Winter arrived early at this year's Primetime Emmys, as "Game of Thrones" took home the award for Outstanding Drama Series on Tuesday. This is the epic fantasy show's third Emmy in the category having won for two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016. The popular HBO series, whose eighth and final season arrives next year, bested last year's winner "The Handmaid's Tale". Other nominees were "This Is Us", "The Crown", "Stranger Things", "Westworld" and "The Americans".
Actors Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Gwendoline Christie and Nathalie Emmanuel, among others were also on the stage. On the other hand, it was a 'Long Live the Queen' moment for Claire Foy as she scored the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for "The Crown".
It is Foy's first win - a memorable moment for the actor, who has exited as Queen Elizabeth II from the Netflix royal drama after its second season last year. The role will be played by Olivia Coleman for the upcoming third and fourth seasons.
Emmy recognizes and celebrates excellence in the television industry, and is the equivalent of an Academy Award (for film).
