2019 Emmy Awards winners list: ‘Game of Thrones’ wins Best Drama, but only 1 acting award

Television’s biggest night — the Emmy Awards — came and went without any major surprises.

The 71st Emmy Awards were telecast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, and there was no host emceeing the ceremony, leading many viewers to call the ceremony uneven and jarring.

Buzzy comedy Fleabag took home Best Comedy. HBO’s dark and heavy Chernobyl won Best Limited Series, while Black Mirror: Bandersnatch won Best TV movie.

Game of Thrones slashed its way to a record-setting 32 Emmy nominations for its eighth and final season. The bloodthirsty saga’s total eclipsed the all-time series record of 27 nods earned by NYPD Blue in 1994, but the number of nominations didn’t necessarily lead to victory — except in the biggest category, Best Drama.

Peter Dinklage, who played the beloved-yet-troubled Tyrion Lannister on Thrones, won Best Supporting Actor in a drama. All other supporting actors from Thrones didn’t win their respective awards, including onscreen sisters Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams.

Costars Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke, who were both up in the lead acting categories, were also shut out.

The Best Actor, Drama and Best Actress, Drama went to Billy Porter in Pose and Jodie Comer in Killing Eve, respectively.
