1 Outstanding Drama Series

The nominees: Better Call Saul, Bodyguard, Game of Thrones, Killing Eve, Ozark, Pose, Succession, This Is Us

The winner: Game of Thrones

Why: Despite, erm, mixed reactions to the HBO juggernaut's final season, the show smashed Emmy records with 32 nominations—the most ever for a single season of television. Killing Eve, Pose, and Succession all proffer worthy competition, but the Academy usually favors a back-to-back winner and wouldn't miss the opportunity to crown Thrones one last time.
