Emmys 2016: Tracy Morgan, Maisie Williams, Constance Zimmer, more react

Emmys -

If you missed it, the Emmy nominations were announced earlier today, and there were some rather welcome surprises and also a few snubs. Isn’t it something similar to this every year? Probably so, but this year in particular feels like one where there were at least a few interesting swings. Also, there was a ton of “Game of Thrones.”

Below, you can see some reactions from many different people who were nominated. We also got a full statement from Courtney B. Vance (“The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story”), who released the following on Instagram:

“When we finished the incredible journey of creating this groundbreaking project, The People v. OJ Simpson, we all knew we’d created something incredibly wonderful and special together! It was an opportunity of a lifetime to work with such a dream cast and to portray a man like Johnnie Cochran. To receive an Emmy nomination today is the continuation of this phenomenal journey and is indeed a true blessing and honor. I am overjoyed that my wife, my mother, and children are here to enjoy this moment with me. Although the disease ALS has taken my mother’s ability to speak, I see joy and pride written all over her face right now. Being surrounded by my family – at this very moment – means everything to me!”

Overall, we’re looking forward to diving more and more into these over the coming weeks. It’s an interesting field for the most part, and given some of the Emmys’ choices, we’re not entirely sure what all of the favorites are going to be.
