There are many reasons why Game of Thrones was not nominated for the Emmys. First and foremost, this show lacked the prestige and star power of other television shows. It had 9 acting nominations and four possible wins. Second, the season wasn’t that well-received by critics and fans. Third, Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke did not have easy competition for their roles. Also, the series’ controversy surrounding the Daenerys Targaryen arc may have prevented any of the three actresses from being nominated.

Third, the Emmys are based on air dates. As of July 16, Game of Thrones’ seventh season premiered on July 16. The six previous seasons began airing in April 2016. But, the Emmys only count episodes that aired during the eligible period. And because Game of Thrones’ sixth season had four episodes during that time period, it was nominated for an Emmy last year, but not this year. This makes sense considering how the series has been critically acclaimed for seven years now.

The second reason for Game of Thrones’ omission is because of its premiere date. The show has not been able to get its Emmy nominations this year because of the delay. The show premiered in April, which is outside the Emmy eligibility period. In addition, the episodes of the sixth season aired between April and July. In this case, the Academy does not count “hanging episodes.” Because of this, Game of Thrones will qualify for the Emmys this year, and it will probably receive multiple nominations.

One reason why Game of Thrones isn’t nominated for emmys is because it hasn’t been eligible for the awards yet. The show was nominated in both the Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Writing categories, but failed in both categories. The Academy doesn’t count “hanging” episodes. Instead, it counts the first episode of a show.

In addition to emmys, Game of Thrones isn’t nominated for emmys this year. However, it has won nine Emmys in 2016 and is likely to win in 2017. The Emmys are not given to TV shows that have aired episodes after their original broadcast date. But Game of Thrones hasn’t been nominated this year, either.

HBO didn’t submit the show for Emmy consideration. Since Game of Thrones’ premiere in 2011, it has racked up a record number of nominations. But it has been largely overlooked in 2017. In 2016, Game of Thrones won nine Emmys for its outstanding drama series. This is an unfortunate situation for the show. Although it isn’t a bad year for HBO, Game of Thrones has a great chance of winning an Emmy in 2018.
