Henson, Poehler, Gyllenhaal and Kimmel will compete for their own Emmy glory. The "Empire" star received her first nomination for Best Actress in a Drama while Poehler hopes her sixth and final nomination for "Parks and Recreation" is the lucky one.
Gyllenhall already won a Golden Globe for her role in the mini-series "The Honourable Woman." Kimmel and his late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" is in a crowded fielded with his 11:35 p.m. cohorts Jimmy Fallon ("The Tonight Show") and the recently-departed David Letterman ("The Late Show") as well as cable competitors "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," "The Colbert Report" and "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver."
