The Big Apple has a major presence in this year's Emmy nominations and the city's leaders say it another boost for New York's growing entertainment industry.

More than 100 of this year's nominees, which were announced Thursday, arefrom shows that film in New York, including comedies "Girls" and "Louie" and dramas like "Boardwalk Empire" and "The Good Wife."

"The industry creates quality jobs for 130,000 New Yorkers and supports small businesses throughout the five boroughs, pumping $7.1 billion into our economy," Mayor Mike Bloomberg said in a statement.

"The message from this year's nominations is clear: if you want to make award-winning television, make it in New York."

Comedy shows based in New York seemed to be popular with the Emmy's nominating crew. "Saturday Night Live," had the most New York nominations with 15 selections including Best Variety Show. "30 Rock," which ended its seven season run in the winter came in second with 13 nominations.

Several of the nominees are born and bred Gothamites including Lena Dunham, who has two nominations for directing and staring in "Girls."

"We congratulate all of the actors, writers, directors, production designers, hairstylists, editors, sound mixers and everyone else who had a part in making these shows so excellent," the city's Media & Entertainment Commissioner Katherine Oliver said in a statement.

More shows and movies are using studio space in the five boroughs and filming on location recently. The state has also issued a 30% tax credit for filming in the Empire State and it was a leading incentive for production companies.

Next year, "The Tonight Show" will move back to New York with an updated studio at Rockefeller Center with Jimmy Fallon as the host.
