The hit television series Game of Thrones has broken a 25-year record for Emmy nominations. The Television Academy on Tuesday honored the show’s eighth and final season with 32 Emmy nominations. A police show, NYPD Blue, had held the record since 1994, the year it received 27 Emmy nominations. Game of Thrones is set in a fantasy world of dragons, magic, warring rulers and unusual love relationships. If Game of Thrones successfully defends the best drama series prize and wins a fourth Emmy in the category this year, it will join four of the most-honored dramas. They are Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, The West Wing and Mad Men. The latest praise from the Television Academy sharply differs from reactions from fans to Game of Thrones' last season.
