Bloomberg: Amazon.com earned its first Emmy nomination for the critically praised transgender comedy “Transparent,” as streaming video services scored their biggest haul in the race for TV’s top honors. Netflix, which has already won Emmys for “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black,” captured nominations for those programs, as well as new ones “Bloodline” and “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” The two Internet companies garnered nominations in major categories and 46 in total, the latest sign of the growing clout of Web-based TV. “The pie is getting bigger, and Amazon, Netflix and Hulu are important players.”
