"Angels in America," the surreal HBO miniseries adapted from a Pulitzer Prize-winning play about New Yorkers affected by the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, received a leading 21 Emmy nominations Thursday.
"The Sopranos" was the leading nominee among series competitors, with 20 bids.
In a year that saw changes in Emmy rules intended to broaden the field beyond familiar nominees, newcomers included Fox's critically acclaimed sitcom "Arrested Development" and CBS' drama "Joan of Arcadia."
TV Academy members gave a fond farewell to HBO's "Sex and the City" with a best comedy series nod for its final season, but didn't nominate two other departing series, "Friends" and "Frasier."
Joining "Arrested Development" and "Sex and the City" in the best comedy series category are "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Will and Grace" and last year's winner, "Everybody Loves Raymond."
Along with "The Sopranos," which has yet to win a best drama series award, and "Joan of Arcadia," other nominees in the best drama series category include "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "24," and "The West Wing." The White House drama was last year's winner.
Some of the acting nominees are James Gandolfini, the late John Ritter, Kelsey Grammer, Matt LeBlanc, James Spader, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner and Edie Falco.
Emmy winners Edie Falco and Tony Shalhoub announced the nominations from the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in Los Angeles
