The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced Thursday morning and it looks to be the year of the freshman in one of the biggest categories.
Five new shows, including "This Is Us," "Westworld," "The Handmaid's Tale," "The Crown" and "Stranger Things," will compete with returning nominees "Better Call Saul" and "House of Cards" for best drama.
"Stranger Things," which has been a breakout hit for Netflix, scored 19 nominations.
he comedy sketch series "Saturday Night Live" and the HBO drama "Westworld" both earned the most Emmy nominations for individual shows with 22. "SNL" is now the most Emmy nominated series of all time with a total of 231 over the history of the show.
"Atlanta," "Black-ish," "Master of None," "Modern Family," "Silicon Valley," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," and "Veep" are vying for best comedy.
Two shows with very different political themes scored multiple nominations for Emmy Awards. HBO's satirical comedy "Veep" earned 17 nominations, and the newcomer Hulu dystopian drama "The Handmaid's Tale" earned 13.
"Veep" star Anna Chlumsky announced the nominations, along with actor Shemar Moore. The actress got a bit of a surprise when she learned that she had earned her fifth consecutive nomination for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy.
CNN received seven nominations, including a nod for W. Kamau Bell as host of "United Shades Of America With W. Kamau Bell." CNN's travel series "Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown" was nominated for outstanding informational series or special.
