'Game of Thrones' Earns A Record-Breaking 32 Emmy Nods

Associated Press

   LOS ANGELES - HBO's ``Game of Thrones'' has slashed its way to a
   record-setting 32 Emmy nominations Tuesday for its eighth and final
   season.

   The bloodthirsty saga's total eclipsed the all-time series record of 27
   nods earned by ``NYPD Blue'' in 1994.
   The showing by ``Game of Thrones'' led HBO back to dominance over
   Netflix, the streaming service that bumped it last year from its
   longtime Emmy dominance.

   Last year's best comedy series, ``The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'' led the
   pack with 20 bids, including for its star and defending champion Rachel
   Brosnahan.

   ``The Masked Singer'' judge Ken Jeong and ``The Good Place'' star
   D'Arcy Carden announced top-category contenders at the Television
   Academy in Los Angeles.

   The 71st Emmy Awards will air Sept. 22 on Fox, with the host yet to be
   announced.
