The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced Thursday morning and it looks to be the year of the freshman in one of the biggest categories. Five new shows, including “This Is Us,” “Westworld,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Crown” and “Stranger Things,” will compete with returning nominees “Better Call Saul” and “House of Cards” for best drama.
“Game of Thrones,” which has won best drama the last two years, is ineligible for this year’s Emmys because of a later start date (its seventh season begins on Sunday).
“SNL” is now the most Emmy nominated series of all time with a total of 231 over the history of the show. “Atlanta,” “Black-ish,” “Master of None,” “Modern Family,” “Silicon Valley,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” and “Veep” are vying for best comedy. See the full list below.
