Game of Thrones was the biggest show of the 21st century. It set the standard for television shows, especially in the fantasy genre, even with a flawed season finale. It holds the record for the number of Primetime Emmy Award wins, the most by any TV show in history. And it was possible only due to the amazing hard work put in by its decorated cast and crew. One of the show’s directors, David Nutter, will be honored with a lifetime achievement award.
