The American Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has just announced an Emmynomination list for the most loved series of the year, with a list of potential actors and writers this year.
The two most prominent series of Emmy nominees this year are Veep and Game of Thrones . While both have names in many categories, Game of Thrones even set a new record with 32 times being named. Previously, the record-keeping television work was NYPD Blue in 1994, with 26 nominations.

Game of Thrones competes in the series of drama, male lead (Kit Harington), female lead (Emilia Clarke), male side (Alfie Allen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldeau, Peter Dinklage), woman (Gwendoline Christie, Lena Headey, Sophie Turne, Maisie Williams) and many other prizes.
The HBO series is still dominant at Emmy despite being underestimated in quality compared to previous seasons. On Rotten Tomatoes, only 58% of critics praised season eight (broadcasted from April this year). In all seven seasons ago, this score was above 90%. Earlier, more than half a million fans also signed a protest against developments in the film.
In Emmy this year, two big brands HBO and Netflix continue to compete with 137 and 117 respectively - the highest among the units. HBO has the outstanding works of Game of Thrones, Chernobyl, Barry, and Netflix marked with When They See Us, Russian Doll, Our Planet and Ozark. Trang Variety said that HBO has a number of big series with many nominations, while Netflix has more extensive nominations, spread many categories.
Over the past few years, the online publishing unit has risen to become HBO’s main rival in awards. However, Netflix is still looking forward to its first win in one of the two most important categories - drama and comedy series. Last year, Game of Thrones and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon) won these two awards.
In addition, new titles such as Russian Doll and Schitt’s Creek, Pose and Succession also exhibit formidable competition in comedy and drama categories.
The 71st Emmy awards ceremony will take place on September 22 in Los Angeles (USA) and will be broadcast live on Fox channel. To date, the organizers have not selected the host.
