Usually, there’s at least a little mystery when it comes to the Emmys. That’s what gives viewers fun surprise wins like last year's unstoppable Marvelous Mrs. Maisel sweep .
2019 has no such mystery. Everyone knows the 71st Emmys Awards, airing Sunday, September 22, belong to Game of Thrones. Even after that controversial six-episode finale season.
This year’s Emmys aren’t just about awarding those few hours of farewell television. It’s about celebrating the HBO blockbuster that changed TV forever. Not only did the fantasy series confirm you could still have bona fide hits at a time when audience viewership was plummeting throughout the industry. It also proved television — traditionally the ugly step-sister of pop culture — could be bigger, splashier, and more extravagant than most movies ever dreamed.

At a time when television is questioning what the future holds, Game of Thrones remained a beacon of water cooler success for the decade. That is why it’s dominating the Emmys. It also doesn’t hurt that GoT's cast — including Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Sophia Turner, Maisie Williams, and several other 2019 Emmy nominees — is universally beloved.
That's why Peter Dinklage broke the Outstanding Supporting Actor record on Sunday night with his fourth win for playing Tyrion Lannister.
Now that the technical-heavy 2019 Creative Arts Emmys are wrapped and the 2019 Primetime Emmys are nigh, it’s time to find out just how successful Game of Thrones can be. This is every award GoT has won, from the most famously contentious races to the categories you didn't even know about. We’ll be updating as more inevitable victories are announced.
By the end of Emmys night, Game of Thrones may have more gold than the Lannisters.
