"This morning the nominees for the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards, which will air September 23rd on ABC, were announced. The leaders of the pack are the AMC drama Mad Men and FX&amp;#039;s haunting series American Horror Story, each with 17 nominations overall. While there are veterans included, like Modern Family and 30 Rock, this year opened up to new series such as Showtime&amp;#039;s Homeland and the Fox hit New Girl. For the first time in Emmy history, the Outstanding Drama Series category does not include any of the major networks-NBC, ABC, CBS or Fox. Considering the popularity of PBS&amp;#039;s Downton Abbey and AMC&amp;#039;s Breaking Bad, it&amp;#039;s not surprising that the cable networks reign. However, HBO dominates as the top channel with 81 nods overall. Some are attributed to newbie programs like Girls and Veep, along with the HBO TV-movies, Game Change and Hemingway &amp;amp;amp; Gellhorn, starring Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel will MC this year&amp;#039;s awards and even read the nominees in his pajamas with actress Kerry Washington. Have any favorites on the nominee list?
