    GoT already holds the record for most Emmys won by a comedy/drama series with 47 wins.

    Meanwhile, Netflix captured 117 nominations, breaking its own 2018 record of 112 nominations.

  • However, as always, the Emmys gave a few shows the cold shoulder.

    The Big Bang Theory, an Emmys darling with 55 nominations and 10 wins, received just three nods—Outstanding direction (comedy), Outstanding technical direction, and Outstanding multi-camera editing (comedy).

    Richard Madden, the lead in Netflix's Emmy-nominated Bodyguard, was also snubbed by the awards, despite having won a Golden Globe this year for the role.
