broadcast didn't do very well

The 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on July 16 and HBO’s “Game of Thrones” received the most nominations.
It looks like "Olive Kitteridge" is the best show that I have never heard about.

Then there is
Best Comedy nominees like “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” & “Modern Family” where the lead actor or actress is not nominated.
Best Drama nominees like “Downton Abbey” & “Game of Thrones” & “Orange is the New Black” where the lead actor or actress is not nominated.

How can “Silicon Valley” be nominated as best comedy with no acting nominations? Is it best comic scenary?

The nominees are below:
