There’s always anticipation when it comes to the Emmy nominations. With hundreds of scripted television series currently on air and only so many categories and nominations that go out, it’s hard to narrow it down. But, of course, narrow the list down they did!
Orange is the New Black and The Handmaid’s Tale actress Samira Wiley and The Blacklist actor Ryan Eggold (both of whom will be co-starring in this fall’s ABC drama, New Amsterdam) were on hand to announce the 2018 Emmy nominations.
With dramas such as Killing Eve and The Americans to comedies such as Atlanta and Barry, there’s a lot of competition. Streaming giants Amazon and Netflix have become regular contenders, while network series are still going strong as well. Game of Thrones is still making a showing for HBO with a nomination in the outstanding drama category, while This is Us continues being a big name for NBC with several nominations.
Unexpectedly, Killing Eve wasn’t nominated for outstanding drama, even while Sandra Oh was nominated for her leading role in the series. Kerri Russell did get a nomination for lead actress for The Americans, a show many hope will win this year after being overshadowed for years.
Check out the full list below to see who was nominated, who was overlooked, and who got the most nods.
The 2018 Emmy Awards will air live on September 17 at 8/7c on NBC.
