Emmy nominations

HBO’s Game of Thrones led all shows with 22 Emmy nominations. HBO’s Westworld and NBC’s Saturday Night Live were nipping at GOT’s heels with 21 each. Hulu’s Handmaid’s Talenabbed 20. 

GOT was nominated for Best Drama Series, where it will face off against mega-hit and last year’s winner, The Handmaid’s Tale.

For the first time since 2011, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is not up for Best Actress in a Comedy. Rachel Brosnahan, Tracee Ellis-Ross and Issa Rae are among those battling it out for the award.

The 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Michael Che and Colin Jost, will air live on NBC from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on September 17.

FAST FACTS:

Handmaid’s Tale and Orange Is the New Black’s Samira Wiley joined Blacklist alum Ryan Eggold to announce the 2018 Emmy Award nominations Thursday morning. Anthony Bourdain received six posthumous nominations for his hit CNN show Parts Unknown. Sandra Oh made history, becoming the first Asian woman to earn a Best Actress nod. Laurie Metcalf snagged a nomination for her role in ABC's Roseanne, despite its cancellation. She has been nominated for an Emmy five times, and won three. John Legend was nominated for his first Emmy for Best Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his starring role in NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert. If he wins, he will be one of 13 people to achieve EGOT status, as the recipient of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. Last year, GOT was not eligible for any Emmy nominations.
