It may seem like award show season only just ended, but we're back — or, if you look at it, does award show season ever end? Not really! Regardless, the nominations for the 68th annual Primetime Emmy Awards are finally here. The show will air on September 18th with Jimmy Kimmel as a returning host. But you can't have an award show without nominees, which Anthony Anderson and Lauren Graham announced this morning in Los Angeles, California. Your faves all received major nods. Anthony was understandably the most excited ever when his name was announced as a nominee for his work on Black-ish, and was equally as happy for his costar, Tracee Ellis Ross, as well as their show's nomination for Comedy Series. See the full list of nominees below, and start getting your votes ready for who will take home the statuette.
