Feels like a year since last we talked about the highest award on the small screen, the Emmys, well, because it has. But as of this morning, the nominations are in and the overwhelming thing that’s clear this year is that the television academy decided to play things safe, though some predictions proved true. For example, True Detective did indeed take award nominations in the best drama category for the trifecta of acting, writing and directing, most importantly for Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. And Breaking Bad also made out nicely for its final round of Emmy play with nominations for best actor, best supporting actress, best supporting actor and best series (in addition, of course, to best writing and directing).

Sadly, there were many snubs this year as, once again, Tatiana Maslany was overlooked for her spellbinding performances on Orphan Black. In addition, James Spader was left out of the best actor category for The Blacklist and Brooklyn Nine-Nine did not land a nomination for best comedy, though Andre Braugher did snag a best supporting actor nomination for the series. We have to imagine the puppies had something to do with that.

Some of the other happier nominations include another for MythBusters in the best reality category, a nomination in “best documentary series” for Cosmos, ones for The Daily Show and The Colbert Report respectively in best variety, a best TV movie nomination for The Normal Heart, best comedy nominations for HBO’s newest breakout hit, Silicon Valley, Netflix’s most popular original series, Orange is the New Black, and FX’s Louie, as well as a first-time nomination in the best animated series category for FX’s Archer. DANGER ZONE!

Once again, we’re looking at a year where not a single broadcast series has been nominated for drama, not even The Good Wife. Also, for you stats folks, Game of Thrones leads the year with 19 nominations, and HBO with 99. And finally, it looks like there’s nomination in there for @Midnight in the best interactive series category. YAY! Nerd overlord strikes again!
