The Television Academy just dropped the nominations for the 2022 Emmy awards, announced by Melissa Fumero and JB Smoove. To be eligible for this year’s awards, a show had to air between June 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022. This year, the competition was stiffer than ever, with almost 200 drama series alone vying for one of eight nomination slots available, and comedy was not much better, with 118 series in contention.
