The 67th Annual Emmy Awards crowned HBO’s fantasy hit with its highest honor Sunday night, with Thrones winning the award for outstanding drama series.
With a total of 12 Emmys (including eight at the previously held Creative Arts Emmys), Thrones broke a major record, surpassing The West Wing to take home more TV Academy awards in a single year than any other show. Thrones easily beating the White House drama’s 15-year-old record of nine in one year.
