The 70th Primetime Emmy Awards are upon us, with 2018’s top drama coming down to “The Americans,” “The Crown,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Stranger Things,” “This Is Us” and “Westworld.”

As first-time hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost are waking up and heading over to the Microsoft Theater, let TheWrap remind you of all the other nominees in the running to take home a prize tonight.

After a year off, “Game of Thrones” is eyeing the TV Iron Throne with 22 nominations, the most for any show — edging out NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” and fellow HBO drama “Westworld,” which earned 21 nominations apiece. Following behind is Hulu’s “Handmaid’s Tale,” which jumped from 13 nods in 2017 to 20 nominations for this year’s show.

Ryan Murphy’s FX anthology series “The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” leads the limited series pack with 18 nominations, while the network’s Donald Glover comedy, “Atlanta,” is the most-nominated in its own category with 16.

But Netflix is the true belle of the ball, as the streamer surpassed HBO to grab 112 nominations and break the premium cable channel’s 17-year streak of being the most-nominated network.

Plenty of statues were already handed out during Creative Arts Emmys earlier this month. You can see the winners from Night 1 of that show here and Night 2 here.

See the list of tonight’s nominees below.
