The TV Academy is a notoriously redundant bunch, often honoring the same shows and performers year in and year out. But with this year's Emmy rule changes and a slate of excellent television to cherry-pick, it turns out a lot of our favorites made the ballot. In fact, the nominations are pretty swell. (Congrats, Tatiana Maslany! We were rooting for you, Lisa Kudrow! Didn't expect to see you there, Keegan-Michael Key!)
