“Game of Thrones” leads the Emmy nominations with a record-breaking 32 nods.
The HBO series, which concluded in May this year after eight years on-screen, is in the running for a host of honors at this year’s ceremony, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor and could bag the Outstanding Lead Actress prize.
Although “Game of Thrones” is no stranger to winning Emmy awards — having won 47 in the past — this is the first time in TV history that any show has secured that many nominations in a single year.
Ava DuVernay’s four-part Netflix miniseries “When They See Us” about the former Central Park Five was nominated for Outstanding Limited Series and several members of the cast also received acting nods for their performances, including Asante Blackk, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Aunjanue Ellis, Vera Farmiga, Jharrel Jerome, John Leguizamo, Niecy Nash and Michael K. Williams.
The Emmy Awards will take place at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on Sept. 23.
