The 2015 Emmy nominations bring huge comedy contenders

The 67th Emmy award nominations just ended and several shows -- ahem Empire -- were snubbed. However, this seemed to be a good year for comedy. Newcomers Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Transparent join veterans Louie and Veep. Letterman's Late Night was nominated alongside Colbert's Colbert Report.

Louis C.K., Julia Louis Dryfus, & Stephen Colbert Are The Real Winners At The Emmys

The Emmys were last night just in case you didn't watch. But that's why I'm here: to help you gather all of the winners in one place and celebrate their victories. Of course, shows like Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory won big. Then there's the surprises like Allison Janney who won (TWICE) for her role on Mom and her guest spot on Masters of Sex. All of the SNL alum/current cast that were nominated lost including Kate McKinnon, Fred Armisen, Kristen Wiig and Amy Poehler. Also, for some odd reason, Orange Is The New Black was submitted in the comedy section. This was both a smart and stupid move because they had no chance against True Detective or Breaking Bad but Modern Family and Veep are pure comedies. Oh Netflix.

Netflix, HBO & Others Duke It Out In The 2014 Emmy Nominations

This morning, nominations for the 2014 Emmys were announced by Mindy Kaling and Carson Daly who seems to still be around. This years contenders have stiff competition due to a fascinating year in television. Everything from True Detective to The Spoils of Babylon and even CBS' Mom fight for recognition.

HBO lead the pack with 99 noms with Game of Thrones having 19. The HBO AIDS movie The Normal Heart starring Mark Ruffalo has 16 including best TV movie.

Netflix received many nods as well with 31 which include House of Cards garnering 13 and Orange Is The New Black getting 12. 

AMC's Breaking Bad gathered an amazing 16 nominations following its end last year including a best actor nod for leading man Bryan Cranston. 

FX's Fargo has an impressive 18 nods and American Horror Story: Coven has 17. 

Best TV comedy series include The Big Bang Theory , Louie, Modern Family, Orange Is The New Black, Silicon Valley, and Veep.

Nominees for best actress in a drama series are Lizzy Caplan being all sexy in Masters of Sex; Claire Danes crying or something in Homeland; Michelle Dockery being all British in Downton Abbey; Julianne Margulies being bad in The Good Wife; Kerry Washington in the blackudrama Scandal; and Robin Wright [SPOILER] in House of Cards.

Best actor nominations can go anywhere this year. Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey have to battle it out because they did so well on True Detective. They'll face Cranston, Spacey, Jeff Daniels from The Newsroom and Jon Hamm for Mad Men.

The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards will be hosted by Seth Meyers and will air August 25 on NBC. Oddly enough, this years show will be on a Monday because of Sunday Night Football and the MTV Video Music Awards which I'm sure will get waaaayyyy higher ratings. 

Read all of the nominations right here.
