Primetime Emmy Awards 2019 Full Nomination List

Game of Thrones, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Chernobyl, and the other nominations for the 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards have been announced. The 71th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards “often referred to simply as the Emmy, is a television production award, similar in nature to the Peabody Awards but more focused on entertainment, and is considered the television equivalent to the Academy Awards (for film), Grammy Awards (for music) and Tony Awards (for stage).”

For the last two years, Game of Thrones has led the list of nominations. This year is no different. HBO’s Game of Thrones earned thirty-two nominations this year. Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel garnered twenty nominations. HBO’s Chernobyl brought in nineteen nominations.
