Game of Thrones makes history with 32 nominations for the 2019 EMMY Awards
With an eighth season that closed the story by breaking audience records, the saga inspired by "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George RR Martin, brought to the small screen, continues to be the star series on HBO, this time reaching a historic figure of 32 nominations for the 2019 EMMY Awards.
With this figure, Game of Thrones leaves behind the record of 26 nominations for the NYPD Blue series, which in 1994, being the most popular series of the moment, swept the awards ceremony.
But it is not just about the nominations in its last season, the most popular series of the last decade rubs shoulders with the best series in history with incredible numbers, one of the most amazing being that of having 161 nominations in its eight seasons to the most famous awards on television.
The most awarded series in television history
This is another of the most impressive numbers and in this case we are not talking about applications, in the awards ceremony for the winners Game of Thrones stands as the most winning series in all of history with 47 statuettes, a figure that it will obviously exceed although it does not know with how many new statuettes at the upcoming awards ceremony.
Some may have criticized the end of the series, however the quality of the last season, the definitions and especially the quality of the performances, scenery, sound, leave no room for doubt: It is one of the best series of all time.
About 1,600,000 followers of the series signed a kind of petition to the writers of the series to achieve changes in a new version of the final season, but these 32 nominations give a clear message, with or without criticism at the end it is about a great series and a great season (it should be remembered that the entire season is taken into account).
Among the best known actors / actresses from the Game of Thrones series nominated for the EMMY 2019 awards are:
Kit Harington (Jon Snow)
Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen)

Lena Heady (Cersei Lannister)
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister)
Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark)
Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy)
Maisie Williams (Arya Stark)
Apart from the awards for acting, the series obtained several nominations in areas such as direction, photography, visual effects, among others, highlighting the nomination for Best Drama, since in case of winning the statuette it would be equaling the historical record of the Mad Men series., with four statuettes won.
In the case of actor Peter Dinklage, we are talking about a performance so relevant that it has earned Dinklage nominations in all seasons of the series for his outstanding role as Tyrion Lannister.
Games of Thrones fans are waiting for the prequel
The announcement of the prequel to the series moved the followers of the series, leaving behind the criticism for the end a bit before the excitement of discovering new aspects in the story, although not precisely with their favorite characters (it takes place 5000 years before ). Obviously, what makes fans smile for other series can mean another year with Game of Thrones - now in the prequel - sweeping nominations and EMMY awards.
5000 millennia before and without the favorite characters, what emotion will the prequel to Game of Thrones have? If you ask yourself that question, there is no doubt that you are not a fan of the series or you have not heard about the advances that have leaked on the prequel.
First the King of the Night will appear, but also the first arrival of the white walkers, as well as the first moment when the First Men made peace with the Children of the Forest and much more... You just have to wait less than a year in the future to learn the history 5000 years in the past of the sensational series.
