The 2015 Emmys are officially on their way, with the announcement of the nominees this morning. See the full list below.
Some first thoughts on it: Our comedy Queens and Kings are getting. it. Amy Schumer, Will Forte, Kate McKinnon and Keegan-Michael Key all got nominations (please can I sit with this group?). The snubs include Ellie Kemper, Gina Rodriguez and Andy Samberg (and Jim Parsons, but let's be real, the fact he's won four times is the more shocking). For dramas, the snubs hit last year's winner Julianna Marguilies, as well as Kerry Washington. But Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson AND Tatiana Maslany got noms, so you lose some you win some? American Horror Story and Transparent both got their deserved nominations and for that, I am happy. However... Some of the biggest snubs were the complete shut-outs of acclaimed shows like Empire (other than Taraji, thank GOD), The Americans, and the one that hit me hard: The Affair. WHAT GIVES EMMYS. THE GLOBES GET IT. Here is the full list, let me know your comments below!

"For more than a decade, I was fortunate enough to play a role in the success of E! News and will miss my family at the show,” Rancic said in a statement. “At the same time, I am excited to not only continue as host of two major franchises on E! but also executive produce the aspirational new show Rich in Faith for Oxygen as well as take my wine and clothing lines to the next level. This is such a thrilling time for me and I thank the gang at E! for understanding my desire to embark on this next chapter in my life," she added.
This all comes after Rancic made controversial comments about Zendaya's dreadlocks during a post-Oscar Fashion Police. Then-co-host Kelly Osbourne as well as Kathy Griffin both quit the show following the comments. Melissa Rivers will be joining Fashion Police when it returns in September. The First Day of Camp is almost a month away, so it's time to start getting ready. Netflix helped us along that path by releasing the first trailer for the new series, an eight-episode prequel to the 2001 cult comedy Wet Hot American Summer. You'll see all the familiar faces in the promo video for Camp Firewood below, as well as some new faces and a blossoming love affair. First Day of Camp premieres July 31.
