Emmy Nominations - 64th Primetime Awards

Kerry Washington (Scandal) and Jimmy Kimmel – in his PJ’s, announced the nominees for the 64th annual primetime Emmys. In a surprise Sandra Oh was snubbed for a best supporting actress nod after a huge year, Scandal failed to recieve one nomination as did Thw Walking Dead. Here are the nominations in a very odd year. Seven and Ten did the best out of the free to air networks as usual and Foxtel’s showcase swept the board again. Our own Nicole Kidman and Judy Davis have been nominated for actress gongs. The Emmy’s will air here September 24th on Foxtel.
