The final season of Game of Thrones cleaned up this past weekend at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which honor the heroes behind the camera who bring our favorite TV shows to life. When it rains it pours, because while that was happening, the show was also winning a quartet of Saturn Awards, which honor the best in fantasy, sci-fi and horror cinema and television. Let’s check out the haul.
First up, the show won the top TV award of the night, an acknowledgment of eight seasons well watched:
