3 thoughts on the nominations:

-As much as Mandy Moore’s character isn’t my favorite on “This Is Us,” I was surprised she wasn’t nominated. And you know Milo and Sterling will split the votes in that category.

-How is “Modern Family” still getting nominated? It still has good episodes, but overall it’s gone downhill. Also there are seven shows up for best comedy, which seems to be way too many.

-There are always snubs, but “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” has popped up on some snub lists. Frankly, the show wasn’t good. The acting wasn’t at its peak and some of the writing was so fluff. It was entered in the limited series category, which seemed like a good choice given its revival run, but I’m OK with it not being nominated.

The 69th Emmys will air on Sunday, Sept. 17, on CBS.

Here’s some sparkle for your winter blues.

5: Highest number of nominations for one show (“The People v. O.J. Simpson,” which has nominations for actor, actress, supporting actor (2 nominations), and limited series/TV movie)

3: Number of shows with two nominations in the same category: “This is Us” has two supporting actress nominations for Mandy Moore and Chrissy Metz; “The Night Of” has two actor nominations for John Turturro and Riz Ahmed; and “The People v.

2: Number of shows who received multiple nominations without receiving nomination top award in its category (“The Americans” and “Mr. Robot” each received 2 acting formations, but neither are up for best TV drama.)
