Netflix' series House of Cards and Arrested Development both gathered several major Emmy nominations during Thursday morning's announcement of the 65th annual Awards.

House of Cards (Netflix link), the Kevin Spacey-helmed political drama, did particularly well, gathering nominations in major categories such as best drama, best lead actor in a drama (Spacey), best lead actress in a drama (Robin Wright), and outstanding directing for a drama series (David Fincher).

The fourth season of Arrested Development (Netflix link), reborn on Netflix after its initial run on Fox, grabbed three nominations including a nod towards Jason Batemen for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series.

They brought the term "never nude" into our lives, and now
may mark a sea-change in TV history.
