The full list of nominees for the 69th annual Emmy Awards is here!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

This coming Sunday evening in Los Angeles, the 69th annual Emmy Awards hosted by late night show host Stephen Colbert will take place. It's an enchanted event to be certain, where the who's who of the not-so-small-anymore screen go to be recognized for their tireless efforts and excellence in the art of television entertainment. In recent times, televised programs have become bigger than ever before, with countless members of Hollywood's elite making the jump to serialized dramas, fantasy epics and more. While you can be sure that shows like HBO's WESTWORLD and NBC's THIS IS US will be given their chance to take home a heavier-than-you'd-think gold statue, it's always interesting to see what other contenders have been added to the list for such a prestigious ceremony.

Here's a list of nominees for this year's Emmy Awards. Bear in mind that some winners have already been announced, as there is only so much time to dedicate to each individual category during the show's already-lenthy runtime.
