The Crown, 2017 Emmys

Netflix

John Lithgow, The Crown (Netflix)

"THE CROWN just keeps on giving and this morning's nomination is only the latest of its gifts.  I'm especially pleased that Claire Foy is my co-nominee, one of the best actors and best people I've ever worked with and that, by nominating the series, the Academy has recognized the scores of extraordinary people who created THE CROWN.  How do I celebrate?  I haven't changed my plans: I'm taking my wife to a Lyle Lovett concert tonight in Montana, something Winston Churchill never got to do."

Angela Bassett, Master of None (Netflix)

"I am tremendously thrilled to have been nominated. Just goes to show you that it all starts with a great script—in its pages lay heart, humor, and the idea that family is where we should feel safe to express ourselves with boldness. I always thought I was funny; and the Master of None team—Aziz, Alan, Melina, and the amazing Lena—gave me a beautiful opportunity to show that 'secret' side of myself."

"What an incredible honor to be recognized by the Television Academy and alongside such a talented group of actors.

I also want to thank HBO for their continued support and for championing projects that challenge and revolutionize how stories can be told on television."
