Emmys 2015: TV Insiders' Dream Nominees!
Aya Cash, You’re the Worst
“It is time for [Orphan Black‘s] Tatiana Maslany to get an Emmy nomination. And I’m also a huge fan of Veep — one of the funniest shows on television.”
John Ridley, creator, American Crime
“The thing I’ve been watching that swept me up and carried me along was Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Really smart, really funny.”
Finn Wittrock, AHS: Freak Show
“Ben Mendelsohn in Bloodline blew my mind. That whole show was really, really amazing, and maybe slightly overlooked. But the writing and acting ensemble were really insane.”
Jennie Urman, executive producer, Jane the Virgin
“I love The Americans so much, and I hope to see it get recognized. The writing, the acting, the production design, the score — it’s all so exceptional! And Emmy nominations would mean more people would see this gem of a show.”
Janet McTeer, The Honorable Woman
“Masters of Sex. Amazing writing for women — I love it.”
Lizzy Caplan, Masters of Sex
“I would give it to Gaby Hoffmann in Transparent. She is so awesome on that show — and on Girls. I just think she’s the most awesome. I vote her.”
Constance Wu, Fresh Off the Boat
“The entire cast of Getting On is amazing. [Alex Borstein] breaks my heart and makes me almost have a hernia from laughing so hard. And then Laurie Metcalf — all of them. It would be a dream to do something like that.”
Danny Strong, executive producer, Empire
“I’m a huge fan of The Knick. I hope it gets some Emmy love, because it deserves it.”
Tituss Burgess, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
“Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga from Bates Motel. Oh, and Eva Green from Penny Dreadful. Jesus Christ. Blows my mind. They give stunning performances, so I’m rooting for them.”
Gillian Jacobs, Community
“I would love to see Melanie Lynskey from Togetherness win an Emmy.”
Eden Sher, The Middle
“Amy Schumer, 100 percent. And I love Bob’s Burgers. I wonder if Broad City will get recognized — I love it. And Rick and Morty. [Laughs]”
Sadie Calvano, Mom
“I love Girls. I also loved Mad Men, I’m so sad that it’s over. That was such a fun one to watch.”
Chuck Lorre, executive producer, Mom/The Big Bang Theory
“I’m a big fan of Silicon Valley. I just think it’s hilarious. The cast and Mike Judge are brilliant.”
Desmin Borges, You’re the Worst
“I normally root for the underdog, but I can’t wait to see what speech Jeffrey Tambor gives for Transparent. It’s without a doubt one of the greatest television performances I’ve seen.”
Alison Wright, The Americans
“Ben Mendelsohn’s performance in Bloodline is just rocking my world. What he does is just something else, and I certainly hope he gets the attention and praise that he deserves.”
Elvis Nolasco, American Crime
“There’s so many. Bill Murray [in Olive Kitteridge], Jonathan Pryce [in Game of Thrones].”
Christopher Eccleston, The Leftovers
“I’ve got two really, really small children. The last show that I was totally addicted to was Breaking Bad, so I’m not qualified. Personally, Ann Dowd from The Leftovers. She’s everybody’s hero on The Leftovers, and Justin [Theroux]. That would be justice.”
Jaime Camil, Jane the Virgin
“To be honest, I have two kids. I’ve been watching only Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse and My Little Pony. I’m a little disconnected, but I’ve [enjoyed] House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black. As long as the nominations are fair, and as long as everyone who deserves to be there is there, let’s just have fun.”
Gemma Baker, creator, Mom
“I just binge-watched Transparent, and I think it will be recognized. What an incredible show.”
