2018 Emmy Nominations List: ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Atlanta,’ ‘Westworld’ Pick Up Honors
After thousands of new episodes and millions of dollars spent on For Your Consideration campaigns, it all comes down to this. The 70th annual Emmy Awards have no shortage of shows to consider for recognition, and each year we find no shortage of surprises in what gets chosen to be recognized.
From incoming previous favorites like “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Game of Thrones” to upstart underdogs like “Killing Eve,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Barry,” and “GLOW,” the field of contenders this year is massive and exciting. Might “Twin Peaks: The Return” even return to its previous Emmys glory in the Outstanding Limited Series category?
One thing we can count on: There are bound to be some massive twists as Samira Wiley and Ryan Eggold make this morning’s announcement. The 2018 Emmy Awards will air Sunday, Sept. 17 on NBC, hosted by Colin Jost and Michael Che. Check out the nominees below.
