Game of Thrones

Award season kicked off this morning with the reveal of the 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. 

Following an awkwardly scripted conversation and silly argument, actors D’arcy Carden (The Good Place) and Ken Jeong (Crazy Rich Asians) announced the list of noms for the 71st annual ceremony. This year, the nominations didn’t fail to bring the shock factor, especially with that Game of Thrones nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, among several other categories. We’ll see how the HBO series fairs during the awards ceremony, airing on Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. ET at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
