We couldn’t love and trust one another more, after holding on for dear life through the snow, finding our way in the dark. Being part of the True Detective family with Issa López as our fearless leader is the gift that keeps on giving.”

Issa López, the showrunner and director ofTrue Detective: Night Country, also spoke out in a statement following the announcement.

“I’m still pinching myself over this huge honor," she wrote. "All those nominations, for so many people I grew to love so much. We all made Night Country for fun, and from our belief that other voices deserve their share of the screen. It was amazing that HBO gave me the chance to take this big swing, and that alone was all the joy in the world. But then we got this incredible recognition. As an immigrant filmmaker, to have my first venture in the English language receive such appreciation is a dream (a wild one!) come true.”

John Hawkes released his own statement as well.

Alex Edelman: Just For Us

Alex Edelman shared a sweet, lengthy reaction to his nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special for his debut HBO comedy special, Alex Edelman: Just For Us. In addition to expressing his thanks for the recognition, Edelman remembered the show's late director and his "closest friend" Adam Brace in a statement.

“Wow. Everyone in this category - including the Oscars - performed at the Cake Shop open mic on the Lower East Side in November of 2013, so I cannot believe that eleven years later we all get to be nominated together," he said. "I’ll never forget Jacq’s great french fry stuff and the Oscars’ really interesting material about George W. Bush. I’m so honored to be amongst them. I owe thanks to the countless people who guided me through this process like a millipede through a minefield: my crew on Broadway, the producers of the show - which include fellow nominee and my unpaid therapist Mike Birbiglia - Alex Timbers, who directed a special I am so proud of and made every single moment of this process a joy, the brilliant editor Kelly Lyons, even though she cut out all of my scenes with The Rock (sad!)."

He continued: "To HBO and MAX? I could not appreciate all the faith and support you put behind this more. And thanks for The Larry Sanders Show. It rules. I also want to acknowledge my closest friend and longtime collaborator Adam Brace, who passed a few weeks before our show started on Broadway. He’d be thrilled and probably a little bit cider-drinking about this. I miss him every day and thought of him all morning."

"Finally, I want to thank the audiences who came to see my show and who watched it on HBO. Whether you sat in a cramped room in a Greek Cultural Center in Australia, a room behind a pub in London, the Hudson Theater on Broadway or your living room couch in Boston, this wouldn’t have happened without you coming to watch and telling other people," the statement concluded. "It’s been a six year journey. And what a nice denouement. Can you believe it?”

The Gilded Age

Outstanding Drama Series nominee The Gilded Age got one more shoutout in Wednesday's Emmy nomination announcement. Carrie Coon is up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her part in the show — her second Emmy nomination ever.

"Today is especially gratifying because The Gilded Age returned to production last week for a season three that exists only because so many people watch and love the show, and I want to thank our champions at HBO for giving us another round," she wrote in a statement. "Congratulations to our queen, Christine and the entire cast; to Sean Flannigan and our hair department; Kasia Walicka-Maimone and her team in Costumes; Bob Shaw, our production designer and previous champ; and especially our astonishing New York crew, almost all of whom have returned to us after 18 months dark. Bertha is created by the one and only Julian Fellowes and the indispensable Sonja Warfield, but she wouldn’t exist without Nicki Ledermann (make-up), Christine Harlan (hair) and Amber Augone (dresser). And of course, I thank the incomparable Morgan Spector, my dearest, most painfully handsome friend, true feminist, joyful scene partner, and the love of my fake TV life."

"It’s also a special day because my parents and one of my brothers and his family are visiting, and they did not have His & Hers Emmy nominations on their Westchester vacation bingo cards. Tracy and I will celebrate with a bland dinner palatable to small children and an early bedtime," she jokingly concluded.

Top Chef

Famed cooking show Top Chef received two nominations, including Outstanding Reality Competition Program. Host Kristen Kish reacted to her first ever Emmy nomination for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program in an enthusiastic statement.

I’m so honored to be nominated among some of the greats for an Emmy for Someday You’ll Die, especially since most of the material in this special is based on thoughts and feelings I once thought I would have to take to the grave," she shared. "I’m so grateful for the support of HBO and my entire producing team who made my jokes feel more important than they ever have. Standup is usually such a solitary pursuit and for the first time with a comedy special in my career, I felt that this was a team effort. I have the coolest job and it keeps getting cooler."
