The nominations for Emmy Awards 2019 have been announced. The awards which celebrate the best in Television will be taking place on September 22. The nominations for this year's coveted honours have surprised everyone considering that HBO's Game Of Thrones bagged as many as 32 nominations which is the highest ever. It is surprising considering that the final season of the series was the most debated one. Fans, as well as critics, were highly disappointed with Season 8. Game Of Thrones stars, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington have received a nomination in the Best Actor and Actress in a Drama Series category. Other actors from the show such as Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Gwendoline Christie have got a nomination in the Supporting Actress category for a Drama Series.

This calls into question everything about how nominations are done at @TheEmmys .#Gameofthrones S8 should not be on this list for Outstanding Drama https://t.co/OlY9GswTE1

The #Emmys are a fucking joke! Clearly a popularity contest! #GameofThrones receiving best drama series and writing nominations for that turd of a final series is a fucking disgrace! D&D fucked up! Boycotting Emmys!

Complaining about these nominations is silly and opens a huge can of worms, but Kit Harrington over Peter Dinklage in #GameofThrones is very incorrect https://t.co/ABuiKj0OIS

I know everything is subjective and I respect the opinion of people that think differently,but #GameofThrones shouldn't win any #Emmy trophies outside of the technical categories
The overall severe decline in writing just doesn't deserve any recognition,and maybe shouldn't
1/2
