Thirty-six actors and actresses earned Primetime Emmy nominations on Thursday for work they did in front of the camera.
The new performance-category faces include TV veterans, such as late-night host James Corden and "Saturday Night Live" fixtures Aidy Bryant and Kenan Thompson, who all had nominations in off-camera roles in previous years. (Likewise, many of these other first-timers have been Emmy-nominated before for non-performer categories.)
Rising stars Issa Rae ("Insecure"), Tiffany Haddish ("SNL") and Yvonne Strahovski ("The Handmaid's Tale") also received recognition, as did Strahovsi's costar and onscreen husband, Joseph Fiennes.
Meanwhile, "Game of Thrones" actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (a.k.a. Jaime Lannister), "The Crown" royals Matt Smith and Vanessa Kirby and "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" stars Darren Criss, Ricky Martin and Penelope Cruz are also in the running for acting awards alongside several costars who've been nominated in performance categories before.
Musician John Legend, who already has several Grammys, an Oscar and a Tony Award, was nominated for NBC's "Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert," putting him in the running for lofty EGOT status if he wins. His "Jesus Christ Superstar" costars Sara Bareilles and Brandon Victor Dixon also received their first Emmy nods.
