The golden age of TV has been churning out quality content day after day making it hard for the Television Academy to shortlist the best of the lot for Emmys. Still undertaking the herculean task, the nominees for the 2017 Emmy Awards have been announced on Thursday.
Television Academy Chairman and CEO Hayma Washington along with Anna Chlumsky from the HBO series Veep and Shemar Moore from CBS’ S.W.A.T took to the stage for the live stream of the announcement.
This year’s seven Drama Series nominees include five first-timers, The Crown, The Handmaid’s Tale, Stranger Things, This Is Us and Westworld.
Saturday Night Live and Westworld led the tally for the most nominations (22) in all categories, followed by Stranger Things and FEUD: Bette and Joan (18) and Veep (17). Leading the nominations in totals by platform were HBO (110), Netflix (91) and followed by NBC (60).
Since Game of Thrones is out of the contention, the race for Best Drama Series is wide open with Stranger Things, The Crown and other making a mark. A tough race can be seen in the comedy section with Veep becoming a mainstay and new entries like Atlanta announcing their arrival.
