With the Emmy nominations announcement quickly approaching I thought it would be helpful to see what shows will reap the most nominations. For this list I only considered awards that are presented on the main telecast and the guest categories.
Right now, I have Breaking Bad leading the nominations with nine. I think their leading the nominations is contingent on the number of writing and directing nominations they receive. In terms of total nominations I think Game of Thrones is going to lead with a large haul of technical nominations.
