'People v. O.J. Simpson,' 'Game of Thrones' lead Emmy **minations

LOS ANGELES: "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story," a TV mini-****** exploring racial tensions that strained the criminal justice system 20 years before Black Lives Matter, dominated the Primetime Emmy **minations on Thursday along with HBO's medieval fantasy "Game of Thrones."

The 10-part drama on basic-cable channel FX chronicling the sensational, polarizing murder trial of O.J. Simpson in 1995 earned 22 **minations in all, including best limited ****** and best actor for Cuba Gooding Jr.'s title role as the disgraced former football star.

"The People v. O.J." viewed Simpson's trial through the prism of racial politics gripping the nation in the aftermath of the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King by white policemen in Los Angeles.

The show aired against a contemporary backdrop of rising tensions between mi**rity communities and law enforcement over a ****** of killings of unarmed black men at the hands of police in cities across the country, giving rise to the Black Lives Matter protest movement.

"Game of Thrones" led Emmy contenders with 23 **minations overall, including **ds for best drama ******, two for best supporting actor and three for best supporting actress.

The hit show, based on George R.R. Martin's fantasy **vel ****** "A Song of Ice and Fire," was named outstanding drama ****** at last year's Emmy Awards.

Rounding out the best drama race are Showtime's CIA thriller "Homeland," FX's Cold War espionage saga "The Americans," AMC's quirky legal story "Better Call Saul," Netflix's political mystery "House of Cards," the final season of PBS's period melodrama "Downton Abbey" and USA Network's freshman cyberhacking drama "Mr. Robot."

TV FINDS HOME FOR DIVERSITY

Thursday's Emmy **minees showcased a more diverse crop of talent in television than in Hollywood's film industry, which drew sharp criticism this year when all 20 performers **minated for Oscars were white for a second consecutive year.

African-American actor Anthony Anderson, who co-hosted the Emmy **mination an**uncements, shouted with joy as he was named a contender for best comedy actor in the ABC sitcom "black-ish."

Other **minees included Indian-American Aziz Ansari for his debut Netflix comedy "Master of **ne," Egyptian-American Rami Malek for "Mr. Robot" and black actresses Taraji P. Henson for Fox's hip-hop ****** "Empire" and Viola Davis in ABC's thriller "How to Get Away with Murder."

Premium cable outlet HBO, a perennial powerhouse of Emmy-lauded programming, again led all networks in **minations with 94 mentions in total. FX Networks was **. 2 with 56 **ds, including 18 for crime drama "Fargo" in the mini-****** category.

Online streaming networks also fared well. Netflix garnered 54 **minations, six of them for its 10-part documentary ****** "Making a Murderer." Amazon Studios scored 16 **minations, including 10 for its transgender comedy "Transparent."

HBO's political satire "Veep" led the comedy race with 17 **minations, including a **d for best actress for Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Its competition, in addition to "black-ish," "Master of **ne" and "Transparent," includes HBO's "Silicon Valley," ABC's "Modern Family" and Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

Among the shows snubbed by Emmy voters in major categories this year was the Netflix prison dramedy "Orange is the New Black" and "The Good Wife," a usual Emmy favorite that just ended its seven-year CBS run.

Winners of the Emmy Awards, voted on by the 20,000-plus members of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, will be presented Sept. 18 at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
