Actors on basic cable programs make up the majority of contenders for Emmy nominations in the best acting categories this year, the Washington Post says. The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences revealed the top ten finalists in the best lead actor and actress categories for both drama and comedy series, and in each cable favorites are making their presence known. The best actress in a drama category alone pits seven cable potential nominees against three from broadcast TV, the Post reports.
