Fantasy drama Game of Thrones has earned 22 nominations for the 70th Emmy Awards, where HBO's 17-year streak as the most nominated network has been broken by Netflix. Sandra Oh became the first Asian actress nominated for lead in a drama series, and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain was nominated posthumously for Parts Unknown.

The Television Academy had Samira Wiley and Ryan Eggold present the nominations here on Thursday morning. For the Game of Thrones, the announcement was special given that in 2017, the HBO entertainer was ineligible to compete for the Emmys due to its seventh season's later-than-usual summer debut. Now it has scored the most nominations for any single show at the 2018 Emmys. However, HBO does not lead all nominees as Netflix beat its 108 score with 112 nominations, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
