HBO has reclaimed its throne as king of Emmy nominations.

The cable network received a whopping 137 nominations Tuesday morning, riding the dragon wings of “Game of Thrones,” which received a record 32. The nominations include best actress in a drama for Emilia Clarke and best actor in a drama for Kit Harington.

HBO’s “Chernobyl” and “Barry” also brought in big numbers of nominations.

Netflix ended HBO’s 17-year reign last year to win the most nominations but was bumped to second this year with 117.

NBC was a distant third with 58 nods, a figure that led all broadcast networks. CBS had 43 and ABC 26.

Amazon’s Prime Video was second to Netflix among streamers with 47 nominations.

Beyoncé’s “Homecoming” film has scored six Emmy nominations, while documentaries on Michael Jackson, R. Kelly and the disastrous Fyre Festival also picked up nods.

With Netflix’s “Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé,” the pop star earned four of the six nominations Tuesday, including bids for producing, writing, co-directing and musical direction. “Homecoming” will compete with “Springsteen on Broadway” in the outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) category.

“Homecoming” also earned nominations for costumes and production design.

HBO’s “Leaving Neverland” and Netflix’s “FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened” will compete for outstanding documentary or nonfiction special. Lifetime’s “Surviving R. Kelly” is up for outstanding informational series or special.

Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban share a nomination for their work on the Tony Awards. T Bone Burnett scored a nomination for his musical score of HBO’s “True Detective.”

The 2019 Emmy nominations for best television movie have been announced.
