'Game Of Thrones' Wins Best Drama At Emmys After Divisive Final Season

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING “Game of Thrones” went out in a blaze of glory at the 2019 Emmy Awards after a polarizing final season, picking up the award for Outstanding Drama Series on Sunday night despite some major upsets earlier in the evening. HBO’s fantasy juggernaut, which has received eight consecutive nominations and three previous wins in that category, took home the top prize at the 71st annual ceremony, beating out contenders “Killing Eve,” “Ozark,” “Better Call Saul,” “This Is Us,” “Pose,” “Bodyguard” and “Succession.” “These last 10 years have been the best years of our lives, I can’t believe we did it, we shall never see it’s like again” showrunner David Benioff said on stage surrounded by the cast and crew. “Game of Thrones” garnered a massive number of nominations in the acting fields, as well as in multiple below-the-line craft and technical categories like best sound editing, casting and visual effects. And with two prequel series set in the “Game of Thrones” universe already in development at the network, expect HBO to keep the torch lit at the Emmys for years to come.
