Goldderby has produced a list of the episode submitted by actors in all the categories for Drama and Comedy for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards. Once actors are nominated by a popular vote, they must each submit one episode showcasing their work to the Academy. These episodes are viewed by judging panels of actors (a different panel for each category), who then vote based on the episodes. Essentially, episode submission largely determines who wins an Emmy.

Among the list were terrific choices from Mad Men nominees Jon Hamm and Elizabeth Moss who submitted "The Suitcase", an episode almost exclusively stuctured around their two characters and featuring drunk scenes and a variety of emotions (Emmy voters love that).

Glee's Chris Colfer wisely resisted fan sentiment for his bullying and gay teen romance storyline and instead submitted "Grilled Cheesus", where Kurt grapples with faith in the aftermath of his father's heart attack. This was a good move since Emmy voters are largely older men, and while many of Glee's themes may skew too young for them, questioning God and dealing with the death of a loved one might be more relatable.

The Primetime Emmy nominations were announced on July 14 and both broadcast and cable series had something to smile about.  It’s no surprise AMC’s Mad Men earned a Best Drama nomination, plus 18 more for a leading 19 nominations. HBO’s Boardwalk Empire was close behind with 18 nominations, including Outstanding Drama, but will be competing against fellow HBO series Game of Thrones for the big award.

ABC’s Modern Family scored the most comedy nominations, with 17. Fox’s Glee picked up nominations in the Outstanding Comedy, Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor categories.  The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Parks & Recreation and 30 Rock joined Modern Family and Glee as the nominees in the Outstanding Comedy category.

On the drama side, Friday Night Lights earned a much deserved Best Drama nomination. It also took home nominations for Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton in the Lead Actor and Actress categories. The critically acclaimed CBS legal drama The Good Wife didn’t need an injunction to get nominations for Outstanding Drama, Lead Actress, two Supporting Actor nominations and two Supporting Actress nominations. Timothy Olyphant, Walton Goggins and the brilliant Margo Martindale earned nominations for FX’s Justified in the Lead Actor, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress categories, respectively. Peter Dinklage earned Game of Thrones its only acting nomination in the Supporting Actor category, for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister. Showtime’s Dexter joined Boardwalk Empire, Friday Night Lights, Game of Thrones, The Good Wife and Mad Men with a Best Drama nominations. 

What do you think of this year's Emmy nominations? Is there any series or actor who you think was snubbed of a nomination. AMC's The Walking Dead could make a strong argument for being robbed of an Outstanding Drama nomination. See the full list after the jump!
