Emmys Report: Game of Thrones, Fleabag, Chernobyl Win Top Prizes

The 71st annual Emmy Awards saw big winners at Amazon and HBO as Game of Thrones, Fleabag, and Chernobyl took home the top prizes. Thrones won two awards, namely Best Drama and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for Peter Dinklage, to end its run as a four-time Emmy Award winner for Best Drama and Dinklage a four-time winner for his category. The wins leave Game of Thrones with a final tally of 160 Primetime Emmy nominations over its eight-year run and a total of 57 wins.

Thrones was not the most winning show of the night though, as it cot topped by both Chernobyl and Fleabag. Fleabag has the most wins from the ceremony with four, dominating the Comedy series with wins for Best Comedy, Lead Actress in a Comedy (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), Writing for a Comedy (Waller-Bridge) and Directing For a Comedy (Harry Bradbeer). The show notably put a damper on Veep’s final season, leaving the show and Julia Louis-Dreyfus out in the cold. Louis-Dreyfus was easily the front-runner to take home the award, and Fleabag’s upset made for a huge moment not only for Waller-Bridge and the show, but Amazon who placed second in total awards for the night with seven.

Similarly, Chernobyl dominated the Best Limited Series or Movie category, winning Emmys for Best Limited Series, Writing for a Limited Series or Movie (Craig Mazin) and Directing for a Limited Series or Movie (Johan Renck). The Best Television Movie Award went to FX’s Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.

Among the other winners were Billy Porter, who became the first openly gay African-American to win Best Actor in a Drama for his role in FX”s Pose, and Jodie Comer who won Best Actress in a Drama for Killing Eve. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver ruled the Variety Show categories and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel took home what comedy awards than its Amazon Prime sibling Fleabag.
