The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations looks to be the year of the freshman in one of the biggest categories.

Five new shows, including "This Is Us," "Westworld," "The Handmaid's Tale," "The Crown" and "Stranger Things," will compete with returning nominees "Better Call Saul" and "House of Cards" for best drama.

"Stranger Things," which has been a breakout hit for Netflix, scored 19 nominations.

The comedy sketch series "Saturday Night Live" and the HBO drama "Westworld" both earned the most Emmy nominations for individual shows with 22.

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

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 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.
