The Best Of TV This Year: Meet The 2018 Emmy Winners

The Emmy Awards are finally upon us and there are some big, big winners this year. There's Game of Thrones, which is up for a jaw-dropping 22 nominations, Saturday Night Live and Westworld each raked in 21 noms, and the bleak, but addicting, Handmaid's Tale rounds out the top three shows with an impressive 20 nominations.

In addition to the big names of the night, a few actors are hoping to break records — and break barriers — during the show. Sandra Oh will hopefully make history as the first woman of Asian descent to win Best Lead Actress in a drama series (her nomination already made history) for her role in BBC's Killing Eve. GoT's Peter Dinklage already broke a record just by scoring seven nomination for her supporting role on the hit HBO series.

Unfortunately, Succession is not nominated for an Emmy this year due to its release date (hello, 2019 Emmys!) but a ton of other impressive shows are up to bring home a W. Let's see how they fared.
