Here are the nominees for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Within the past few years, there's been a great resurgence in television. Shows like BREAKING BAD, GAME OF THRONES, HOMELAND, MAD MEN, LOUIE, and many more has given the box office some competition. The list of nominees for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards have recognized all the above shows and added a couple of surprises.

I'm happy to see all the nominations for BREAKING BAD and GAME OF THRONES. Jonathan Banks gets a nom for his role in BREAKING BAD as Mike, and Anna Gunn gets a well deserved nom for her performance as Skyler. Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage have been recognized for their badassness on GAME OF THRONES. I'm also happy to see the love for HOUSE OF CARDS, and the animated programs REGULAR SHOW and BOB'S BURGERS.

THE WALKING DEAD is noticably abscent this year but do you think they deserved any noms? I just want to point out that THE AMERICANS are missing from the list as well. Check out the list below and to see the rest head here.
