It's No Iron Throne, but the Game of Thrones Cast Just Took Home an Emmy!

Published on Sep 18, 2018 at 11:32 PM

Everybody loves a good drama series, and there's no doubt that Game of Thrones always brings the right stuff. From an evil Night King to a mad queen whom we all love to hate, the show knows how to dial the intensity to 11 and keep us coming back for more. So it's no surprise the fantasy drama won the 2018 Emmy for outstanding drama series. Show creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff were joined on stage by cast members Gwendoline Christie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Emilia Clarke, and Kit Harington. Peter Dinklage and A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin were also on stage, with the former having won an Emmy earlier that night for his role as Tyrion on the show. Check out Weiss's speech thanking the cast and crew for the Emmy win because, as he said, "The show is only as good as the people who make it."
