Well, this is a shocker: “American Horror Story” has tied “Mad Men” to lead the nominees for 2012 Emmys with 17 nominations each. It did so in the category of “Miniseries or Movie” rather than “Drama Series”, but we’ll take it. Read on to learn what other genre shows are in the running – yes, “The Walking Dead” makes an appearance!

For the full rundown of all the talented nominees, visit the official Emmys website, and be sure to watch the live broadcast of the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards on ABC on Sunday, September 23rd, at 7:00 PM ET/4:00 PM PT.
