In 2017 Game of Thrones wasn't nominated for an Emmys because its July 16 premiere date made it ineligible, but can we expect a big return for the HBO fantasy series? So far, George R. R. Martin's baby has racked up an astonishing 38 Emmy wins and well over 100 nominations, and this year, there are notable noms for stars like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, and Lena Headey, as well as guest star Diana Rigg. The show itself is also in the outstanding drama category, so at the very least, we can hopefully expect the majority of the ensemble cast to show up and strut their stuff on the red carpet.
