If Mindhunters isn't one of the shows Netflix is nominated for then critics don't know what they are talking about. If you haven't seen it and like films from David Fincher, or in other words, Films that respect you and know that action is not needed to keep your attention then go watch this show. It's amazing.

The Lannisters were the only ones to get the main acting nominations!

[TheJayef]

Surprised? Netflix has like 100 times the amount of shows HBO has lol

[terrywatkins]

i hope Diana Rigg (Lady Olenna) wins best guest supporting actress in a drama series. it will be tough though 7 actresses in the category.

[BUSeixas]

Westworld and GoT still beat Netflix imo

[OZbibaO]

From all I have seen, Handmaid's Tale definitely deserve the win. The series is just a step above the others. Amazing cinematography, and flawless performances across the board. This season of GoT was WEAK, definitely among the worst, really does not deserve all the nominations.WW S02 was well below season 1 especially in terms of script, Legion deserved a nod at least for directing (episode 14/6 come to mind), Atlanta was the best Comedy, no doubt, in terms of narrative the season was weaker than the first, but it was entertaining and even more daring, it really is a special show.

[Who-Uhm-Cares]

I mean let’s be honest Netflix has more shows and on top of that tons of boring dramas.

[Miltonk]

I hope HBO does not go with the trend of "the more the modest number of original series IMO is best.

[wesleymons]

No noms for Kit Harington or Emilia Clarke😡😡😡😥😥

[thearmyoffluffs]

Can’t believe there’s no Nathan for you nomination as far as I can tell.

[wylerXL]

Game of thrones tech effects and costumes are big level up last season. But storywise its going downhill.

[scorpioninpink]

Can I just say that Television have more great content nowadays compared to the film industry? Also Westworld and The Handmaid's Tale are the only drama shows that should be nominated

[janwouter]

Leina hatty (don't know how u spell it) deserves an emmy the most of all the GOT actors and actresses.

[joshua]

Westworld is the best show ever and deserve every nomination goddamnit Anthony Hopkins u stroke of genius acting makes everything into except transformers lmao

[kledi]

I hope Westworld will win the best show

[MrNeilTV]

Hollywood buying themselves awards again lol

[DihPlayer]

Handmaid's Tale
GOT lost the quality =/

[Miltonk]

Quantity over quality I guess in this case. Do not get me wrong, I love netflix series, but they are not what they used to be. And they are just making too much medicare content. Per cápita....HBO still rules the nominations. Deservingly.

[Czejenesku]

why GoT is nominated this year?? there was no season this year! Westworld should have nominations

[stkhlear]

Who is first alien to ever be nominated? Maybe 2550 or 2020 hmm
