Bei der jetzt veröffentlichten Vorauswahl konnten sich gleich mehrere Neulinge in die Nominierungslisten arbeiten, darunter  "Stranger Things" des Streaming-Dienstes Netflix,  "Westworld", Donald Glovers neue Sitcom  "Atlanta" sowie  "This Is Us" von NBC als einziger Vertreter von den Broadcast Networks in den Serienkategorien.

Im Drehbuch-Bereich konnten  "Better Call Saul" von AMC und  "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" von Netflix je mehrere Einträge auf die Nominierungsliste bringen.
