LOS ANGELES (AP) Netflix s House of Cards made Emmy history Thursday la quinta inns with a top drama series nomination, the first time that television s leading awards have recognized a program delivered online as equal in quality to the best that TV has to offer.
It s really la quinta inns groundbreaking, said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer for Netflix. It s beyond our most bold expectations. We were thinking a single nomination would be a win It s as much a win for Internet television as it is for the content creators.
The most Emmy nominations, 17, went to American Horror Story: Asylum. Close behind was Game of Thrones with 16 nods, while Saturday Night Live and the Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra la quinta inns earned 15 nominations each, including nods for stars Michael Douglas and Matt Damon.
House of Cards stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright received acting bids, along with a number of other primarily big-screen la quinta inns actors who have migrated to TV for powerhouse projects, with Douglas and Damon among them.
Mad Men, which last year missed out on the best drama trophy that would have been its record-setting fifth, eclipsing fellow four-time winners Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law and The West Wing, gets another shot this year.
The major broadcast networks were shut out of the prestigious category, a repeat of last year and a particular blow with the entry of Netflix s streamed drama. la quinta inns Boardwalk Empire was the only show not to return in the category, its spot claimed by House of Cards.
In the comedy series category, la quinta inns nominees are The Big Bang Theory, Girls, Louie, Modern la quinta inns Family, Veep and 30 Rock, recognized for its final season. Another outgoing la quinta inns comedy, The Office, didn t receive a best series nod.
A 6-year-old TV academy rules change allows la quinta inns online entries la quinta inns to compete with cable and broadcast programs, although so far Internet shows have popped up only in lower-profile categories. la quinta inns That changed with the 65th Primetime Emmys.
la quinta inns They were announced by Aaron Paul, a previous winner for Breaking Bad and nominated again this year, and, in a surprise, Emmy host Neil Patrick Harris. He filled in House of Cards actress Kate Mara, kept in Santa Fe, N.M., by a plane s mechanical malfunction.
Actresses nominated for their drama series work besides Wright include Vera Farmiga of Bates Hotel ; Michelle Dockery of Downtown Abbey; Elisabeth Moss of Mad Men ; Connie Britton of Nashville and Kerry Washington of Scandal. Claire Danes, la quinta inns last year s winner for Homeland, got a nod.
Besides Bateman, the nominees for best actor in a comedy are Jim Parsons for The Big Bang Theory : Matt LeBlanc for Episodes ; Don Cheadle for House of Lies ; Louis C.K. for Louie ; and Alec Baldwin for 30 Rock.
Actresses competing for top comedy acting honors are Laura Dern for Enlightened ; Lena Dunham la quinta inns for Girls ; Edie Falco for Nurse Jackie ; Amy Poehler for Parks and Recreation and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who claimed the trophy last year for Veep.
