This morning at the SilverScreen Theater at the Pacific Design Center, Uzo Aduba (“Crazy Eyes” from Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, and Cat Deeley, host of FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance, presented the nominations in the top categories for the 67th Emmy Awards. (Deeley replaced previously announced co-presenter John Stamos, who had a scheduling conflict.) Both women, however, got a prize for getting up early to announce the noms. Each received a nomination: Aduba for OITNB and Deely for Outstanding Host for Reality Series.
Cable and streaming did well with the noms: Game of Thrones received a whopping 24 nominations, American Horror: Freak Show got 19 and Olive Kitteridge 13 nominations. Save for Taraji P. Henson's nomination for Best Actress, Empire was snubbed.
We talked about our personal favorites in our Emmy Nomination Wish List, and only a couple (Tatiana Maslany(!) and Ben Mendelsohn) made the cut.
Here are the 11 Emmy categories announced this morning:

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.
