Photos by Frazer Harrison/GettyGame of Thrones just can’t be stopped. HBO’s commercial and critical smash is one of the most popular series currently airing on television, and now it’s the most awarded, as well. At Sunday night’s Emmy awards, Thrones won three Emmys, which allowed it to break the record for most Emmys won by a scripted series that was previously held by Frasier.
The show also became the most-awarded drama series of all time, passing The West Wing and Hill Street Blues. Thrones won for writing, directing and outstanding drama. The show also picked up nine awards at the Creative Arts Emmys held last weekend, bringing its total number of wins to 38, which bests Frasier’s 37.
