2015 Emmy Nominations: ‘Game of Thrones’ Leads All Contenders

The nominees for the 2015 Emmy awards were announced on Thursday with ‘Game of Thrones’ leading all contenders this year….

‘Game of Thrones’ continues to be HBO’s biggest show of all time and the series is also great at racking up award show nominations as evidenced by the Emmy Awards that were announced on Thursday.

‘Game of Thrones’ racked up 24 nominations, leading the pack for all television shows in 2015.

‘American Horror Story’ also picked up a ton of nominations with 20 overall including another nod for former lead actress Jessica Lange for her portrayal of ‘Freak Show’ leader Elsa Mars on the most recent version of the anthology series on FX.

Several departing shows were shown love by the Emmys this year including ‘Mad Men’ with 11 nominations while ‘Boardwalk Empire’ got 10 nominations. Unfortunately both ‘Justified’ and ‘Sons of Anarchy’ were virtually shut out of every category with the exception of the best song category, which earned show creator Kurt Sutter a nod for his writing on the track ‘Come Join the Murder’ which was performed by Jake Smith aka The White Buffalo.

‘The Walking Dead’ also got shut out of almost every major dramatic category although considering its the biggest show on television currently, it’s likely the show’s writers, producers and actors are laughing all the way to the bank.

First time nominee ‘Better Call Saul’ picked up right where ‘Breaking Bad’ left off with a slew of nominations including Best Drama and nods for Best Actor for Bob Odenkirk and Best Supporting Actor for Jonathan Banks.

Here’s a complete run down of the major categories and the nominees for the 2015 Emmy Awards. The ceremony to name the winners will take place on September 20, 2015 and air live on FOX.
