Game of Thrones not considered for Emmy Awards

The "Game of Thrones" will not be at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards as it is not eligible to be nominated for any Emmys this year.

The seventh season of "Game of Thrones" did not premiere until July 16, which means the HBO's series has missed the eligibility period to be considered for this year's awards.

This is the first time since 2011 that "Game of Thrones" is not among the year's Emmy contenders.

The series, which was named the best drama series for the second consecutive year at the 2016 awards, has won 38 Emmys since its debut and holds the record for most awards of any drama or comedy series.

This year’s Emmy Awards host, Stephen Colbert plans to pay tribute to the victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

"Saturday Night Live" and "Westworld" have the most nominations, with 22 each.

The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards will begin at 3pm today.
