'Game of Thrones' Takes Home the Outstanding Drama Series Award at the 2018 Emmys
Congratulations, Westerosians(?): Game of Thrones just won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. The cast and crew of the HBO fantasy drama crowded the Microsoft Theater stage to accept the award.
David Benioff thanked the "mad genius" of George R.R. Martin as Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage (who won for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series!), Gwendoline Christie, Kit Harington, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and others glittered behind him.
The cult-favorite fantasy series beat out all your other highbrow faves: The Americans (FX), The Crown (Netflix), The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu), Stranger Things (Netflix), This Is Us (NBC), and Westworld (HBO).
Yeah, I know, it feels like Game of Thrones hasn’t been on for, like, 37 winters. But season seven actually premiered after the eligibility period so it counts, OK! And winter will be coming before you know it. (God I hope so.) And the penultimate season may have been the best yet. It had everything: zombie dragons, unlikely alliances with game’s top players, Cersei at her Cerseiest-oh, yeah, and Dany and Jon DOING IT.
For GoT stans it was exciting to see the gang all back together-no word on why Ed Sheeran couldn’t make it/if he’s still singing in the forest.
