As the title says, here’s the list of the 2013 Emmy Award nominations (American Horror Story: Asylum leads with 17 nominations), slightly abridged because there are like fifty billion categories and you’d be kidding yourself if you thought you’re actually going to read the whole thing.

A couple notable snubs here:
- Seriously, not a single ounce of love for Parks and Recreation? “Halloween Surprise” was quite possibly the most perfect episode of the entire year, and you just glazed right over that one.
- According to the internet, I should really be watching Orphan Black, because Tatiana Maslany is amazing in it and she got completely ripped off.
- Once again, RuPaul’s Drag Race got shut out in the reality competition categories, despite being one of, if not the most critically acclaimed shows of its genre. I get that the Emmys don’t like to stray from their comfort zone, but what the hell? Seriously, even Face Off would have been welcome.
- No Justified? Sons of Anarchy? Archer? Whose cereal did FX pee in?
