Need to make your last-minute Emmys picks, or not sure who’s nominated for what and when we might see that award? Here are all of tonight’s nominees.
Ah, the Emmys. At this point, it seems practically impossible to keep up with all of the nominees in television this year or any year, really, but if you’re looking to find the presumed best of the best of the year that’s been in television, the following list of nominees, which spans variety, comedy, drama, TV movies and limited series, is probably a really good place to start.
But unfortunately, some of the Emmys have already been handed out this year, which pares tonight’s event down to just the following, so it’s even harder to sift through what’s already won and what’s still hoping to win at least one statue tonight (because there are a lot of multiple nominees out there).
As a result, we here at Culturess have put together this list of what’s still nominated, and it’s long and as complete as we can tell.
Based on our best guess of how the show will run and the official Emmys website’s list of its nominees, here are the nominations for the 69th Primetime Emmys.

Yes, you’ll likely have to wait until the very end of the show to find out what the Television Academy has decided is the best drama series of the year, but that’s normal and how it went last year. There has to be some form of suspense, right?
