A gap between seasons meant Game Of Thrones wasn't eligible for the Emmy Awards last year, but the show came roaring back with a vengeance, scoring 22 nominations for the 2018 version. In terms of companies, it was Netflix's year again, with 122 total nominations compared to HBO's 108.

Two of the Thrones team might be regretting their decision to run as leads, with Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke shut out of their drama categories. Dracarys, indeed.

Notable this year is Killing Eve's Sandra Oh, who becomes the first Asian actress to be nominated as lead actress in a drama. But we're also forking happy to see Ted Danson score a nomination for The Good Place.

Check out our list of the main categories below. The ceremony itself is set for 17 September.
