It probably comes as no surprise that HBO's new fantasy drama,
Game of Thrones has garnered 13 Emmy Nominations. The show has been generating buzz ever since the premiere episode. Some of the Notable nominations are for:
- Drama Series
- Supporting Actor in a Drama Series [Peter Dinklage]
- Directing for a Drama Series [Tim Van Patten, pilot]
- Writing for a Drama Series [David Benioff and D.B. Weiss]
I'm thrilled with the number of nominations for the show but I feel that Sean Bean definitely should have been nominated for
Lead Actor in a Drama Series and that his female counterpart, Michelle Fairley should have received a nomination for
Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Also, the series didn't receive a single nomination in any of the Music categories. The intro music alone is Emmy worthy and the shows musical score only gets better from there.
Michelle Fairley deserved an Emmy Nom for her portrayal of Catelyn Stark.
Sean Bean gave an Emmy worthy performance as Ned Stark.
Game of Thrones is an American medieval fantasy television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. The series is based on author George R. R. Martin's best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of seven planned fantasy novels, the first of which is called A Game of Thrones. The series debuted in the U.S. on April 17, 2011. Game of Thrones has been extremely well received, and has garnered a loyal fanbase. The series was picked up for a second season on April 19, 2011, two days after its premiere.
