Sorry Folks, No Image Is Here.

The 70th Emmy Award nominations were announced today and Game of Thrones is leading the pack with 22. The Handmaid’s Tale got a bunch, as well as a bunch of HBO and Netflix series. Curb is back so I expect that to win Best Comedy series although we got new blood like Barry, Atlanta, Glow to potentially win it as well. Anthony Bourdain got nominated for Parts Unknown, so I’ll be rooting for him and the show to win posthumously. Bill Maher didn’t get nominated for the first time since 2004, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah was nominated in his place. I’ll still be rooting for John Oliver of course but would be nice to see Samantha Bee get it as well. I’ll have more predictions and snaps a few weeks before the broadcast on the site. The Emmys will air September 17th from 8-11 p.m. ET on NBC. SNL’s Weekend Update anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost will host.
