The Emmy Nominations are Out! Did Your Faves Make the Cut?
It's TV's biggest night! When the stars of our favorite shows come together to celebrate themselves. While awards shows can be pretty self-congratulatory, let's face it, they're fun to watch. The fashion, the drama, the suspense! In case you didn't know, the Emmy nominations are out, and there are a few surprises. Why didn't any lady from Game of Thrones get a best actress nod (they only got best supporting), and will they just give the awards to Mad Men since the show is over? (I'm thinking yes, hoping no.) And will the sneaker hit Orphan Black's star Tatiana Maslany upset the heavy hitters in the Best Dramatic Actress award!? I hope YES! In any case here are some of the main category nominees. For the full list, click here. Hope your faves made the cut!
