The Emmy Awards are coming soon, giving fans a chance to see their favorites in TV and film get the recognition they deserve for their acting chops. After the Emmy Awards 2016 nominations were released, many took to the Internet for more information, looking up terms such as “Emmy Nominations 2016.” Here Are the Emmy Awards 2016 Nominees.

Though not every show made the cut for the Emmy Awards 2016, this year’s turn out wasn’t bad at all. TV has arguably gotten better and scripts are getting smarter as the times change. Many writers and show creators have learned (and are learning) to create shows that appropriately reflect the times we live in and address what people want or need to see, without being forceful. For a while now, A-list stars have been taking refuge on the small screen, being able to show their talents to a larger audience, as opposed to a sporadic timeline with a two-hour movie time frame. Who do you think the Emmy Awards 2016 winners will be?
