Game of Thrones is now officially ruling over the 2018 Emmy Nominations, with 22 nominations in various categories. The HBO drama had to wait for this year’s Emmys awards for the submissions. Though the season 7 of GOT aired in summer 2017 but due to Emmy’s eligibility it was cut off.
And for this year it has been nominated for 22 categories, including Best Drama Series, Best Directing for a Drama Series and Best Writing for a Drama Series.
