2015 Emmy Nominations
The 2015 Emmys nominees are here and, as usual, there’s quite a bit of weirdness and snubbing. Game of Thrones leads the nominees with 24 nominations, including Best Drama, acting nods for Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Emilia Clarke and more. Mad Men could potentially sweep the big drama categories though if the voters want to award it’s final season. The comedy categories also finally escaped the death grip of Big Bang Theory and shows like Last Man on Earth, Silicon Valley and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt got nominations. Check out the full list of nominees below and the awards will be given out on September 20th on Fox.
