Following behind SNL and Westworld in the nomination stakes are Stranger Things and Feud: Better and Joan with 18 nods, with Veep close behind with 17.
Meanwhile, 42-year-old comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live is in the running for 22 honours at this year's ceremony, including Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for Alec Baldwin, thanks to his portrayal of President Donald Trump, while Melissa McCarthy - who generated headlines for her impersonation of White House press secretary Sean Spicer - is up for Guest Actress in a Comedy.
The Outstanding Comedy Series category will see last year's winner Veep vying against Blackish, Atlanta, Master of None, Silicon Valley, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Modern Family to retain its crown, while Outstanding Limited Series sees The Night Of, Big Little Lies, Fargo, Feud: Better and Joan, and Genius on the shortlist.
HBO lead the networks with a total of 110 nominations, with Netflix close behind with 91.
The Emmy Awards will take place at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on September 17.
Stephen Colbert will host this year's ceremony, and the awards show will be broadcast by CBS.
