Nominations for the 68th Emmy® Awards were announced last night in Los Angeles. It came as little surprise to see Game of Thrones come out tops with 23 nominations. Hot on the heels of the fantasy show was The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which received 22 nominations. Fargo and Veep also ranked highly, receiving a respective 18 and 17 nominations.
M-Net 101 will be screening the Emmys live this year, on 19 September at 02:00. Alternatively, you can watch the ceremony in prime time on the same day, at 19:30. Many of your favourite shows on M-Net and M-Net Edge have received nods. Take a look at the nominations for the 68th Emmy Awards, below.
