Nominations for the 69th Annual Emmy Awards were announced Thursday morning at the Television Academy’s Wolf Theatre in North Hollywood, with actors Anna Chlumsky (Veep) and Shemar Moore (S.W.A.T.) listing off this year’s contenders.
While HBO’s VFX-fueled drama Westworld tied with NBC comedy mainstay Saturday Night Live for the most nominations overall — each receiving 22 — the animation categories show three broadcasters neck-and-neck with three nods each: the FOX, Disney and Cartoon Network channel families. Comedy Central is a standout with a nomination for South Park. And another Disney toon, Star Wars Rebels, is the lone animated nominee in the Children’s Program category.
The Emmy Awards ceremony will take place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on September 17 at 5 p.m., hosted by Stephen Colbert. The show will broadcast live on CBS.
Read on for the nominees and their prior Emmy win tallies in the top toon categories.
