67th Primetime Emmy Award Nominations
![Tatiana Maslany as Cosima on 'Orphan Black'- Space](http://emertainmentmonthly.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/n-TATIANA-MASLANY-ORPHAN-BLACK-large570.jpg)
Today, July 16, marks the announcement of the nominees eligible at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards!
Many television programs beloved by the Emerson community have received recognition in a landmark year for human understanding: old standbys like âMad Menâ, âOrange is the New Blackâ, and âGame of Thronesâ (which received the most amount of nominations at 24!) are still hot, while the nominations for HBOâs âBessieâ (about legendary soul singer Bessie Smith) and âTransparentâ (starring Jeffrey Tambor as a conflicted cross-dresser) are speaking to current issues people are striving to humanize and repair.
The complete list of Emmy nominations is below.
The 67th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on September 20 at 8 p.m. on FOX. This yearâs host-time–a first-timer—is SNL alum and Brooklyn Nine-Nine favorite Andy Samberg.
