With the glitz and glamour of awards season feeling like a thing of the past - exaggerated by the Coronavirus lockdown, which makes it seem like a live event hasn't taken place in a decade - the Emmy nominations for 2020 have been announced.<\/p>\n
Saturday Night Live's Leslie Jones hosted the nominations reveal on Tuesday, with the help of Laverne Cox, Josh Gaad and Tatiana Maslany. Jimmy Kimmel will host the actual ceremony on September 20, but what form the show will take - due to the pandemic - is currently unknown.<\/p>\n
Among the many nominees for TV's biggest night were some real treats - especially for British and Irish actors - as well as some disappointing snubs.<\/p>\n
One of the best reactions to a nomination came from Paul Mescal, whose breakout role as the enigmatic chain-wearing Connell Waldron in Normal People, has landed him a best actor in a limited series nod.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old shared his reaction on Instagram, sharing a screengrab from the 12-part BBC Three series of Connell crying with the simple-yet-effective subtitles: *Sobs*.<\/p>\n

The Irish actor said the picture was representative of his 'actual face right now', before paying tribute to his co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones, who surprisingly did not receive a nomination for her portrayal of Marianne opposite Mescal.<\/p>\n
'This only exists because of you and your extraordinary talent,' Mescal captioned the picture.<\/p>\n
Edgar-Jones also shared a picture of Mescal with the show's director Lenny Abrahmson, who also was nominated, saying she 'could not be more proud of these two utterly incredible people'.<\/p>\n

'Working with you both has been one of the greatest joys of my life,' she wrote in a post which has received an overwhelming number of comments from fans of the show outraged that she was left off the nomination list.<\/p>\n
Other nomination highlights include Zendaya receiving her first Emmy nod for Euphoria - which Cox practically squealed as she announced live on TV as too did Unorthodox's Shira Haas. Jennifer Aniston receiving her first nomination since Friends for The Morning Show, Olivia Colman for The Crown, Billy Porter for Pose, and Watchmen and Succession receiving multiple nods.<\/p>\n
Black actors, such as Kerry Washington, Tracee Ellis-Ross and Regina King, also earned a record number of nominations, though the list is still largely dominated by white actors. <\/p>\n
