"Game of Thrones" has already won 38 Emmys. Also this year, the fantastic series will enter the race with 22 nominations. Most appointments, however, have Netflix.
The fantasy series "Game of Thrones" enters the running for the US Emmy television award with 22 nominations as a big favorite. Produced by HBO, the hit series has been nominated for the Best Drama series, among others, as the TV Academy announced Thursday in Los Angeles. The strong competition comes from the medieval epic of the HBO series "Westworld" and the satirical cult show "Saturday Night Live", which are each nominated in 21 categories.
"Game of Thrones" has already won 38 Emmys in six years – but last year, the series had not been in the running because of the deadlines set. With 18 nominations, the series "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" of the FX channel is launched, one of the few entirely new productions among this year's favorites. Even the most important actors in the series are among the nominees: Darren Criss, Penelope Cruz, Edgar Ramirez and Ricky Martin can expect an Emmy.
Several stars have been nominated for their TV coverage or mini-series, including Antonio Banderas, Benedict Cumberbatch and John Legend. Al Pacino, Kyle MacLachlan and Michael B. Jordan, who were among the contenders for an appointment, were empty.
Netflix Wins Highest Number of Emmy TV Award Nominations
For the very first time, an Internet streaming service has received more nominations than any other TV broadcaster: the Netflix streaming service offers 112 nominations this year the nose ahead. He has doubled HBO, which has 108 appointments, and NBC with 78 appointments.
Netflix received 122 nominations at the announcement of the winners of the Emmy Awards on Thursday in Los Angeles, topping the United States after 17-year-old HBO pay TV station in second place.
