The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards bent the knee to ‘Game of Thrones’, HBO’s fantasy epic, which closed out Sunday night’s ceremony by nabbing the prize for best drama series.

HBO also had the most wins of the night, with 9, to Amazon’s 7 and Netflix’s 4.

D.B. Weiss and David Benioff’s series, based on George R.R. Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ novels, ended its eighth and final season in May with a divisive finale and tepid reviews, but still managed to become the most-watched program in the premium cable network’s history, with 19.3 million viewers.

Despite its polarizing farewell run, the blockbuster series racked up a record 32 Emmy nominations this year. Last weekend, it took 10 prizes at the Creative Arts Emmys.
