The nominations for the most important television awards have been revealed. On the 20th of September, we'll know which television cast and crew are allowed to take Emmy Awards with them. The nominations for the 72nd Emmy Awards were presented by Leslie Jones (Saturday Night Live). She received the help of Laverne Cox (Orange Is the New Black), Josh Gad (Avenue 5) and Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black). The ceremony could be seen live on Emmys.com.
