(MENAFN- NewsIn.Asia) September 23 (The Verge) - The television Academy paid its final adieu to Game of Thronestonight, honoring the cast with a standing ovation — but not necessarily in awards.
Game of Thrones'final season was practically shut out at the main Emmy's telecast. The show did take home the award for Best Drama Series, and Peter Dinklage won the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his role as Tyrion Lannister. Those two wins at tonight's telecast, combined with the 10 awards the show won at the Creative Arts Emmys last week, meansGame of Thronesties its previous record for most wins for a single season of television. The show previously won 12 awards for its fifth season in 2015, setting a new record.
The lack of awards may not be too surprising for fans considering the response to the show's eighth and final season received. Many critics were largely underwhelmed, and a portion of fans were disappointed. Still, welcoming the cast on stage and standing for the actors involved in HBO's popular series was a heartwarming display of support and celebration for the series.
Still, it was a great night overall for HBO. The network saw awards for some of its most popular shows on top ofGame of Thrones; BarryandSuccessiontook home some top category prizes, including Bill Hader's win for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his work inBarry.Jesse Armstrong took home Emmy gold for his writing onSuccession, one of HBO's most recent popular series.
Amazon also touted a super night, leading the number of wins for a streaming service. The company won a number of awards for darling shows likeThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,and newcomer series for Amazon Prime Video (through a partnership with BBC),Fleabag. Fleabagwon a number of awards, including for Best Comedy and Best Actress in a Comedy for Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The actress also received an award for her writing on the show's pilot. Netflix didn't have an amazing night compared to previous years, but it still managed to bring home some trophies for showsWhen They See UsandOzark.
