Dopo un anno di pausa, Game of Thrones è tornato in gioco agli Emmy Award in grande stile. La settima stagione della serie fantasy ha conquistato ben 22 nomination: sarà in lizza per il suo terzo premio come Outstanding Drama Serie e i membri del cast – tra cui Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey e Nikolaj Coster- Waldau – sono candidati nelle categorie di attore e attrice non protagonista.
A seguire a ruota lo show cult tratto dalla saga di George R.R. Martin ci sono Saturday Night Live e Westworld, con 21 nomination ciascuno. La distopia di The Handmaid’s Tale ha ottenuto 20 candidature per la sua seconda stagione, tra cui quelle per Elisabeth Moss e Samira Wiley. Nella categoria di Lead actress in a drama, la Moss dovrà affrontare, tra le altre, Claire Foy di The Crown e Keri Russell di The Americans.
The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story domina sulle limited series con 18 nomination, mentre Atlanta è la serie comica più candidata con 16: il suo protagonista e creatore, Donald Glover, potrebbe vincere il suo secondo Emmy come miglior attore in una comedy. E i suoi colleghi di set Zazie Beetz e Brian Tyree Henry hanno ottenuto le loro prime nomination come non protagonisti.
Netflix è la rete o piattaforma più candidata con 112 nomination – contro le 91 dell’anno scorso – inclusa quella di Jason Bateman per Ozark e 12 candidature per la seconda stagione di Stranger Things (tra cui miglior drama) e 10 per la prima stagione di GLOW, compresa best comedy. Nonostante il ritorno di Game of Thrones HBO è scesa a 108 nomination dalle 111 del 2017.
