The Emmy nominations are here. Game of Thrones has 22 nominations, the most of any TV show this year. Right behind it were Westworld and Saturday Night Live (both have 21).
There will be a new winner for lead actress for the first time since 2011. Julia Louis-Dreyfus has won the award for the past six years but will not be in the running this year because the show VEEP did not make the Emmy nomination deadline.

Also, Betty Gilpin is the only person from GLOW to receive an acting nomination. Meanwhile, SNL received three of the seven nominations in the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category. Despite the Roseanne controversy, Laurie Metcalf also received a nomination in this category.
The Handmaid’s Tale earned three of the seven nominations in the Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. This is Us and Westworld each have two competitors in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category.
The most interesting thing about these nominations though may be that for 17 years in a row HBO has been the most nominated network but this year Netflix has overthrown HBO, according to the New York Times.
Netflix achieved 112 nominations and HBO achieved 108. Netflix has been steadily on the rise in only a few years. In 2015, Netflix had 34 nominations, the year after 54 and last year 91.
This could signify that Netflix will have the most wins this year at the Emmys. The fight between Netflix and HBO will be a close one. Emmys will be awarded on September 17.
See a list below of several categories. See more categories on the Emmys website.
