Down a host and swimming in nominations for “Game of Thrones,” the 71st annual ceremony kicked off on Sunday night to celebrate the best in television over the last year with the stars descending on the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Heading into the night with a record-breaking 32 nods and 10 wins from the Creative Arts Emmys earlier this month, HBO’s fantasy juggernaut is the one to beat. The series dominated the supporting drama categories and delivered the lion’s share of the network’s total 137 nominations, edging out Netflix as the most-honored streaming service this year.
HBO’s other prized pony “Veep” is also well-primed for a victory lap with star Julia Louis-Dreyfus one trophy away from setting a record for the most awards won by a single performer.
But the ceremony could also mark a turning point for the awards show, if the Television Academy chooses to recognize newer dramas and comedies like FX’s groundbreaking “Pose” and the Sandra Oh-fronted “Killing Eve” or Netflix’s mind trip “Russian Doll” and Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s “Fleabag” over legacy series.
The Limited Series race is equally competitive with critically acclaimed projects like “When They See Us” and “Sharp Objects” going head to head with “Chernobyl,” “Escape at Dannemora” and “Fosse/Verdon.”
