Emmy season is like Christmas for TV lovers. We love watching our favorite actors and shows get the recognition they deserve (just as much as we love seeing their red carpet looks). Even if watching some of our faves get snubbed is equally as heartbreaking — where are the noms for Joseph Quinn and Selena Gomez?! — we can't get enough. Keep scrolling for some of the Emmy nominations we're most excited about.

Three of our favorite series — Squid Game, Euphoria, and Stranger Things — all got nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. From the drama and action to the character building and relationships, they definitely pull on our heartstrings and equally deserve a win!
Squid Game's Jung Ho-yeon is also nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series.

Actress Sydney Sweeney has finally been nominated for not one Emmy, but for both Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series for Euphoria and Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie for The White Lotus.

After sending the 1985 hit "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" to the top of the charts, Stranger Things' "Chapter Four: Dear Billy" is nominated for Outstanding Music Supervision. We're definitely not mad about this considering we've had this song on repeat since the season dropped (although we do wish Sadie Sink had gotten an acting nom).

It's hard to pick a favorite from the Outstanding Lead Actor In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie category; Oscar Isaac is nominated for Scenes From A Marriage, Andrew Garfield is nominated for Under The Banner Of Heaven, and Sebastian Stan is nominated for Pam & Tommy.
We're also excited that Donald Glover is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series for his work on Atlanta.

The Lead Actress nominations are just as good! Amanda Seyfried is nominated for The Dropout in the Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie category, while Quinta Brunson and Issa Rae are both nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series for their work in Abbott Elementary and Insecure, respectively.

Considering how obsessed we are with the fashion and beauty of Bridgerton, we're over the moon that it got some Emmy nods for Outstanding Period Costumes and Outstanding Period And/Or Character Hairstyling.
Euphoria has also become known for its beauty looks — from artistic eyeliner to tons of glitter — and is nominated for Outstanding Contemporary Makeup (Non-Prosthetic).
