Here's The Full List Of 2019 Emmy Nominations, Including All The Snubs & Surprises
It's only July, but the start of awards season isn't that far off, and the first wave of nomination news is comin' at ya. This time, it's for the Emmys, and the list is stacked thanks to all the great TV shows and miniseries that aired this year. The 2019 Emmy nominations full list was announced on Tuesday, July 16, by D'Arcy Carden and Ken Jeong along with Television Academy Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma. The actual ceremony won't air until Sept. 22 on Fox, but for now, fans can start filling out their dream ballots.
Television this past year has been particularly phenomenal, with headline-grabbing seasons of Game of Thrones and This Is Us. but, don't expect all your favorites to be represented. As reported by IndieWire, some big names and winners from this years past are actually out of the window of eligibility for the awards. Only television released between June 1, 2018, and May 31, 2019, is eligible for the 2019 Emmys, so that excludes most of the prestige summer shows, like Big Little Lies, Stranger Things, and The Handmaid's Tale. Of course, that still left some big contenders like Game of Thrones, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and This Is Us.
There are also some shows that were submitted to different categories this year. American Horror Story, for example, has always competed as a Limited Series, but was rightfully be placed in Drama (since it's not really "limited" anymore). The Sinner and American Vandal was also be moved from the Limited Series category (to drama and comedy, respectively), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Now that the 2019 Emmy nominations have always been announced, the time for arguing over what show should be in what category is over. It's time to pick the winners. Here is a full list of the nominees.
