The 69th Annual Primetime Emmy award nominees were recently announced by '
Veep' actress Anna Chlumsky and former '
Criminal Minds' actor Shemar Moore. Despite the HBO (Home Box Office) network making of 37% of the nominations with a total of 41; including shows such as comedy series '
Veep' with 10-nominations, limited series' '
Big Little Lies' and '
The Night Of' both receiving a total of 8-nominations, drama series '
Westworld' with 7-nominations, comedy series '
Silicon Valley' with 4-nominations, and drama film '
The Wizard of Lies' with 3-nominations, it seems there was no room left on the ballots for drama/fantasy series '
The Leftovers'.

'The Leftovers' 2014-2017 |
This years Drama category alone must have been a difficult choice for the Television Academy to make with such contenders as actor Justin Theroux and his role as Kevin Garvey on '
The Leftovers' being looked over.
|
Justin Theroux as Kevin Garvey on 'The Leftovers' |
Theroux lost his spot respectively to actors Sterling K. Brown & Milo Ventimiglia on NBC's '
This Is Us', Anthony Hopkins on HBO's '
Westworld', Bob Odenkirk on AMC's '
Better Call Saul', Matthew Rhys on FX's '
The Americans', Liev Schreiber on Showtime's '
Ray Donovan', and 4-time Emmy nominee Kevin Spacey on Netflix's '
House of Cards' - so Theroux's Emmy snub is understandable given the fierce competition.

Carrie Coon as Nora Durst on 'The Leftovers' |
|
Ann Dowd as Patti Levins on 'The Leftovers' |
However, his co-stars actresses Carrie Coon and Ann Dowd, did receive Emmy nominations respectively, but not for their roles as Nora Durst and Patti Levins on '
The Leftovers'.
|
Carrie Coon - Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie, 'Fargo' |
|
Ann Dowd - Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, 'The Handmaid's Tale' |
Coon received her Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role as Gloria Burgle on FX's '
Fargo', and Dowd received her Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Aunt Lydia on Hulu's '
The Handmaid's Tale'.

Maybe the Television Academy with make-up for '
The Leftovers' being snubbed by letting Justin be a presenter - sort of like when his wife Jennifer was snubbed during the 2015-Oscars for her role in indie/drama film '
Cake', and they let her co-present.
