The 67th Primetime Emmy Awards honored the best in US prime time television programming from June 1, 2014 until May 31, 2015, as chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The ceremony was held on Sunday, September 20, 2015 at the Microsoft TheaterinDowntown Los Angeles, California, and was broadcast in the U.S. by Fox.[1] Andy Samberg hosted the show for the first time.[2] The nominations were announced on July 16, 2015.[3][4]
The Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony was held on September 12 and was broadcast by FXX on September 19.[5]
The Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards ceremony was held on October 28, 2015 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel.
The ceremony became notable for breaking two major milestones: Game of Thrones set a new record by winning 12 awards, the most for any show in a single year, up to this date (it was also the second HBO show, after The Sopranos, to win the Outstanding Drama Series award), while Viola Davis became the first African-American woman in Emmy history to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as Annalise KeatinginHow to Get Away with Murder.[6][7][8]
This year also saw for the first time, two Streaming service networks win four Acting awards: Netflix, with Uzo AdubainOrange Is the New Black and Reg E. CatheyinHouse of Cards;[9] and Amazon Studios, with Jeffrey Tambor for Transparent and Bradley Whitford[10] for the same show.
The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series went to the HBO political satire Veep, which not only broke Modern Family's five-year hold on the award[11] but became the second time a premium channel won Outstanding Comedy Series (the first was for HBO's romantic comedy Sex and the Cityin2001).[12]
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced new rule changes for the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards. These new rules are:
Winners are listed first, highlighted in boldface, and indicated with a double dagger (‡).[13][14][15][16][a] For simplicity, producers who received nominations for program awards, as well as nominated writers for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series, have been omitted.
