HBO’s Game of Thrones won its fourth Emmy as best drama series at the 71st Emmy Awards on Sunday night.

The win guarantees the series its single-year record of a dozen trophies.

Amazon’s ‘Fleabag’ upset the bookmakers for best comedy, picking up four awards in all, including acting and writing honours for its star, Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Like this year’s Oscars, the Emmys were presented without a host, but it did not take the shine off the show.

HBO had the most wins of the night, with nine to Amazon’s seven and Netflix’s four.

Game of Thrones’ cast, however, took the stage at the 2019 Emmys to bid their epic drama farewell, receiving a standing ovation from the star-studded crowd.
