-

LR-TelevisionAcademyThe Television Academy has recently released their nomination for the 2017 Emmy awards, and Below the Line has compiled some reactions from the nominees for you to read below.


“Once it sunk in (and just before my phone started exploding)…I was instantly overwhelmed with admiration for all the brilliant people who made this show—I’ve never loved a crew of people more, nor have I been so proud of a finished product. I also couldn’t wait to thank our fellow nominees for all of their hard work that further establishes this as a legitimate art-form…then I went on a hike and blasted kate bush on my headphones…and now I’m back home writing ‘thank you’ emails!” said Master of None music supervisor Zach Cowie on the occasion of being nominated for Outstanding Music Supervision.

 

In reaction to being nominated for Outstanding Period/Fantasy Costumes for a Series, Limited Series or Movie, The Crown’s costume designer, Michele Clapton said “We are thrilled to have been nominated for a Costume Emmy for The Crown. It has been wonderful how well The Crown has been received worldwide. It is a wonderfully written drama about a family we think we know, yet as the story unfolds it makes us question our preconceived ideas and these figures become human. It was a privilege to be able to help tell this story with costume choices, the public looks we know and the private styles which we imagined.”

 

“It sounds strange to say, having won an Emmy Award already for House of Cards, but I am incredibly surprised to be recognized with a nomination for Season 5. It just shows that people are still invested in the Underwoods, and I am genuinely proud to be along for the ride,” said four-time Emmy winner Jeff Bael on being nominated for Outstanding Music Composition For A Series (Original Dramatic Score) for House of Cards
