The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday night and saw a big win for the eighth season of Game of Thrones. Despite the series’ divisive final season, the show managed to take home the award for Best Drama, beating out Better Call Saul, This Is Us, Ozark, Pose, Bodyguard, Killing Eve, and Succession. In addition to the Best Drama nomination, the show was up for ten acting awards, but only Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) took home the prize for Best Supporting Actor. While the ten nominees were the only members of the cast to take the stage to present at the event, more of the show’s cast were in attendance. That include “Team Targaryen” members, Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) and Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont). Emmanuel took to Instagram to share a photo of her and Glen with Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), who was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Drama.
