HBO and Netlix were the biggest winners at the 70th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which took place last night, September 17. Both channels took home the most number of prizes between them, with HBO’s Game of Thrones winning the award for best drama series.
This was the third time Game of Thrones has won Best Drama award, having previously triumphed in 2015 and 2016. Peter Dinklage also took home his third Emmy for best supporting actor in the hit fantasy show, while Bill Hader and Henry Winkler, the stars of HBO’s acclaimed Barry, won best lead and supporting actors in a comedy. The best supporting actress in a drama award went to Thandie Newton for Westworld, another HBO show.
Claire Foy, who starred in the first two season of Netflix’s The Crown, won best actress in a drama. Netflix also won prizes for Black Mirror, Godless, and Seven Seconds, while Amazon scored no fewer than five awards for the comedy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Elsewhere, Matthew Rhys won best actor in a drama series for The Americans, Ryan Murphy won best director of a limited series of movie for The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, and RuPaul’s Drag Race took home the prize for Best Reality Competition.
