It's been another year where TV has once more raised the bar and delivered some quality drama with star-studded casts and stellar performances. The Emmys for TV land are what the Academy Awards are to the movie world, so obviously bagging one of these bad boys is no small feat to the stars and shows nominated.
The nominations for this year's awards were revealed today by 'The Handmaid's Tale' actress Samira Wiley alongside 'The Blacklist' alum Ryan Eggold.
'The Handmaid's Tale' is a prominent feature on the list below, earning a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series while Elizabeth Moss, Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovsi, Alexis Bledel, Ann Dowd also secured nominations with Kelly Jenrette, Cherry Jones, and Samira Wiley nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series
'Game of Thrones' also has quite a few nominations, having just missed out on inclusion in last year's list due to the series airing in July. The show, whose final season will premiere in 2019, earned a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series while Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Diana Rigg are also up for a gong.
Interestingly, Netflix earned the most 2018 Emmy nominations of any network, beating HBO's 17-year streak. Shows on the streaming service nominated include 'The Crown', 'Stranger Things' and 'Black Mirror'.
The 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Michael Che and Colin Jost, will air live on NBC from the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on September 17th.
