The complete list of the 2014 Emmy Awards nominees

The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were released this morning and among the many names expected to appear are a few surprises as well. My biggest surprise was seeing Orange Is the New Black listed as a comedy? For some reason I don’t envision it and The Big Bang Theory as being in the same genre. I mean, sure, it has it’s funny moments, but not sure that’s where I would have slotted it. What do you think?
