Henson ("Hidden Figures") are pitted against each other for Best Actor in a Movie. Meanwhile, nominees for Best Actor in a Show are Donald Glover ("Atlanta"), Emilia Clarke ("Game of Thrones"), Gina Rodriguez ("Jane the Virgin"), Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("The Walking Dead", Mandy Moore ("This Is Us") and Millie Bobby Brown ("Stranger Things"). "Get Out" and "Beauty and the Beast" are nominated for Movie of the Year along with coming-of-age dramedy "The Edge of Seventeen", third Wolverine solo movie "Logan" and the first installment of "Star Wars" anthology story "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". Netflix's "Stranger Things" is up for Show of the Year. It is pitted against FX's "Atlanta", HBO's "Game of Thrones", NBC's "This Is Us", Freeform's "Pretty Little Liars" and HBO's "Insecure".
