2014 Emmy Nominations Announced
By Angie Han/July 10, 2014 6:00 am EST
2013-2014 has been such a strong year in television, you could easily double the number of Emmy nominees in some categories and still wind up snubbing some worthy contenders. But tough choices must be made, and this morning Mindy Kaling and Carson Daly got up early to reveal which Emmy hopefuls made the cut. Get the 2014 Emmy nominations after the jump.
Many of the usual suspects got the nod, of course. There was no way Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul weren’t going to walk away from the final season of Breaking Bad without nominations, for example, though it was disappointing to see Dean Norris get overlooked. Recurring favorites Homeland, Modern Family, and Downton Abbey were all well represented too. On the flip side, some of the expected snubs came to pass as well. Tatiana Maslany remains totally ignored despite great Orphan Black buzz, and Hannibal got no love for its excellent second season. I was also disappointed, if not especially surprised, to see the late Christopher Evan Welch go without a nomination for his hilarious work on Silicon Valley.
Of the new shows, True Detective fared almost as well as expected (no recognition for Michelle Monaghan) and Orange Is the New Black had a strong showing with five acting nominations and a spot in the Best Comedy Series category. And anyone associated with HBO’s The Normal Heart probably got a little something. Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series: Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad Jeff Daniels, The Newsroom Jon Hamm, Mad Men Woody Harrelson, True Detective Matthew McConaughey, True Detective Kevin Spacey, House of Cards Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series: Lizzy Caplan, Masters of Sex Claire Danes, Homeland Michelle Dockery, Downton Abbey Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife Kerry Washington, Scandal Robin Wright, House of Cards Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie: Benedict Cumberbatch, Sherlock: His Last Vow Chiwetel Ejiofor, Dancing on the Edge Idris Elba, Luther Martin Freeman, Fargo Mark Ruffalo, The Normal Heart Billy Bob Thornton, Fargo Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie: Helena Bonham Carter, Burton and Taylor Minnie Driver, Return to Zero Jessica Lange, American Horror Story: Coven Sarah Paulson, American Horror Story: Coven
