Ωστόσο, αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως η σειρά φαινόμενο, το 2015 είχε 24 υποψηφιότητες και συνολικά απέσπασε 12 βραβεία.
Εκεί που έγινε η έκπληξη ήταν στο American Crime: People vs O. J. Simpson, μια σειρά που έγινε δεκτή με πολλούς επαίνους, αλλά και αρκετές αρνητικές κριτικές, η οποία κατάφερε να φέρει 22 υποψηφιότητες και να κάνει ρεκόρ στην ιστορία των Emmy για σειρά πρώτης σεζόν, αφού καμία άλλη δεν το έχει πετύχει σε αυτά τα 68 χρόνια.
Στα άλλα highlights των υποψηφιοτήτων των Emmy Awards βρίσκουμε το Fargo που με την καταπληκτική του δεύτερη σεζόν πήρε μπόλικες υποψηφιότητες στις κατηγορίες μίνι σειράς, το Orange Is The New Black, η Julia Louis-Dreyfus που είναι υποψήφια στην κατηγορία καλύτερης ηθοποιού σε κωμωδία για 5η συνεχή χρονιά στα Emmy και ο Ty Burell από το Modern Family που είναι υποψήφιος στην κατηγορία supporting actor κωμωδίας για 7η συνεχόμενη σεζόν, με ήδη δύο κατακτήσεις, όντας ο μόνος που κρατάει τη σειρά σταθερά στα Emmy.
Η 68η Απονομή των Primetime Emmy Awards θα τιμήσει τα καλύτερα τηλεοπτικά σόου αλλά και εμφανίσεις από την 1η Ιουνίου 2015 μέχρι τις 31 Μαΐου 2016.
