What to look for at the 2015 Emmy nominations

Some of the biggest stars in television will find out Thursday morning if they are on the receiving end of an Emmy nomination.

Nominees for the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards will be unveiled Thursday at 11:30 a.m. ET -- a later start-time than the typical slot. The West Coast folks now won't have to wake up at the crack of dawn to find out if they're nominated.

"Orange Is the New Black" star Uzo Aduba and Cat Deely of "So You Think You Can Dance" are slated to announce this year's nominees.

Emmy watchers will likely be keeping a close eye on Fox's new hit show, "Empire."

And it's the last hurrah for "Mad Men." Will the series get an Emmy send-off? Will Jon Hamm finally walk away with an Emmy. He's been nominated a whopping seven times and has never won.

Also, expect to see a couple of more TV series up for drama and comedy. Both categories are going from six to seven nominees this year.

And will we see a bigger showing from streaming series such as "Orange Is the New Black," "Transparent" and "House of Cards"?

Series and acting performances are Emmy-eligible if they aired between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015.

Emmy winners will be announced on Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. ET in a ceremony airing live from Los Angeles on Fox. This year's host, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Andy Samberg, promises for a wild ride. "Buckle your seat belts, Emmy viewers!" he said in a statement.
