KERRY WASHINGTON, MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY & BRYAN CRANSTON 2014 Primetime Emmy Nominees Announced!

The Emmys got it RIGHT this year! The 2014 Primetime Emmy Nominees were announced this morning, and to say the categories are competitive is an understatement. Matthew McConaughey is returning to the awards show circuit for his work in HBO’s ‘True Detective. Will he add to his collection? Bryan Cranston earned another nomination for ‘Breaking Bad’; this will be his final nomination for his acting as Walter White since the show ended last year. ‘Scandal’ star Kerry Washington scored another nomination. Maybe she can win this year, but she faces stiff competition: Robin Wright is amazing job in ‘House of Cards.’  Take a look at the full list of nominees after the break.
