For the first time ever, Doctor Who has joined the race for this year’s Emmy nominations! Peter Capaldi is on the lead actor ballot; showrunner Steven Moffat and director Rachel Talalay are on the writing and directing ballots for the episode “Heaven Sent”; and the series is a possible nominee for costumes, production design, prosthetic makeup, and visual effects.
There is some stiff competition and voting is not open to the general public but if you or your parent/friend/neighbor/dog are a registered Emmy voter, we’d encourage you to vote for Doctor Who. Otherwise, voting closes on June 27th so check back next week to see if Peter, Steven, and Rachel have received their nominations!
