger Things grabbed plenty of nominations — with Westworld tying Saturday Night Live for the most nominations across the board, at 22, and Stranger Things netting 18. Meanwhile, some of the shows that’ve been reliable go-tos in the past few years weren’t even up for consideration this year: Downton Abbey ended its run before last year’s awards, and Game of Thrones didn’t air a new season during the eligibility period for this year’s awards (neither, for that matter, did the new Twin Peaks).
In the limited series categories, FX’s Feud: Bette and Joan reigned supreme with 18 nominations, followed by HBO’s Big Little Lies (16 nominations), Fargo (16 nominations), and The Night Of (13 nominations).
In the comedy series categories, perennial favorites like Veep and Modern Family stayed strong, though there was still room for Donald Glover’s Atlanta to sneak in for consideration.
And Saturday Night Live cleaned up with its aforementioned 22 nominations, which include nods for Variety Sketch Series and multiple acting categories.
The 2017 Emmy Awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, September 17, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. It will be broadcast live on CBS and hosted by Colbert. The Creative Arts Emmys — which reward programs’ technical aspects — will be handed out in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 9, and Sunday, September 10, and broadcast September 16 on FXX.
Here are the 2017 Emmy nominees in all of the awards’ major categories. For the complete list, visit the Emmys’ website.
