If Daenerys of Game of Thrones’ final season doesn’t get a bunch of Emmys, things could get ugly. We know what happens when she’s not pleased.
HBO
The 71st Emmy Award nominees came out Tuesday — Game of Thrones will battle shows including Killing Eve and Bodyguard for best drama series despite having a divisive final season. The HBO blockbuster got 32 nominations in total, making HBO the network with the most total nominations this year — 137 in all.
Last year, Netflix took that honor with 112 nominations, beating HBO’s 108 and breaking its 17-year winning streak. This year, Netflix got 117 nominations in total.
Game of Thrones scored a nomination for best drama series, and stars Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke were nominated for lead actor and actress in a drama series, respectively. Supporting actors and actresses including Peter Dinklage, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams were also nominated.
Community star Ken Jeong and The Good Place actor D’Arcy Carden unveiled the list at an LA ceremony. The 71st Emmys will air Sept. 22 on Fox, but we don’t know who’ll host yet. Here’s the full list of nominees.
