A good year for television means a tight list of Emmy nominations.

All shows that premiered between June 1, 2018 and May 31, 2019 are eligible for this year’s awards, which means the latest seasons of Stranger Things and The Handmaid’s Tale didn’t make the cut. To no one’s surprise, Game of Thrones dominated in the drama categories, with fellow HBO shows Barry and Veep sweeping the comedy categories. Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel holds strong in comedy and NBC’s This Is Us takes big spots in drama. The Good Place finally gets its chance in the spotlight.

Find the full list of nominated shows and talent below. The winners and losers will be revealed at this year’s ceremony on Monday, Sept. 22, 2019.
