72nd Primetime Emmy Award nominations (2020)

Emmy statue

Welcome to the thread for the 72nd Primetime Emmy nominations! This morning, the television announced the nominees in more than 100 categories covering everything from acting, writing, and directing to costumes, sound editing, and music. I'm positive you have opinions.

In comedy series, Fleabag and Barry are not in the competition, leaving some categories up for grabs, unless The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel can swoop in. In drama series, Game of Thrones is out, finally letting some categories have some fresh air.

What's listed below are just a portion of all the nominees, broken down by type of show for easier reading. The full list can be found here.

And now, what you really want... the nominees!
