Congratulations to the 2015 Emmy Nominees!

The Emmy nominations are out!  We swear that television just keeps getting better and better, and there was so much standout work done this season that it had to be a difficult job to winnow down to the nominees!  (We are especially happy to see that 15 of 18 female nominees are over 35; there are some great women’s roles out there right now!).  Our favorite categories, of course, have to deal with costumes, makeup and hair. Here are the 2015 Emmy Nominees in those categories!
