– Millie Bobby Brown, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, “Stranger Things”

“It’s a privilege to help bring the Duffers’ unique vision to life and it’s an even more gratifying experience to see our show connect with viewers in the broad and deep way it has. Above all we wanted season 2 to be even better than the first and we’re so grateful for Netflix’s support in aspiring to that. This nomination and the respect of our creative peers that it represents, means the world to us.”
– Shawn Levy, Outstanding Drama Series, “Stranger Things”

“We are grateful to the Television Academy for their amazing recognition for STRANGER THINGS. This year’s nominations celebrate incredible shows and we feel honored to be alongside them. We’re so pleased for all of our cast and crew. Millie is a force of nature and a supernatural talent, and we are thrilled that she has been recognized. And David is a genius who has beautifully honed his craft – it’s a true privilege to work with him. Stranger Things is, above all, a massive collaborative effort, so it makes us particularly happy to see so many of our Stranger family recognized by their peers. As we work to finish our new season, nothing could give us a bigger boost.”
– The Duffer Brothers, Outstanding Drama Series, “Stranger Things”

“I’m thrilled that The Fourth Estate was nominated for Outstanding NonFiction Series. The journalists at The New York Times were brave enough to open up to us, knowing they would be under enormous public scrutiny and derision from the bully pulpit. This nomination celebrates that decision and their commitment to transparency. And that’s what the nonfiction form depends on, most deeply in this era where truth and facts themselves are under attack. I’m so happy for my team, and for Showtime, whose commitment to this project was passionate from day one.”
– Liz Garbus, Outstanding NonFiction Series, “The Fourth Estate”

“Greetings from a shock and denial paralysis on my living room floor. Thank you to the Television Academy for making me throw my phone across the room as if it was made of lava needles. I am so overwhelmed and grateful to be a part of a show where women are allowed to be their weirdest, loudest, bravest selves. I’ll probably self-sabotage in a bold and creative way before the ceremony, so I hope everyone has a lovely autumn. Thank you, thank you, thank you. What. Is. Happening.”
– Betty Gilpin, Outstanding Supporting Actress, “GLOW”

“I couldn’t have asked for a more talented, dedicated and tasteful group of people to work alongside on OZARK. Every person, in every department, has a hand in earning these Emmy nominations and we are so grateful that the Academy, and the public, has found and embraced our show. A big thank you from all of us.”
– Jason Bateman, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, “Ozark”

“It feels amazing to be recognized for “Seven Seconds.” It tells an important story which shines a light on truly relevant societal issues. The subject matter could not be timelier. I am incredibly proud of the work that our cast and crew put in.”
– Regina King, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie, “Seven Seconds”

“I’m thrilled and grateful to be nominated for an Emmy today! As if Will & Grace coming back in the first place wasn’t enough, to have the chance to play Karen Walker again feels like a miracle to me. Will & Grace allowed me to move out of my apartment in West Hollywood and buy clothes from stores that weren’t Jet Rag. It’s given me confidence and changed my life. Thanks and kisses to all the Emmy voters. xox ?”
– Megan Mullally, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, “Will & Grace”
