HBO’s LOVECRAFT COUNTRY got 18 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Jurnee Smollett, and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Jonathan Majors.

Kate Winslet was also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, for her unforgettable role in MARE OF EASTTOWN.
