2019 Emmys Nominees: Game Of Thrones Scores Record Number Of Nominations

The nominations for the 71st Emmy Awards have been announced. The annual TV awards are set to air on September 22, and this year the nominations are dominated by Game of Thrones.

Season 8 of HBO's hugely successful fantasy show has set a new Emmy record with a total of 32 nominations. That's more nominations for a single season than any show in Emmy history--the record was previously held by NYPD Blue, which scored 26 in 1994. Game of Thrones' nominations include Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Actress in a Drama for Emilia Clarke, and Outstanding Actor in a Drama for Kit Harrington.

While no other series came close to Game of Thrones' total, there were some other shows with impressive nominations numbers. These include The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (20), Chernobyl (19), Saturday Night Live (18), Barry (17), and Fosse/Verdon (17).

Other notable nominations include a seventh Lead Actress in a Comedy Series nomination for Veep's Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Best TV nominations for Black Mirror's Bandersnatch and the Deadwood movie, Mahershala Ali for True Detective, and nominations for Netflix shows Russian Doll and When They See Us.
