Game of Thrones at the Creative Emmys

[Westeros]

For those keeping track, Game of Thrones has added to its bevy of Creative Arts Emmys: nominated fo 16 awards, it took home 8 of them. Bear in mind, in some of those categories there were several Game of Thrones entries, most notably the Cinematography in a Single-Camera Series category which featured six nominees, four of which were from Game of Thrones (HBO sister show Boardwalk Empire‘s season 5 premiere actually won there, however).

This continues the show’s tremendous run in creative arts and production categories, which is understandable given both the expense, the complexity, and the terrific amount of talent involved behind-the-scenes in producing the visuals, effects, stunts, and more. With the 2015 Emmys, the show has been nominated for 88 awards so far, of which it has won 19 so far. More Emmys are pending for the Primetime Emmy awards airing on the 20th, while FXX will broadcast last week’s Creative Arts Emmys on the 19th.

EMMY FUN FACT AND GOT: The record for most Emmys win in one season is held by The West Wing that won a total of 9 awards in it's first season in the year 2000, GoT has won 8 and is up to seven more in the primetime ceremony so it just need to won one more to tie with The West Wing. Thrones is the odd on favorite in the races for Drama Series, Directing and Supporting Actress.

 

Another thing, the record for most wins by a Drama series is now 26  for both Hill Street Blues and The West Wing; right now Game of Thrones has 22 Emmys (2 for season one, 6 for S-2, 2 for S-3, 4 for S-4 and so far 8 for season 5) if as projected Thrones win 3 next sunday it'll be the second most awarded drama in history of the Academy and if win all of the five categories that nominated (Series, Directing-twice-, Writing, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress-twice) it'll establish a new record with 27 wins.
