By Angie Han/July 18, 2013 9:30 am EST
While most of us on the West Coast were still sleeping, Aaron Paul and Neil Patrick Harris got up at the crack of dawn this morning to announce the nominees for the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. American Horror Story: Asylum and Game of Thrones led the nominations with 17 and 16 each, respectively. Most of the usual suspects, including Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad received recognition as well. Welcome newcomers included Kerry Washington for Scandal, Vera Farmiga for Bates Motel, and Adam Driver for Girls. But sorry, Orphan Black fans — no love for Tatiana Maslany this year. Hit the jump to read the nominations.
