Game of Thrones did get nominated for Best Drama, and then a bunch of other junk that most Emmy watchers don't care about, including casting, title design, costumes, hairstyling, etc (the rest are here). They also got nominated for a Best Writing and Best Directing award, which isn't as big a deal at the Emmys because they're only for one episode, not the overall series. One thing is worth noting, though -- the Best Directing nomination was for the pilot, "Winter Is Coming," directed by one Timothy Van Patten.

Master. Fucking. Ninja.
I know I've freaked out about Van Patten's directing career before -- his rather impressive dircting career, I might add -- but now that he's been nominated for an Emmy, I feel I'm justified in freaking out all over again. The man was in a show where he drove around in a van with a pot-bellied, ninja costume-wearing Lee Van Cleef and a hamster and mumbled all his lines. Now he could very well win an Emmy... and I think he deserves it, too. Madness, my friends. Madness, plain and simple. Thanks to Mike and Melissa for the tip.
