July 18, 2013

The 2013 Emmy nominations were announced early this morning, with Game of Thrones (16 noms), American Horror Story: Asylum (17 noms) and HBO's Behind the Candelabra (15 noms) leading the pack.

Netflix's "House of Cards" made Emmy history Thursday with a top drama series nomination, the first time that television's leading awards have recognized a program delivered online as equal in quality to the best that TV has to offer.

HBO easily dwarfed the networks, nabbing a whopping 108 nominations. Its closest rivals were CBS and NBC each with 53, ABC with 45 and Showtime with 31 while newcomer Netflix got its first taste of Emmy love with 14.

marc123

imo House of Cards should get best Best Drama series.

Bobby Cannavale should get Best Supporting Actor, Drama.

wow @ Jonathan Banks. Mike from Breaking Bad getting a nomination. I didn't see that comin

Homeland toke a huge dive from season 1 to season 2. still good tv, but no where near as good as season 1

and WTF @ no Dexter nominations

S.jR.

Mads Mikkelsen should've been nominated for Hannibal and Hugh Dancy.. but it's tough to ? that group.

I don't watch any awards shows. I honestly can't remember the last time I did. However I do care about my favorite shows getting nods because it gives them mainstream media exposure and brings more eyes in their direction and increases awareness. Which helps extend the longevity of the shows since new viewers are gained.

S.jR.

I don't watch it.. but Ill pay attention to who gets nominated and who wins.

Lol at anybody but Peter Dinklage taking home that Supporting Actor in a Drama statue.

atribecalledgabi

The Emmys are a joke, I still don't understand how they never even nominated The Wire.

For that reason alone I don't care who is nominated or who wins.

I'll never let a statue tell me how nice I am. -Phiphe Dawg-

hold up how is ? from game change still eligible to be nominated?

Mister B.

reality shows have been getting emmys for a while. it's the competition shows where people actually have a skill like project runway & top chef that are nominated & usually win out. i think survivor has won a couple.

but yea there should be some type of cap on nominees/wins for shows. the comedy category is notorious for that usual suspects ? . always modern family & 30 rock winning ? every year.

atribecalledgabi

i started watching that bates motel ? ...vera farmiga got it in as norman bates' mom. i don't think anybody will beat claire danes for best actress but vera farmiga earned that nomination.

John Stewart had a 10 year win streak. Still ? up how Real Time with Bill Mahr gets no recognition, it's better than both shows.
