Winter and “Game of Thrones” might be over, but HBO’s fantasy behemoth is still expected to lead the nominations for the 71st annual Emmy Awards when the contenders are announced Tuesday.
“Community” alum Ken Jeong and “The Good Place” star D’Arcy Carden are set to unveil the Emmy nominations ahead of the awards presentation ceremony in September as television stars, both in front of and behind the camera, vie for Emmy gold on what could be a history-making night.
“Thrones,” which stands as the most decorated prime-time series in television history, as well as CBS’ “Big Bang Theory” and the increasingly real political satire “Veep,” are all gunning for a victory lap after airing their final seasons.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who is currently tied at eight wins with Cloris Leachman for the most trophies won by a performer at the awards show, could set a new record for her work on the HBO comedy series if the Emmy gods shine down upon her once again.
But Rachel Brosnahan and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” crew might prove too appealing to Emmy voters. The Amazon comedy essentially swept the awards last year, securing wins in major categories like Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
Elsewhere, Ryan Murphy’s groundbreaking FX series “Pose,” HBO’s “Succession” and Netflix’s “Russian Doll” are hoping to score Emmy nominations following critically acclaimed inaugural seasons.
This year’s Emmys also reflects the ongoing awards show skirmish between HBO and Netflix, which for the first time bested the cable giant in nominations in 2018 after a 17-year streak.
