Did cops or housewives make the list this year? See which of your favorite TV stars and shows are in the running for an Emmy!

Four out of the five Best Actress in a Drama nods went to actresses who play hard-core law enforcers--Mariska Hargitay, Holly Hunter and Kyra Sedgwick play detectives and Glenn Close plays a lawyer. Sally Field is the only housewife on the list...so things could get interesting. 

As for the comedy actresses, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Mary-Louise Parker play moms, but Tina Fey, America Ferrera and Christina Applegate play childless characters. All of the characters are single...hmmm... we wonder what that means.

The shows with the most nods are: HBO's John Adams with 23 nominations, NBC's 30 Rock with 17 and AMC's Mad Men has 16 nominations. Check out our gallery of real-life moms who made the cut, and see below for a more extended list...
