Helen Sloan/HBOGame of Thrones just scored very big. The fantasy drama snagged 24 Emmy nominations this morning, beating out every other show in the bunch, and its network—HBO—lead all networks with 126 nominations total. Not bad for a show that weathered its share of controversy in its fifth season. But while Game of Thrones walked away with the most nominations, the more impressive showing was that of Netflix, which stepped up with 32 nods total. The streaming service got noms for Orange Is the New Black and House Of Cards for Outstanding Drama Series, Kyle Chandler and Kevin Spacey for Best Actor in a drama, and Ben Mendelssohn and Uzo Aduba in the supporting categories. That’s ahead of other cable networks like AMC and Showtime, which each scored 24 nominations, and just behind FX at 38. After only a few years of original programming, Netflix has established itself as a major player in the high-profile categories.Check out the full list of nominations here. Other areas of note:• Empire got a Best Lead Actress nomination for Taraji P. Henson’s undeniable Cookie Lyons—but that’s it for the most popular broadcast program that isn’t a live sporting event. The monstrously popular Walking Dead is also absent. • Tatiana Maslany finally got her nomination for Lead Actress, Drama for Orphan Black. (!!!) Here’s hoping that if she wins, she gets a trophy for each of the characters she plays. Although considering she’s up against Henson for Empire, perhaps it would be better to see Helena and Cookie face off against each other for the statuette. • Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt earned seven Emmy nominations as the breakout debut comedy for voters, which has to sting for NBC. But Parks and Recreation did get an Outstanding Comedy Series nod and Amy Poehler scored her fifth consecutive nomination for Lead Actress, Comedy. • The CW, which picked up its first ever Golden Globe this year for Gina Rodriguez’s performance on Jane The Virgin, hasn’’t seen its uptick in quality rewarded in Emmy nominations. But it did rightfully get one nod—for Best Narrator.• Louis CK is still widely beloved by voters as a writer, director, and a performer. He earned five nominations for his work this year on Louie, hosting Saturday Night Live, and his special Live at the Comedy Store.• For those who love cruel trivia tidbits, the final season of Disney Channel’s Dog with a Blog received a nomination for Outstanding Children’s Program for the second year in a row. That brings its Emmy total to three, or for anyone counting at home, one more nomination than David Simon’s The Wire. Maybe that fifth season at the Baltimore Sun should’ve cast an up-and-coming canine blogger.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.
