Matthew McConaughey is "honoured" to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.
The 44-year-old actor - who has picked up a string of prizes this year, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe - will contend for the dramatic actor prize at next month's ceremony and is flattered to be included in a category which also includes his 'True Detective' co-star Woody Harrelson, 'Breaking Bad' actor Bryan Cranston, Jeff Daniels ('The Newsroom'), Kevin Spacey ('House of Cards'), and Jon Hamm ('Mad Men').
He said in a statement: "I am honoured to be nominated with such a talented field of actors. This is a tremendous category filled with some riveting performances. Thank you for this recognition."
Jimmy Fallon is up for two awards, Outstanding Variety Series and Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, for 'The Tonight Show' and 'Saturday Night Live' respectively, and joked the nominations had given him an excuse to celebrate.
He said: "So happy to be nominated for an Emmy this morning. And even happier to have an excuse for the champagne I was already drinking at 9am."
'Mad Men' star Christina Hendricks wasn't only grateful for her own nomination, for supporting actress in a drama, but for the other nods the show received.
She said: "I am so grateful to the Academy for the incredible amount of support shown for 'Mad Men'. To be nominated is a huge honour and I am thrilled that the show itself has been highlighted in so many other areas as well. I am so thankful."
And Lena Dunham paid tribute to her fellow nominees in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category, which includes 'Veep' star Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Edie Falco from 'Nurse Jackie', 'Mike & Molly' actress Melissa McCarthy, Amy Poehler from 'Parks and Recreation' and 'Orange Is the New Black's Taylor Schilling.
She said: "It's an honour to be recognised with this incredible group of fierce and funny women. This list of nominees would also be the list for the best dinner party in history. Many thanks to the academy and to HBO."

Ellen DeGeneres thinks Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes will have the "most beautiful" baby ever.
The talk show host has congratulated the couple - who will reportedly welcome their first child into the world in two months time - on the actress' pregnancy and is looking forward to seeing their offspring.
She tweeted: "'Congrats to @RyanGosling and @EvaMendes! That's going to be the most beautiful, bilingual, part-superhero, well-dressed, romantic baby ever. (sic)"
Though the couple haven't confirmed the pregnancy, they are said to be thrilled, particularly 40-year-old Eva who has wanted a child for some time.
A source said: "She's been ready for motherhood for a while now and to be sharing this experience with Ryan is a dream come true for her!"
While the 33-year-old actor - who has been dating his 'Place Beyond the Pines' co-star for three years - is said to be fully committed to the relationship, he doesn't share his girlfriend's desire to settle down and get married.
A source said: "Ryan grew up without a dad, so he always said when he had kids, he'd be there no matter what.
"This is it for him."
Another source added: "Ryan doesn't think they need to marry just because they are having a baby but Eva believes it's important to have their lives fully intertwined."

Demi Lovato is backing a campaign to support equal marriage rights.
The 21-year-old singer-and-actress - who is an avid supporter of equality for the LGBT community - has asked Americans to "stand up for what's right" and end discrimination of same-sex couples.
In an e-mail sent out by the 'Americans for Marriage Equality' campaign, Demi wrote: "My generation knows that it's wrong to tell two people in love they can't get married, simply because of who they love.
"We've got to stand up for what's right and let our voices be heard if we want to put an end to marriage discrimination. The America I know and love values everyone, and that includes the LGBT community."
The 'Warrior' singer also recorded a video to support the campaign, in which she said allowing same sex couples to marry would "strengthen the institution of marriage".
Demi said: "I believe that love comes in all different shapes, sizes and colours. So whether you're LGBT or straight, your love is valid, beautiful and an incredible gift.
"So let's protect them and strengthen the institution of marriage by allowing loving, caring and committed same sex couples to legally marry."
In America, 31 states still do not allow couples of the same sex to marry.
Demi - whose new track 'Really Don't Care' was filmed at Los Angeles Pride - asked the public to back the campaign via an online petition.

Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino is being sued by his lawyer.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star and his brother Marc Sorrentino allegedly owe Richard Wolfe $29,000 in unpaid legal fees from 2009 to 2013 and the attorney has filed a legal complaint to obtain the money back.
According to the lawsuit, which has been obtained by website TMZ, the brothers managed to pay off $10,000 of their bill but have made failed attempts to pay the remainder, including with a $2,000 cheque which bounced and another for the same amount which was cancelled.
The lawyer is seeking the $29,000, plus damages for the bad cheques.
The legal row comes weeks after police were called over unpaid wages to the reality star's tanning shop employees.
Four staff members from Boca Tanning Club in Middletown, New Jersey alleged their paycheques had bounced and each employee was owed between $100 and $200.
However, after officers spoke to The Situation's brother Frank and warned criminal charges could be filed, the disgruntled employees received all the money they were owed.
Insiders insisted at the time there had been an "innocent mix-up" because the store changed payroll companies.

Kendra Wilkinson plans to discuss her marital troubles on her reality show.
The former 'Girls Next Door' star is reportedly set to follow in Tori Spelling's footsteps by covering the scandalous breakdown of her relationship with her husband Hank Baskett on her TV show, 'Kendra on Top'.
The former NFL star is alleged to have cheated on Kendra - with whom he has children Hank IV, five, and Alijah, two months - with a transsexual model called Ava Sabrina London when she was eight months pregnant with their daughter.
A spokesperson for WE TV confirmed to Us Weekly magazine: "We are currently in production on season 3 of 'Kendra on Top'. And yes, we are covering her reality."
Producers apparently arranged a counselling session for the ex-Playboy model and Hank so they could vent their frustrations, during which things went from bad to worse.
The insider said: "Kendra was crying and Hank was kind of being a jerk, looking very p***ed. She was talking divorce."
Meanwhile, Kendra's ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner has allegedly reached out to her, offering his support.
This comes just a few months after former 'Beverly Hills 90210' actress Tori aired her heartbreak for the world to see in the wake of her husband Dean McDermott cheating on her last December.

Justin Theroux says his relationship with Jennifer Aniston "doesn't feel difficult".
The 42-year-old actor is engaged to the 'Friends' actress and admits that he doesn't understand reports that say they don't have a smooth relationship because of the time they spend apart.
He said: "It doesn't feel like a hardship, it doesn't feel difficult."
'The Leftovers' star can't understand why people are so desperate to know about their relationship and thinks it's bizarre that paparazzi are willing to do anything to get a picture of them together.
Justin told the latest issue of Details magazine: "It can be an annoyance, but it's not the end of the world.
"You have to centre on what its core thing is, which is that you met someone you fell in love with. It's hard to explain. I just find myself wondering, 'What's the big f**king deal?"
Justin - who met Jennifer on the set of their 2012 film 'Wanderlust' - also revealed that he feels as though he's better off not speaking about their relationship at all because what's printed is "always based on fiction".
He continued: "You just kind of ignore it but then you also become reluctant to say anything about the relationship.
"I could say, 'Everything's good', and then it's reflected back as, 'JUSTIN THEROUX: EVERYTHING'S GOOD?' That just creates this echo chamber, and it ricochets around the internet, it just gets wacky."

The makers of a Michael Jackson documentary are seeking an injunction against the late star's estate.
Noval Williams Films have filed documents in Manhattan Supreme Court after the estate tried to block the sale and release of 'Michael Jackson: The Last Photo Shoot' with a cease-and-desist order over the use of footage in the film.
The estate had claimed the company do not have rights to use behind-the-scenes photos and videos of Jackson's 2007 cover shoots for Ebony and L'Uomo Vogue, but Noval Williams insisted in a previous lawsuit they do own the rights and the legal motion against them has impeded the sale of the documentary.
A new injunction would require the estate to respond within 21 days to help speed up the process.
A lawyer acting for the estate insists "private moments" of the 'Thriller' singer - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - are being exploited in the documentary.
Lawyer Howard Weitzman said: "The makers of the documentary are attempting to exploit footage and photographs of [Michael], which we believe are owned by his estate. The documentary contains . . . private moments that he never agreed could be publicly and commercially exploited without his consent and/or involvement."
It is believed the Jackson family were offered the chance to purchase the rights to the video but passed up the opportunity before the director decided to buy the footage in May last year.

Courtney Love couldn't live without sex.
The Hole rocker - who has 21-year-old daughter Frances with late husband Kurt Cobain - enjoys getting intimate with other people and says lovemaking is top of her list of obsessions.
In a piece for XOJane entitled '50 Obsessions I Couldn't Live Without on my 50th Birthday', she wrote: "Let's start with my favourite. And that would be: Sex. Obviously."
The 'Doll Parts' hitmaker - who was recently pictured locking lips with model Amber Rose - also admitted she is a big fan of kissing.
At number 27 on her list, she wrote: "Epic kisses. Girls count!"
Courtney has famously feuded with a number of stars in the past, including Kurt's former Nirvana bandmates - who she made peace with at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in May - and Marilyn Manson, but she insists she no longer bares grudges.
Writing that "forgiveness" is another obsession, she added: "I'm 50, and I don't care what you said two years ago or yesterday. It's all good."
However, the outspoken blonde suggested people should still think twice about upsetting her.
She also wrote on the list: "Keeping people scared. Hell hath no fury like me!"
Other obsessions Courtney admitted to were "naughty words", "real estate shopping", "chanting", "acupuncture", and her artist daughter.
Of Frances she wrote: "My proudest accomplishment always makes me prouder. Her artwork is phenomenal, too."
