2019 Hollywood Speakeasy Emmy Awards Predictions

The Emmy’s are here and that means it’s the official kickoff to Award Season. In TV this year, we saw some great shows start, continue their dominance, and come to a close (some more controversial than others). But we also get to celebrate another great year in TV. 

This year, HBO took home the most nominations with 137 nominations, which beats its own record set back in 2015 (126 nominations). Other top nominee getters include Netflix with 117 nominations, NBC with 58, and Amazon with 47. Game of Thrones took home the most nominations with 32, followed by Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel with 20, HBO’s Chernobyl with 19, Saturday Night Live with 18, HBO’s Barry and FX’s Fosse/Verdon both had 17, and Netflix’s When They See Us took home 16 nominations.
