Popular fantasy drama “Game of Thrones” has set a new record by earning 32 nominations for the 2019 Emmys, the most ever for a single season of a show.
The nominations for the 71st annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced on Tuesday.
“Game Of Thrones”, which wrapped up its story with the final season earlier this year, will go out with a bang. By scoring 32 nominations, the show broke the record previously held by “NYPD Blue”, which got 26 nominations in 1994.

In the Outstanding Drama Series category, “Game of Thrones” is competing with “Better Call Saul”, “Bodyguarda, “Ozark”, “Pose”, “Succession”, “This is Us” and “Killing Eve”.
