The 2013 Emmy nominations are in, and some new names appear alongside industry vets — but it’s who’s missing that’s surprising.
Downton Abbey, The Newsroom, Mad Men… All names we’ve come to expect on the Emmy nominations list. But those perennial faves are being challenged by newcomers this year, like Scandal and Bates Motel, as seen on the complete list of 2013 Emmy nominations that was announced by Neil Patrick Harris (who will host the awards this year) and Aaron Paul this morning.
What is most surprising isn’t necessarily who is nominated, but who was not. Orphan Black‘s Tatiana Maslany, New Girl‘s Zooey Deschanel, Parenthood‘s Monica Potter, Glee‘s Lea Michele and The Big Bang Theory‘s Kaley Cuoco were all snubbed despite giving killer performances this year.
