Well, it’s that time of year again. As the 2019-2020 TV season kicks into full gear this week, the industry is taking a look back at the most award-worthy series from last season. HBO broke its own record for most nominations by a single network with 132, though Netflix isn’t that far behind with 117. Who will come out on top when it’s time to hand out trophies? Will Game of Thrones‘ dismal writing in the final season knock it out of the running for the major categories? And will Amazon be able to make a splash again this year with only 47 overall nominations? Only the voters know that now. So, get ready and stay plugged into Def Pen because we’re going to be updating this list all night as the winners are announced.
