Game of Thrones has dominated the Emmys this year with an impressive number of wins so far – and we haven’t even had the main awards ceremony yet.
The main Emmy Awards, with the red carpet, glam outfits and all the pomp and circumstance of a Hollywood royalty event takes place next weekend, on Sunday September 22. However before the annual Emmy Awards, there is always another event, the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which honours technical and other production achievements behind the most popular shows on TV.
The Creative Arts Emmy Awards took place over the weekend in Los Angeles and it was here that the controversial final season of Game of Thrones dominated the award wins like Daenerys Targaryen taking King’s Landing.
While season 8 of Game of Thrones might have divided fans, with the petition to have it remade garnering over 1.7 million signatures so far, the judges for the Emmys appear much more united in their appreciation for the final installment of the show, awarding it the most wins at the Emmys so far.
How many awards did Game of Thrones win at the Creative Arts Emmys?
Game of Thrones is nominated for 32 Emmys in total, including the coveted Best Drama Series award. Stars Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke are nominated for the lead actor and actress in a drama series Emmys respectively and their cast mates Peter Dinklage, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams are all nominated for their supporting roles in the series.
We won’t find out if Games of Thrones will take home any of these Emmys until the main awards show on Sunday 22, however what we do know so far is that the show cleaned up when it came to winning Emmys for its production value.
Last night, GoT took home an impressive 10 Emmy awards, all for its brilliant production quality and casting. The awards won by the show included gongs for their costumes, makeup and visual effects.
