Game of Thrones has had a long run, and always done so well with awards. The show recently made its Season 8 awards debut at the MTV Movie & TV Awards, where it won the “Best Show” award. Read on!
The award was given to Jacob Anderson a.k.a. Grey Worm, before the awards even began, on the red carpet itself. This was an unusual move, but Anderson accepted it with grace:
Life will never be the same now that #GameOfThrones is over 😭
