You can see the complete list of this year’s nominations here.
Not many surprises this year, but a few I was especially pleased about:
- Joseph Fiennes and Yvonne Strahovski for their supporting roles as The Waterfords in The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu) – These two are amazing!
- Jason Bateman for his role as Marty Byrd in Ozark (Netflix), and also nominated for Outstanding Director in the series, as well. Ozark is one of my very favorite shows, incredibly intense—if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure you check it out.
- Also pleased to see David Lynch nominated for his directing in Twin Peaks: The Return.
