Did your favorite show get an Emmy nomination???
"Atlanta and Game of Thrones dominated the 2018 Emmy nominations, notching 16 and 22 nods, respectively.
Atlanta will look to score its first Outstanding Comedy Series win, while its star and creator, Donald Glover, is up for his second Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series trophy (he also picked up nods for writing and directing on Atlanta, as well as hosting Saturday Night Live). Atlanta co-stars Zazie Beetz and Brian Tyree Henry also earned their first Emmy nominations for Supporting Actress and Actor in a Comedy.
As for Game of Thrones, the show will vie for its third Outstanding Drama Series trophy, having won the past two times it was nominated in 2015 and 2016. Members of the show’s massive ensemble cast – including Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – were also nominated in the Supporting Actress and Actor categories.
In the Outstanding Drama Series category, Game of Thrones will compete against last year’s winner, The Handmaid’s Tale, as well as The Americans, The Crown, Stranger Things, This Is Us and Westworld. Meanwhile, the Comedy Series category – which Veep has dominated the past several years – is wide open in 2018, with Atlanta going up against Barry, Black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Glow, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Silicon Valley and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
In the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category, Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss will also look to repeat as she goes up against The Crown‘s Claire Foy, Killing Eve‘s Sandra Oh, The Americans’ Keri Russell, Westworld‘s Evan Rachel Wood and previous winner Tatiana Maslany of Orphan Black.
Sterling K. Brown of This Is Us will try to win his second consecutive Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama trophy in a category that also boasts his co-star Milo Ventimiglia, Ozark‘s Jason Bateman, The Americans’ Matthew Rhys, and Westworld‘s Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright.
In the comedy performance categories, Glover will compete for his second Outstanding Lead Actor trophy against Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s Larry David, The Good Place‘s Ted Danson, Barry‘s Bill Hader, Shameless’ William H. Macy and Anthony Anderson of Black-ish. And the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category features Pamela Adlon of Better Things, Rachel Brosnahan of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Allison Janney of Mom, Issa Rae of Insecure, Tracee Ellis Ross of Black-ish and Lily Tomlin of Grace and Frankie.
The nominations also signal a shift in media giant domination, with Netflix overtaking HBO, the longtime network leader, as the most nominated network or platform for the first time.
The 2018 Emmy Awards will air September 17th on NBC.
