"Downton Abbey" also scores mentions in several key categories, as do newcomers "Girls," "Veep," "New Girl" and "Homeland."

Early Thursday morning, Kerry Washington and Jimmy Kimmel (subbing for a travel-sidelined Nick Offerman) announced the nominees for the 64th annual Primetime Emmys. Early mentions went to Mad Men, Downton Abbey and Homeland, all three of which landed noms for outstanding drama series.

Newcomers Girls and Veep also nabbed a few big mentions, with both HBO series up for outstanding comedy series and stars Lena Dunham and Julia Louis-Dreyfus each up for the lead actress in a comedy category.
