Los Angeles:
HBO's sci-fi western Westworld and NBC's comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live led the field for television's prestigious Primetime Emmy awards Thursday, with 22 nominations.

HBO's political comedy Veep, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as hapless former president Selina Meyer -- scored 17 nominations for television's equivalent of the Oscars, to be handed out on September 17 in Los Angeles.
