Well, this is definitely going to be a battle.
Though they’re in separate categories based on genre, “Feud: Bette & Joan” and “Stranger Things” are slated to go head to head at this year’s Emmy Awards Ceremony, which will take place on September 17, 2017. The full ballot is in, including performance and technical nominees, and I’m happy to say that “Feud” has notched 20 nominations with “Stranger Things” coming in a close second with 18 nominations. It’ll be interesting to see if they sweep the ceremony, or even win at all!
Other shows were able to sneak onto the ballot once the technical nominees were announced by Variety on July 13. I’ve copied the nominees important to our genres and included them below. Thanks, Variety! Check ’em out and be sure to click here for the list of performance nominees.
Nominations Totals: Feud (20), Stranger Things (18), American Horror Story: Roanoke (3), Gotham (3), Penny Dreadful (3), Fear the Walking Dead (2), The Leftovers (1), The Walking Dead (1)
