Gatorade and Snickers are Emmy nominees for a second straight year, as five spots were announced Thursday as contenders for the 2016 Emmy Award for Best Commercial.

Gatorade is a nominee for "Dear Peyton" by TBWA\Chiat\Day, and Snickers for "Marilyn" by BBDO. The favorite, though, might just be the Ad Council's "Love Has No Labels" film from R/GA, which broke through to become an enormous viral hit. 

Emmy voters seem to favor feel-good, socially progressive spots, too, as they awarded the 2015 Emmy to the Always "Like a Girl" spot by Leo Burnett.

Rounding out the nominees are RPA's exquisite animated spot "Paper" for Honda and, somewhat oddly, 72andSunny's "Year In Search 2015" montage for Google.
