2016 Emmy Nominations: Full List Of Nominations (And Snubs)
The 2016 Emmy nominations are in. They were announced by Lauren Graham and Anthony Anderson who couldn't contain himself as he announced his own nomination on "Black-ish" along with his co-star Tracee Ellis Ross and one for the overall series.
FX, a network that has been snubbed in past years, made a good showing with "The Americans" finally receiving its due along with "The People v. O.J. Simpson American Crime Story" and "Fargo."
It's a low bar to clear, but unlike with Oscars you won't see the hashtag #EmmysSoWhite trending. "Black-ish" got its three nominations, Aziz Ansari and "Master Of None" got noms, and Taraji P. Henson, Tituss Burgess, Kerry Washington, Viola Davis and Idris Elba all earned a nod from the Emmys.
But we all know you really came here for the snubs:

#EmmyNominations coming up in minutes. Remember: it's an honor just to have someone complain on Twitter that you weren't nominated.

Some of the biggest snubs were "Orange Is the New Black" (which had zero nominations), Julianna Margulies in her last season of "The Good Wife" and generally The CW network, whose critically acclaimed "Jane The Virgin" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" got no love. Constance Zimmer got a nom in the supporting actress category but we at LAist HQ would love to see Lifetime's "UnREAL" get some more love. "Full Frontal," the only late-night talk show helmed by a woman, is crushing it but got snubbed. Voters weren't enamored with "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" either. "The Daily Show" spinoff "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" did get a well-deserved nomination.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
