Clubbing both Primetime Emmys and the Creative Arts Emmys, Game of Thrones’ final season has bagged 32 nominations, the most nods received in a single year by any show in the history of the awards.
The Emmy Awards this year will also focus the spotlight on LGBTQ talent, with several queer artists and shows featuring gay, lesbian and transgender characters among the nominees. The FX series Pose, which explores the the 1980s culture of New York’s underground ballroom, featured the largest cast of transgender actors in regular series roles when it premiered last year and is competing for best drama series honours. The show’s lead star Billy Porter is the first openly gay black man nominated for best lead actor in a drama.
Just as the Oscars went without a host in January this year, the Emmys follows suit and the star-studded lineup of presenters include Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Michael Douglas, Naomi Watts, Julia Louis-Dreyfus... and the Kardashian clan. All 10 Game of Thrones acting nominees will also take the stage at the event.
