Game of Thrones has shattered Emmy Awards records by picking up 32 nominations on Tuesday morning.
The final season of the show wasn’t a hit with all fans but Emmy voters were impressed, and the TV show has now set the record for the most nominations for any programme in a single season, beating the 27 previously set by NYPD Blue in 1994.
It is now a favourite for the Outstanding Drama Series prize, up against Better Call Saul, Bodyguard, This Is Us, and Killing Eve, while stars Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington have landed top acting nods for their roles.
Defending Outstanding Comedy Series champion The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is also up for a big night at the Primetime Emmys after landing 20 nominations, while acclaimed HBO drama Chernobyl picks up 19 and sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live scores 18.
