"I'm thrilled and grateful to be nominated for an Emmy today! As if Will & Grace coming back in the first place wasn't enough, to have the chance to play Karen Walker again feels like a miracle to me. Will & Grace allowed me to move out of my apartment in West Hollywood and buy clothes from stores that weren't Jet Rag. It's given me confidence and changed my life. Thanks and kisses to all the Emmy voters. xox 💝"

The fact that this show has received so much Emmy recognition, it is so rewarding and so touching at the same time. To have this honor to share with the people that I adore, that I respect so much, that worked with me who were collaborators are now family, life-long friends. I am so happy that all of us can share this honor. It's beautiful."

"[It means so much], just the visibility of people who look different and act different, to see people like that celebrated. To see in Queer Eye, a diverse cast of people celebrated, not only through the five of us but the eight people that we had the honor to work with in the first season -- it's amazing. We are just so honored and blown away." -- Jonathan Van Ness (star)

"I am beyond flattered and honored to be nominated, especially amongst such an inspiring group of directors. Making Atlanta is truly a family affair, and I'm so grateful to Donald and FX and to the writers, actors, and crew that make this show possible." -- Hiro Murai (executive producer and director)

"Of course it's thrilling to see this series attract so much recognition, and I am forever grateful to Tom Rob Smith for his brilliant take, to my producing partners, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Brad Falchuk for their collaboration and friendship, and to our talented cast who breathed such humanity into these characters. This was a heartbreaking story to tell, made more so by the fact that we continue as a culture to grapple with homophobia and shame and intolerance." -- Ryan Murphy (executive producer and director)

"It's been an interesting year for the show to say the least and none of it would have been possible without each person on my staff and each suit at TBS (it's ok to say that--they're very nice suits!). TBS bravely put a woman over 45 on TV and in turn I only got yelled at by the president once. We have some seriously special people on our staff and hearing them go crazy in the office right now is just the medicine this world needs." -- Samantha Bee (host)

"Gut reaction? It feels good," co-showrunner Joel Fields told TV Guide, minutes after they found out _The Americans_ was nominated.

"A lot of the people who prognosticate about these things were predicting the likelihood that we would get nominated, but we were usually the last one, which seemed just as likely that we would fall off and not get nominated (laughs)," co-showrunner Joe Weisman told TV Guide. "So I think we were sitting right in that place of we might be in and we might not be, which is not the most comfortable place to be."

"Ultimately we're grateful for the fact that we just got to make the show, to tell this story and work with these incredible people," Fields continued. "But to have it recognized by the Academy in this final season, it means a lot. ""Im confused, didn't we just win? What's going on? I feel like we just won," Fields said.

"This is a victory, we'll take this. This is winning.""That said, I don't want to discourage any voters from voting for our show," Weisman said.

"I feel immensely fortunate to be acknowledged by the members of the Television Academy for directing. I am very proud of this particular Portlandia episode and am honored to be nominated. In addition, to have Portlandia's final season end with a nomination in the Best Variety Sketch category is truly special. I feel very lucky." -- Carrie Brownstein (co-creator and star)

"Thank you to everyone at the Television Academy for this nomination. Thank you to our dedicated team. And an astronomical thank you to our contributors who were brave enough to tell their stories of the vicious and destructive doctrine of the Church of Scientology. To our fellow nominees...we are all motivated, when creating our respective shows, to share stories for the people who felt their stories weren't shared. From VICE-HBO, StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, David Letterman to Anthony Bourdain we all felt a duty to give light to people from all walks of life. Bourdain once said, 'Without... a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund.' To Anthony and his team, a huge congrats for your well-deserved nomination, to his fans and those who loved him, we send our heartfelt condolences, and may he Rest In Peace" - Leah Remini

"I'm so honored to be part of This is Us. This sort of opportunity comes along once in a lifetime. I'm especially grateful to Dan Fogelman and the writers for finding a way to continue to tell William's story. Thank you to the Academy for recognizing so many of the talented cast and crew from This Is Us today. I can't wait to celebrate with them soon!"

"I am so honored and humbled to have received a second Emmy nomination for a show that I love dearly. The writing is spot on perfection and working with the actors on the show is a total joy."

"I thought today was gonna be special because I get to go kayaking at noon... now this?! What an unexpected blessing! I feel so proud to be included in the Television Academy's list of outstanding performances- what a lovely compliment. Westworld is storytelling at it's finest and I'm just ecstatic to be a small part of it. I'm ecstatic about the kayaking too so I better get ready and find my swim trunks as they seem to have disappeared."
