Our fingers and toed will be crossed until Thursday morning.

Why? Because that's when the 2016 Emmy nominees will finally be revealed, and we're keeping our appendages for a small group of stars and shows in the hopes that they will receive very good news along with their coffee.

We've assembled a list of 29 underdogs fighting for a nomination, ranging from the high brow (The Americans!) to the, um, lower brow (The Bachelor?! Yep, we went there!) to the ridiculously underrated and overlooked (Grant Gustin, unREAL, Allison Williams, and You're the Worst, anyone?)

So click through our new gallery below to find out which actors and series whose snubs we're already annoyed over/we'll be chanting "YASSS!" over if their names are called on Thursday morning. And make sure you are checking back with us all week for all your 2016 Emmys coverage.
