    We don't know how to feel!

    From the end of Game of Thrones to season two of Killing Eve, it's safe to say that 2019 has been a massive year for TV, with too many of us spending too much time on our Netflix as a result. It's hardly surprising therefore that this year's Emmy nominations - released this week - boast some pretty big names.

    The list did prove controversial, with Big Little Lies and Stranger Things being noticeably absent from the line-up, but it has since been explained that this is due to ineligibility, with the two series starting after the cut-off date, therefore making them eligible for the 2020 Emmys instead.

    This year's awards, the 71st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, are set to take place on September, with the ceremony returning to LA's Microsoft Theatre.

    But who's nominated this year? Here's everything you need to know...
