Westworld
《西部世界》

Major Nominations: Drama Series; Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Anthony Hopkins); Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Evan Rachel Wood); Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Jeffrey Wright); Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Thandie Newton)

Episode to Watch: "The Bicameral Mind"
觀看劇集：“二分心智”

It's difficult to pick just one episode that illustrates why Westworld earned 22 Emmy nominations, but if we have to choose one, look no further than the Season 1 finale "The Bicameral Mind." In addition to being one of the episodes producers submitted to be considered for a drama series nod, it was also submitted in the directing and lead actress categories. In particular, the episode is a showcase for Wood's performance as Dolores, one of the "hosts" of the mysterious fantasyland.
只挑選一集來說明為什么《西部世界》能獲得22項艾美獎提名真的很難，但是如果我們非得選一集的話，那第一季最后一集“二分心智”則是不二之選。除了這是制片人提交參選最佳劇集獎評選的其中一集之外，它還被呈送參與最佳導(dǎo)演和最佳女主角等獎項的評選。特別是，這一集充分展示了飾演多蘿西的伍德的演技，而多蘿西就是這座神秘的幻想世界的“接待員（主角）”之一。

Feud: Bette and Joan
《宿敵：貝蒂和瓊》

Major Nominations: Limited Series; Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie (Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon); Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie (Judy Davis, Jackie Hoffman); Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie (Alfred Molina, Stanley Tucci)

Episode to Watch: "And the Winner Is..."
觀看劇集：“獲勝者是……”

Travel back to the 1963 Oscars in the fifth episode of Ryan Murphy's exploration of the feud between Joan Crawford (Lange) and Bette Davis (Sarandon), which also received individual nods in the limited series writing and directing categories. The tension between the dramatized versions of Crawford and Davis is deliciously palpable as Joan schemes to steal the spotlight from Bette on Oscars night, despite not receiving a nomination. Fortunately there isn't as much animosity between Sarandon and Lange as they prepare to face off in the limited series lead actress race on Sunday.
在這部劇的第五集中，導(dǎo)演瑞安·墨菲把大家?guī)Щ氐?963年的奧斯卡頒獎典禮，為大家講述了瓊·克勞馥（朗格）以及貝蒂·戴維斯（薩蘭登）的宿怨，而這部劇也獲得了限定劇最佳編劇和最佳導(dǎo)演的提名。在這一集中，克勞馥和戴維斯之間戲劇化的矛盾顯而易見，盡管瓊并沒有獲得提名，但她設(shè)計在奧斯卡頒獎典禮上搶了貝蒂的風(fēng)頭。雖然朗格和薩蘭登準備在星期天爭奪限定劇的最佳女主角，不過幸好她們之間并沒有太多敵意。

Big Little Lies
《大小謊言》

Major Nominations: Limited Series; Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie (Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon); Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie (Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley); Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie (Alexander Skarsgard)

Episode to Watch: "Living the Dream"
觀看劇集：“活在夢中”

With five acting nominations under its belt, not to matter nods for writing, directing and series, Big Little Lies is also difficult to narrow down to just one episode. But "Living the Dream," the third installment in the adaptation of Liane Moriarty's novel, coalesces the dynamic among the four women at the heart of the show. In particular, Dern's desperate, Renata and Witherspoon's maddeningly chirpy, and Madeline shine in this episode, which also sets up the show's central mystery and gives us a horrifying glimpse into the marriage of Celeste (Kidman) and Perry (Skarsgard) as they attend couples counseling.
這部劇獲得了五項表演類提名，即使沒有獲得最佳編劇、導(dǎo)演和電視劇的提名也無所謂了，不過《大小謊言》也很難用一集就講明白這部劇。但是，在這部根據(jù)莉安·莫里亞蒂的小說改編的電視劇的第三集中，也就是“活在夢中”這一集，它把這部劇的四名女主演的動態(tài)結(jié)合在了一起。特別是，這一集體現(xiàn)了鄧恩的絕望、勒娜塔和威瑟斯彭讓人受不了的活潑以及瑪?shù)铝盏某霰?，還給出了這部劇的重要謎題，并在塞萊斯特（基德曼）和佩里（斯卡斯加德）進行婚姻咨詢的時候，讓我們了解到他們可怕的婚姻。

This Is Us
《我們這一天》

Major Nominations: Drama Series; Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Sterling K. Brown, Milo Ventimiglia); Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Ron Cephas Jones); Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Chrissy Metz)

Episode to Watch: "Memphis"
觀看劇集：“孟菲斯”

Though most of this year's major Emmy nominees require some sort of subscription service, there's no excuse if you've yet to watch This Is Us. NBC's breakout drama hit -- the only broadcast show to earn a drama series nod this year -- was a standout among last season's crop of freshman shows and received 11 nominations total. "Memphis" is pretty universally acknowledged as Season 1's best episode, especially for the chemistry between fictional father-son duo Randall (Brown) and William (Jones). Make sure you have your tissues handy. You'll have to choose a different episode (we'd suggest the pilot) to check out Metz and Ventimiglia's acting chops, but while "Memphis" features a limited perspective, it proves why This Is Us has struck a chord with so many.
雖然今年艾美獎提名的多數(shù)電視劇都需要一些訂閱服務(wù)（也就是付費觀看），但這不是你沒看過《我們這一天》這部劇的借口。美國全國廣播公司（NBC）的大熱劇，今年該公司唯一一部獲得最佳劇集獎提名的電視劇，從上一季大批新劇中脫穎而出，共獲得了11項提名。人們普遍認為“孟菲斯”是第一季中最棒的一集，特別是蘭德爾（布朗）和威廉（瓊斯）父子之間戲劇般的化學(xué)反應(yīng)。觀看之前一定要備好紙巾。要檢驗一下梅茨和文蒂米利亞的演技，你得再選一集（我們推薦試播集）。雖然“孟菲斯”這一集的視角有限，但它說明了為什么《我們這一天》會引起那么多人的共鳴。

The Handmaid's Tale
《使女的故事》

Major Nominations: Drama Series; Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Elisabeth Moss); Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Ann Dowd, Samira Wiley)

Episode to Watch: "Night"
觀看劇集：“夜”

If there's anything that can be considered a "shoo-in" at Sunday's Emmy Awards, it is Elisabeth Moss' well-deserved win in the drama lead actress category for her tour de force performance in the Handmaid's Tale. Spoiler-phobes may not want to jump straight to the Season 1 finale, but not only does it highlight the full range of Moss' excellent performance, it's the episode supporting actress nominee Samira Wiley submitted for consideration as well.
如果說有哪項提名可被視為在星期天的艾美獎頒獎典禮上“穩(wěn)操勝券”的話，那就是伊麗莎白·莫斯的最佳女主角提名了。她因在《使女的故事》中的絕佳表演而獲得提名，可以說是當之無愧的最佳女主角。討厭劇透的人可能不愿意直接跳到第一季的最后一集，但是這一集不僅突出了莫斯全方位的精彩表演，而且也是被提名為最佳女配角的薩米拉·威利提交參與評選的一集。

6

The Night Of
《罪夜之奔》

Major Nominations: Limited Series; Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie (Riz Ahmed, John Turturro); Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie (Bill Camp, Michael K. Williams)

Episode to Watch: "The Art of War"
觀看劇集：“戰(zhàn)爭的藝術(shù)”

"The Art of War", the fourth episode of the limited series, ramps up the “friendship” between Naz (Ahmed) and his prison buddy/mentor Freddy (Williams). The Night Of originally aired way back at the beginning of the year, so even for viewers who are looking to get a refresher before the Emmys, this is a great episode to revisit.
“戰(zhàn)爭的藝術(shù)”，這部限定劇的第四集，讓納茲（阿邁德）和他的獄友兼導(dǎo)師弗雷迪（威廉姆斯）之間的“友誼”升溫?！蹲镆怪肌愤@部劇在老早之前，也就是今年年初就開播了，所以就是那些想要在艾美獎頒獎典禮之前重溫一遍的觀眾，這一集也是您進行回顧的最佳劇集。

Veep
《副總統(tǒng)》

Major Nominations: Comedy Series; Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Julia Louis-Dreyfus); Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Anna Chlumsky); Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Tony Hale, Matt Walsh)

Episode to Watch: "Groundbreaking"
觀看劇集：“奠基儀式”

Will the Emmys' love for Veep continue this year? The long-running series is seeking a three-peat in the outstanding comedy category after winning the past two years, and Louis-Dreyfus may take home her sixth trophy for her portrayal of Selina Meyer, a politician whose incompetence makes her endearing. "Groundbreaking" was the Season 6 finale chronicles Selina's political career through the years in flashbacks, as she and her present-day team prepare for the groundbreaking of what will be her library. And it provides the perfect launching pad for what will be the show's seventh and final season.
艾美獎今年還會繼續(xù)寵愛《副總統(tǒng)》嗎？在過去的兩年中連續(xù)兩次贏得艾美獎之后，這部長篇電視劇正試圖獲得喜劇類最佳劇集獎的三連冠，而路易斯·德利法斯可能會因為她所飾演的瑟琳娜·梅耶這個角色而收獲她的第六座獎杯。瑟琳娜·梅耶是一位政客，而她的無能卻使她討人喜歡。“奠基儀式”這一集是這部劇第六季的最后一集，回顧了賽琳娜這幾年的政治生涯，同時她和她現(xiàn)在的團隊準備為她的圖書館啟動奠基儀式。而且這一集也為這部劇的第七季，也就是最后一季，準備了一個完美的啟動平臺。

8

House of Cards
《紙牌屋》

Major Nominations: Drama Series; Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Kevin Spacey); Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Robin Wright); Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Michael Kelly)

Episode to Watch: "Chapter 65"
觀看劇集：“第65章”

House of Cards is a long shot to take home any prizes in the acting categories this year. But the Season 5 finale takes Frank and Claire Underwood's (Spacey and Wright) Machiavellian quest for absolute power to new heights -- and proves why Kelly, who was upped from a guest actor to supporting actor this year -- completely deserved his nod.
《紙牌屋》是獲得今年表演類所有獎項提名的一部長篇劇集。不過在第五季最后一集中，弗蘭克·安德伍德和克萊爾·安德伍德（斯佩西和萊特）通過不擇手段的方式使他們的絕對權(quán)力達到了新的高度，而這一集也說明了為什么凱利會從一位客串演員被提名為今年的最佳男配角，也證明了他獲得提名是名副其實的。

9

Stranger Things
《怪奇物語》

Major Nominations: Drama Series; Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (David Harbour); Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Millie Bobby Brown)

Episode to Watch: "The Bathtub"
觀看劇集：“浴缸”

Arguably the most buzzed-about show of 2017, Netflix's Stranger Things is the runaway favorite to take home the drama series award, especially after it took home the casting award at the Creative Arts Emmys last weekend. Brown could also become the youngest Emmy winner ever as a long-shot contender for drama supporting actress. See what all the fuss over the teen star and the show itself is about with "The Bathtub," the penultimate Season 1 episode in which Brown's Eleven ventures into the "Upside Down" to look for the missing boy Will. In addition to Brown's understated performance, the episode is representative of all the elements of the show that captured viewers' hearts and minds: supernatural creepiness, '80s nostalgia, kids working together to catch some bad guys, and of course, a killer soundtrack.
奈飛公司推出的《怪奇物語》可以說是2017年最受關(guān)注的一部劇，也是輕而易舉就能獲得最佳劇集獎的一部劇了。特別是，在上周末舉辦的創(chuàng)意艾美獎頒獎典禮上，這部劇還獲得了最佳演員陣容獎。作為連續(xù)劇最佳女配角的爭奪者，布朗也許還會成為有史以來最年輕的艾美獎獲得者。要了解這位童星在劇中所煩惱的一切以及這部劇，那就要去看看“浴缸”這一集。在第一季的倒數(shù)第二集中，布朗所飾演的十一冒險進入了“逆世界”，去尋找失蹤的男孩威爾。除了布朗樸素的表演，這一集還包含了這部劇能夠俘獲人心的所有要素：令人毛骨悚然的超自然力量、關(guān)于80年代的懷舊之情、孩子們合作抓壞人，當然，還有精彩的配樂。

The Crown
《王冠》

Major Nominations: Drama Series; Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Claire Foy); Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (John Lithgow)

Episode to Watch: "Assassins"
觀看劇集：“刺客”

"Assassins", the ninth episode of Season 1, features Winston Churchill (Lithgow) announcing his resignation and having his portrait painted for his 80th birthday, as well as Queen Elizabeth (Foy) growing increasingly distant from her husband Philip. In particular, Lithgow embodies Churchill in a way we haven't seen before, in what may prove to be a career-defining performance. Foy, meanwhile, will be looking to take home her second award after winning a Golden Globe this year.
“刺客”，也就是第一季的第九集，講述了溫斯頓·邱吉爾（利思戈）宣布辭職，并為他的80歲生日準備了肖像畫，而女王伊麗莎白（福伊）則與她的丈夫菲利普越來越疏遠。特別是，利思戈用前所未有的方式演繹了邱吉爾，這也許可以說是他演藝生涯的巔峰之作了。與此同時，在贏得了今年的金球獎之后，福伊將期待著收獲她的第二項大獎。
