This morning, the nominations for the 67th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were presented by Cat Deely and Uzo Aduba (of OITNB fame). We can talk up a storm about how long winded and self-congratulatory award shows are (and possibly pointless), but let’s cut the bullshit: this is a pop culture site and we like to talk about TV shows. I present to you all of the nominees, dumped here for your convenience.

It is pretty harsh that everybody from Kimmy Schmidt got nominated except Ellie Kemper.
Hey, yeeeah, WTF!
On the other hand, if Tituss Burgess wins, I hope he announces that “he will crush that Spiderman…and that other Spiderman…and all the Spidermen!’
But seriously amazing how many noms they did get. It’s like the little comedy that could!
For the 250th year in a row, all my Emmy excitement is focused on The Amazing Race. This season wasn’t even that good!
Did anyone watch Houdini? I started watching it on Netflix one day when I was doing laundry, and I thought it was oddly both boring and overly-produced. But I’m willing to be wrong. Does anyone have an opinion? Because I didn’t finish it and would like to if it is actually good.
They were filming Amazing Race in Halifax a couple months ago! I had to dodge a gaggle of frantic people with backpacks while out for a coffee.
YOURE LIVING MY DREEEAAAM
Don’t get too excited, I think it was AR Canada, not the regular one. I can’t imagine sending people to a moderately sized city with great public transport and a very easily accessible airport like “this will be great TV!!!” Just hop on the shuttle, you guys, it’s 2.50$ and you’ll be there in no time. 15 minute long episode.
Lady, these contestants would get lost in a bathtub. Don’t overestimate their capabilities.
Do dramas HAVE TO BE 60-ish minutes long to be considered on for these awards? I would hardly call Transparent a comedy.
Yeah, the Emmys passed a rule this year that 60-minute shows have to enter as dramas, which I’m assuming means 30-minute shows have to enter as comedies.
The Emmys are so weird.
People’s reactions are bonkers. I actually saw a headline that said “Empire gets snubbed!” Uh, Taraji P. Henson got nominated and it’s basically a soap opera, so why would it get nominated with the likes of Mad Men and Game of Thrones? Also a headline from TV Guide: “Game of Thrones, Tatiana Maslany lead Emmy Nominations”….um, GOT got a lot, but Tatiana Maslany (while I’m excited for her well-deserved nomination) only got one, so she’s not exactly leading the pack there. People are weird is what I’m saying. PR is weird.

Did you see the Instagram video of Abbi trapped in an elevator yesterday? I watched it literally 10 times in a row. What a gift to us those ladies are!!
I’m more on board with this

Tatiana finally!
I’m excited for her, but I want Elisabeth Moss to win. Peggy all the way.
Yes.
If Mad Men doesn’t win best drama I am never watching the Emmys again. And if Modern Family wins again, I will also never watch the Emmys again. What I’m trying to say is that this will be my last time watching the Emmys.
And if Amy Schumer wins I will watch the Emmys faithfully for the rest of my life.
This list of nominations is frankly quite good, Broad City snub aside. Which is really quite weird.
I wish Rectify would have been nominated, but I am very glad to see Tatiana Maslany on this list!
