Emmy Nominations 2018: Game Of Thrones, The Handmaid's Tale Among Best Recognized

And your 2018 Emmy nominees are...

Nominations for the 70th Emmy Awards were announced on Thursday, with Orange Is the New Black and The Handmaid's Tale star Samira Wiley and The Blacklist actor Ryan Eggold on hand to do the unveiling.

Game of Thrones took in the most collective nominations, with 22 total; Saturday Night Live and Westworld trailed closely behind with 21 each, while Hulu's powerhouse series The Handmaid's Tale raked in 20 nods.

As far as network and streaming services nominations are concerned, Netflix nestled in the top spot, earning 112 — an increase from the company's 91 nominations in 2017Westworld home HBO came in second at 108 nominations; NBC, which houses Outstanding Drama Series nominee This Is Us, slid into third place with 78. 

With celebration for those nominated comes disappointment at those left out, and chatter about who was "snubbed" in the 2018 Emmy Award nominations has already begun. 

It's confusing that BBC America's breakout Killing Eve didn't scoop up a nod for Outstanding Drama Series when its star, Sandra Oh, was recognized in the lead actress category — becoming the first Asian woman to receive such acknowledgement at the Emmys. It's also quite shocking that Modern Family wasn't noticed, that neither Emilia Clarke nor Kit Harington earned a nod for their work on Game of Thrones (an especially harsh reality considering the series is airing its final season in 2019), and that Alison Brie wasn't nominated for her performance on GLOW

There's always next year, though, right?
