Game of Thrones won the night's most prestigious prize - best drama - despite the eighth and final series receiving a mixed response from fans and critics.

Axar.az reports citing BBC that one of the HBO fantasy's stars, Peter Dinklage, also took home the prize for best-supporting drama actor.

Elsewhere, the best drama series prize for Game of Thrones and the best supporting drama actor award for Peter Dinklage meant the fantasy epic won 12 Emmys in total, including the trophies it took home at last week's Creative Arts Emmys.

The show is already the most honored series and most-nominated drama in Emmy awards history.
