Surprise: David Harbour, Supporting Actor, Drama

Stranger Things is a bonafide hit, but we didn't expect the Emmy love to splash over to Hopper.

Surprise: Matthew Rhys, Guest Actor in a Comedy

Matthew Rhys does stellar work on The Americans, so that nomination was expected, but we didn't think his turn on the final season of Girls would also turn heads at the TV Academy. We guess it was that scene...

Surprise: Vanessa Bayer, Supporting Actress, Comedy

Hap? Vanessa Bayer was always Saturday Night Live's secret weapon, from "Rachel on Friends" to her newest character, Dawn Lazarus. This is her first nomination—and last for SNL unless she comes back to host, she left at the end of this season.

Surprise: Jane Fonda, Lead Actress, Comedy

Surprise: Carrie Coon Lead Actress, Miniseries or TV Movie

This year's Fargo certainly didn't have as much buzz as previous year's, but it's all good because queen Carrie Coon finally got an Emmy nomination!

NBC

Surprise: Chrissy Metz, Supporting Actress, Drama

Oh the tears we've cried because of This Is Us. Who can forget Kate's breakthrough at weight-loss camp? Certainly not us, but we didn't know the TV Academy felt its impact as much as we did!
