Lee Pace was incredible in season four of "Halt and Catch Fire," but a nomination is unlikely in the competitive Best Actor in a Drama Series category.

The Emmy ballots are out. In 2018, there are 728 TV shows on the ballot and a daunting 2,372 performances. Members of the Television Academy have until June 26 to vote.

With so many shows and performances in the running, a lot of them won't get the recognition they deserve, even some of the year's best in TV. The slew of contenders especially doesn't help shows in the drama category with "Game of Thrones" season seven being eligible this year. (It was excluded from the ceremony last year because the season premiered after voting already closed).

Award show favorites including "The Handmaid's Tale," "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," "Atlanta," and "Westworld" are all in the running in addition to "Game of Thrones" this year, which means that some of the lesser-known gems might miss out on deserved nominations. We picked a few of the best.

Nominations are announced July 12 and the Emmy ceremony, hosted by Colin Jost and Michael Che, airs September 17.
