Television’s biggest night of the year is only two months away and anticipation is building as the Emmy nominees were announced this morning. Good news, all your favorite Jewish shows and actors were nominated!
Jeffrey Tambor (“Transparent”), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”) and even Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” all got nods. Joining them is funny woman Amy Schumer (our favorite!) for season four of Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer” and Liev Schreiber for “Ray Donovan.”
What we wouldn’t give for one of the “Game of Thrones” dragons to be Jewish, they would pick up every award!

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover. All donations are being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
