The Emmy Nominations are Here
HBO pulls in multiple nominations
HBO has historically been something of a powerhouse when it comes to award season. After the rise of both Netflix and Amazon, things have started to change. HBO no longer dominates like it used to, and competition is tougher than ever. The 2016 Emmy awards continue that pattern, even though HBO has still pulled in a healthy amount of nominations. It by no means guarantees the highest amount of wins.
Still, there are a few major categories in which HBO has no nominations. That includes both Lead Actor and Lead Actress in a Drama. To be fair, outside of Game of Thrones, there’s not that much that HBO has to offer in those categories. That could change eventually with The Night Of, but it is what it is for now. Here is a list of some of the more major awards that HBO is nominated for:

That’s nothing to sneeze at, but it’s not remarkable either, especially up against the likes of Mr. Robot and House of Cards. The one category that HBO blows away is Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama, with three well-deserved nominations. If nobody else, Massie Williams deserves that Emmy.
