Not surprisingly, HBO's fan favorite Game of Thrones is among the shows leading the pack of nominations, which were announced by Mindy Kaling and Carson Daly in a live webcast Thursday morning.
As expected, many of TV's most binge-worthy series are in contention, including AMC's Breaking Bad, HBO's True Detective and FX's Louie.
In a pair of nominations that were all but guaranteed, Matthew McConaughey (True Detective) will face off against Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston in the dramatic acting category.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus scored her third consecutive comedy actress nomination for her work in HBO's political satire Veep. (She has won the prize for the past two years.)
Another returning nominee: Peter Dinklage, who won for his role as Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones in 2011 and is coming off his most arresting season on the series yet.
The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Aug. 25 on NBC.
