- A number of shows opted to submit only one episode in the writing category to avoid cannibalizing votes--among them? Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Pilot), black-ish (the BLM episode), The Goldbergs (Dirty Dancing), Master of None (Parents), Kimmy Schmidt (finale), The Good Wife (finale), The Leftovers (International Assassin), Horace and Pete (Episode 3), Mr. Robot (pilot),
- Documentary Now! is considered a variety series (more specifically, a "variety sketch series"), not a comedy series, but only Hader is submitted as a lead actor, Armisten is supporting.
- The various Muppet performers are all listed in lead actor for The Muppets.
- Adele is a likely nominee for her Radio City special. A win would leave her just T shy of EGOT.
- You are not a lead, despite being submitted as one: Brett Dalton (Agents of SHIELD), Cuba Gooding, Jr. (American Crime Story), Dianne Wiest (Life in Pieces), Elizabeth Henstridge (Agents of SHIELD), Reshma Shetty (Royal Pains).
- Fred Armisen has 4 separate submissions for guest actor in a comedy (Man Seeking Woman, SNL, Kimmy Schmidt, and Difficult People).
- Long-ish shot nominee who I'm really rooting for? Tovah Feldshuh, Outstanding Guest Actress Comedy.
