Game of Thrones got 24 Emmy nominations, more than any other show this year! George R.R. Martin is thrilled, naturally. The show was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series, actors Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Diana Rigg got acting nominations, there are writing, directing and special effects honors too, and many more. In fact, Game of Thrones’ whopping tally this year is amongst the highest ever. Still, Martin is pleased the show got all the lovin’ it did on Thursday, July 16 when the nominations were announced. However, he’s still got some gripes about the snubs. He said, “Outlander, how in the world did they overlook Outlander, with its music and its costumes and its cinematography and the incredible performances of its three leads (especially Tobias Menzies in his double role)?”
