Emilia Clarke (Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, "Game of Thrones"): "Wow! It is such a huge honor to be recognized by the Academy and to be among such a brilliant group of women. I am thrilled for Peter, Diana, David and Dan, HBO and the entire cast and crew of 'Game of Thrones.' I can't begin to tell you how proud I am to go to work every day with this incredible team who has become a second family. I am so grateful to David and Dan for taking a chance on me and giving me the privilege of being the mother of dragons.

Yer chomoe anhaan. Jin ha Khalaan, shekh ma shieraki anni. (That's 'You do honor to me. This is for the Khal - my sun and stars' in Dothraki.)"

Merritt Wever (Outstanding  Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, "Nurse Jackie"): "I'm really honored to be nominated and very happy to see Edie and Bobby recognized. I'm so grateful for 'Nurse Jackie.'"

Bryan Cranston (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, "Breaking Bad"); "Taking nothing for granted, this Emmy nomination – and that of my fellow 'Breaking Bad' family, is as sweet as ever. I'm very grateful for the recognition."

Sigourney Weaver (Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie, "Political Animals"): "Such great news to wake up to. I am thrilled that 'Political Animals' is nominated for Outstanding Miniseries and that Greg Berlanti's compelling vision of Elaine Barrish Hammond and what women bring to the political process continues to be recognized. I am dancing on the table for Ellen Burstyn who rocked that role. And I am very touched and honored that my work as Elaine is nominated. It means so much to me.  Thank you to the academy and thank you so much to USA who championed our show."

Tim Gunn (Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program): "It is still a bit surreal but I am thrilled and honored to be nominated alongside Heidi and the show.

Ryan Seacrest (Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program, "American Idol"): "I'm grateful and honored to be nominated for my work on 'American Idol.' But I would be remiss if I didn't say that I share this nod with the countless people involved with the show – all the judges, contestants, producers, crew and everyone at Fox. It's been a continuous collaboration for 12 seasons -- soon to be 13 --and I'm just happy to be a part of it."
