Here Are Your 2017 Emmys Comedy Nominees
Today, the nominations for the 2017 Primetime Emmys were announced. For comedy specifically, it’s probably what you expected.
Premium cable and streaming services continue to dominate the Emmys with Netflix and HBO coming out strong. FX also maintains its status as a premium cable network disguised as a basic cable network with its handful of nominations for Atlanta, Better Things, and Baskets.
Colbert’s Election special and Sam Bee’s Not the WHCD thankfully were bestowed nominations here as well.
One thing that was a delightful surprise is Lauren Lapkus and Ben Schwartz gaining nominations for their performances in The Earliest Show, a web series that followed a morning talk show with one of the hosts going through all the stages of grief.
Take a gander at all the comedy nominees below.
