The one notable absence for the 2018-19 awards, however, is regular winner Veep. Still, the comedy category remains a strong one thanks to Curb Your Enthusiasm, Silicon Valley and new acclaimed series Barry.
Game of Thrones-wise, the cast members that HBO is throwing its weight behind include Emilia Clarke (Daenerys), Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Lena Headey (Cersei) while the Westworld stars in contention will be Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright and more including two yet-to-be-announced guest stars who we're hoping will be Zahn McClarnon.
One person who's expected to not only earn a nomination but earn an eventual win is Laura Dern for her portrayal of a sexual abuse survivor in Jennifer Fox's biographical TV Movie The Tale.
Cast your eyes on all the shows and stars whose names may be mentioned in a few week's time. It should be noted that personal reps are permitted to submit those HBO has chosen to omit.
