HBO reigns with 9 Primetime Emmys, HBO and CNN nab 15 News & Doc Emmys
HBO took its place as the king of television – winning nine Primetime Emmys Sunday night, the most wins of any network this year, at the 71st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Also, on Tuesday, HBO and CNN nabbed a collective 15 News and Documentary Emmys.
HBO’s award-winning series “Game of Thrones” won 12 Emmys overall (Two Primetime Emmys and 10 Creative Arts Emmys), tying its own record for the most wins of any scripted program in a single season. The medieval fantasy series took home one of the biggest awards, Outstanding Drama Series and Peter Dinklage also won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Tyrion Lannister in the blockbuster series. The win gives Dinklage the record for the most wins ever in that category.
HBO’s other big Primetime Emmy wins include Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Bill Hader in “Barry,” three wins for “Chernobyl” with Outstanding Limited Series, Directing and Writing, Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for “Succession,” as well as two wins for “Late Night with John Oliver.”
In addition to its Primetime Emmy wins, HBO scored 10 News and Documentary Emmys. The network was honored for several of its shows, including multiple VICE News programs and four documentary specials.
CNN won five News and Doc Emmy Awards, spread across several of its brands including CNN Domestic, CNN International, CNN Marketing, CNN Films and Great Big Story. The news leader finished Emmy season with 11 Emmy awards (Dayside, Primetime, and News and Documentary combined) - the second best in the network’s history - and 44 total Emmy nominations - the best in the network’s history.
Earlier in the month, WarnerMedia also took home 30 Creative Arts Emmys, which recognize technical and other similar achievements in American television programming. For a complete list of WarnerMedia Emmy winners (Primetime, News and Documentary and Creative Arts), see below.
