'Game of Thrones', 'The Marvelous Mrs Maisel' win big at Emmys 2018

September 18, 2018 14:02

Winter arrived early at this year's Primetime Emmys as "Game of Thrones" took home the award for Outstanding Drama Series while newcomer "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel" surprised with its clean sweep in the comedy category, including the top award of the Outstanding Comedy Series.

"GoT", whose eighth and final season premieres next year, won nine awards while "Mrs Maisel" took home eight trophies.

The popular HBO series bested last year's winner "The Handmaid's Tale" to score its third Emmy in the category after winning the honour for two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016. Claire Foy got the parting gift by winning 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 Netflix's royal drama after its second season last year. -- PTI
