The Record set by Games of Thrones

The series has won the ‘Best Drama Series’ award for two years in a row. The show-runners of the series D.B. Weiss, David Benioff, and its director Miguel Sapochnik were rewarded for their work on season 6 episode ‘Battle of the Bastards’.
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss won the award for ‘Writing for a drama series’. Whereas, Miguel Sapochnik won the award for ‘Directing for a drama series’.
Coupled with the nine wins at last week’s Creative Arts Emmys, Game of Thrones emerges as the drama series with the record number of wins in Emmys history.
