Stranger Things, Westworld & SNL make list of 2017 Emmy nominees

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The Golden Globes and Oscars are still some months away but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your gold rush on in the meantime, and the Emmys will fulfill that lust. The 2017 nominees have just been announced, and all the best and brightest of this season’s crop of television are represented…well, most of them are. New fan favorite shows like STRANGER THINGS and WESTWORLD got several nominations apiece, while mainstays like HOUSE OF CARDS and BETTER CALL SAUL racked up their usual nominations, including Best Drama Series and acting noms for Bob Odenkirk, Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright. On the snub side, the biggest absence is Winona Ryder for her brilliant work on THINGS, and it’s an absence that will surely be noted on the message boards and Twitter feeds. GAME OF THRONES would normally have a presence here as well, but the sixth season started late this year, outside of the qualifying period. Overall, WESTWORD and SNL lead the pack with 22 noms each (including the unlisted tech categories), with the latter scoring three nominations in the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category.
