Fourteen primetime programs garnered at least 10 primetime-Emmy nominations Thursday morning.
Entertainment reporter Jeanne Wolf said that, while "Thrones," gained the most nominations, there is still room for other nominees to win big on award night, since the fantasy hit only nabbed one nod in Emmy's top 12 categories.
"Well, the 'Game of Thrones' is the most talked about, and got the most nominations. But the nominations, funny enough, are not for the major actors, the people who have been watching and applauding, yes they got show, then they got 18 other nominations all over the map, but not the major players."
A blast of newcomers made the top cut, including HBO's drama "True Detective" and the Netflix comedy "Orange is the New Black."
But many were stunned that the CBS drama "The Good Wife," which has had critics buzzing for months, got snubbed this year.
This year's primetime Emmys will air on Monday, August 25. Normally, they air on a Sunday in the middle of September.
