Other surprising nominations are from Netflix shows which include John Lithgow and Claire Foy from "The Crown" and Winona Ryder of "Stranger Things."

What many view as the best comedy series of today, "Orange is the New Black" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt did not came up in the list of nominees as well.
