Prior to this year, HBO’s “Game Of Thrones” had amassed 107 Emmy nominations (and a record 38 Emmy wins).<\/p>\n

Principal Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister on the show, had not scored one of those nominations.<\/p>\n

That changed this year. In a Thursday morning announcement, the Television Academy revealed that Coster-Waldau is in contention for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.<\/p>\n

His nomination is one of 22 attained by the HBO juggernaut this year.<\/p>\n

He, meanwhile, represents one of three first-time nominees in the Supporting Actor race. Joseph Fiennes of “The Handmaid’s Tale” and Matt Smith of “The Crown” are also enjoying their first Emmy recognition.<\/p>\n

They will compete against Peter Dinklage (“Game Of Thrones”), David Harbour (“Stranger Things”), and Mandy Patinkin (“Homeland”) in the category.<\/p>\n

The Emmys take place on September 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will compete in the Supporting Actor race.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":115219,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[11288,11289,3944],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nNikolaj Coster-Waldau, Matt Smith, Joseph Fiennes Score First Emmy Nominations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Prior to this year, HBO's "Game Of Thrones" had amassed 107 Emmy nominations (and a record 38 Emmy wins).
