FEW SHOCKS AT THE EMMY NOMINATIONS:

SNUB: Oprah Winfrey  You may have thought the Academy could never snub Winfrey — voters just spot her name on the ballot, and even if they haven’t seen her in the role for which she’s nominated, they’ll usually still give her the nod. But this year that proved not to be true, as Winfrey was overlooked for limited series “The Immortal LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS  SURPRISE: “Westworld” ties with “Saturday Night Live” for the most Emmy nominations this year. After years of genre programming not getting much attention in the top categories (with the notable exception of “Game of Thrones,” of course), the Academy recognized HBO’s sci-fi western thriller. “Westworld” garnered 22 nominations in categories that ranged from outstanding drama series to outstanding directing for a drama. This could be a turning point for the awards.
