Nominations Revealed for 69th Emmys

Nominations for the 69th Annual Emmy Awards were announced by the Television Academy in a ceremony hosted by 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."


"It’s been a record-breaking year for television, continuing its explosive growth,” said Washington. The Emmy Awards competition experienced a 15 percent increase in submissions for this year’s initial nomination round of online voting. The creativity and excellence in presenting great storytelling and characters across a multitude of ever-expanding entertainment platforms is staggering.

“This sweeping array of television shows ranges from familiar favorites like 'blackish' and 'House of Card's to nominations newcomers like 'Westworld,' 'This Is Us' and 'Atlanta.' The power of television and its talented performers – in front of and behind the camera – enthrall a worldwide audience. We are thrilled to once again honor the very best that television has to offer,” Washington continued.

HBO’s “Westworld” and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” tied for the most nominations for the 2017 Emmy Awards, earning the most with 22 each.

This year saw a bigger Emmy ballot. Drama series had the largest number of submissions with 180, with best actor in a drama close behind at 140, and best actress in a drama up next at 113.

The final-round of online voting begins August 14.

The complete list of Emmy nominations, media credential applications, and other Academy news are all available at Emmys.com.

The 69th Emmy Awards will telecast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Sunday, September 17 (8:00-11:00 PM ET/5:00-8:00 PM PT) on CBS. The Creative Arts Emmy Awards will air Saturday, September 16 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on FXX.
