"It all started here. Thank you to the real men for inviting me to tell their story. Thank you @TelevisionAcad for honoring the work. Saluting every single crew and cast member. And saluting Raymond, Korey, Antron, Yusef and Kevin. Love you, brothers. #WhenTheySeeUs" –Ava DuVernay
"I am deeply honored to receive this EMMY nomination for such an important project. I truly hope it will bring more much-needed attention to this rarely seen kingdom of resilient, beautiful animals in a way that inspires everyone to help protect it for years to come." –Angela Bassett
"I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to recreate this wild character, to work with my dear friend Sarah Paulson as a director, and to revisit this incredible world Ryan Murphy created. Thank you to the Academy." —Jessica Lange

"BILLY ON THE STREET just got its 4th Emmy nomination!!! This time for Best Short Form Variety Series. So proud!!! WHAT A WEEK!!!!" –Billy Eichner
"Thank you to the EMMYs for the nominations for Who Is America?. It was a bare-bones production – I went out into the heartland of this country armed only with a camera crew, a makeup kit and my trusted pedophile detector.
I want to thank my crack team of researchers told to uncover bigotry, racism and hate in the US. That took them about 30 seconds… they just started following the President.
While I am flattered at these nods, it is a shame that my co-stars were not recognized. Particularly Dick Cheney, who I had hoped would come across on camera as someone who'd gleefully sent hundreds of thousands to their pointless death – and boy did he deliver. I've played some lunatics in my time, but the look of vacuous evil in his eyes as he autographed a waterboard kit, would put Daniel Day Lewis to shame.
There's one more person I need to thank even though she didn't appear in the final project, Sarah Palin. Sarah, if you are out there, and you are WAY out there, please know the last time unseen footage generated as much interest, was when Donald Trump visited a Moscow hotel room." —Sacha Baron Cohen

"Its been so inspiring to be part of HOSTILE PLANET, a series unlike any other that I've been involved in before," the host and executive producer states. "There's no doubt that it shines new light on how unforgiving and challenging life can be for animals at the toughest of times. I'm incredibly grateful to the Television Academy for honoring my role in this groundbreaking series and to National Geographic for the privilege of being able to guide viewers through these powerful, and at times shocking stories of survival." –Bear Grylls
"It's always nice to be invited to a party! Thanks so much to the Television Academy for nominating us again and everyone at truTV, the writers, cast and crew for making our show possible. I must admit this year's Emmy nomination is slightly bittersweet – I had my eye on hosting." –Amy Sedaris

"This nomination is a tribute to Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana, Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam. Let's all say their names. Yusef's mother, Sharonne Salaam, is nothing less than a warrior for her son and a survivor of an emotional violence few of us will ever understand. I am utterly grateful to her. Thank you to the visionary Ava DuVernay and Netflix for giving me the blessing to be a part of this act of restorative justice." –Aunjanue Ellis
"Astonished by the surprising Emmy pat on my back, humbled. My heart is bursting with pride for all my When They See Us brothers and sisters and their noms.

"ok, so, this is bonkers & makes no sense to me, but if it means I get to stand among this group of incredible actors, I'll take it! I'm over the moon to be nominated for my first Emmy — not sure it's fully sunk in yet. Massively grateful to Bill Hader and Alec Berg for writing such a fun, unique character (and missing all my major arteries in that first episode) the magical folks at HBO, and the TV Academy for this honor. The truth is Stephen Root, Henry Winkler, Bill Hader, and Sarah Goldberg ALL getting acting nominations is the real win. I love my BARRY (pronounced "Bah-ree") family. I'm gonna go pass out now…or just start dancing. Probably both." –Anthony Carrigan
"I have no words. To be recognized by the Emmy voters for a show and a character I love so deeply is just beyond. The OZARK family is tight. Jason Bateman-our Commander in Chief, THANK YOU.

"I was on set this AM when the Emmy nominations were announced. As the news broke, our director Ken Olin was literally attempting to direct a disobedient puppy in a scene. It was 8:30AM, and it was already hot, and the dog wasn't doing… well, anything. But our crew remained in great spirits, devoting themselves to the scene and the show as they have for the past three years. Thank you to the Television Academy for recognizing their hard work, and for all of the individual nominations. This continues to be the wildest ride of all of our careers, and we don't take it for granted. Except for the dog, who is turning into a real diva." –Dan Fogelman
"Holy crap!! So excited for Amy Sherman-Palladino, whose genius is finally on full display. This is all hers. Congrats to the whole Maisel mishpuchah.
