“Game of Thrones” is big winner at prime-time Emmy Awards

That ties her with Ed Asner and Mary Tyler Moore for the most awards of any actor or actress in Emmy history.

Iannucci, who recently delivered the annual MacTaggart Lecture in support of the BBC, pointed out his own show Veep, broadcast on HBO, has British writer, directors, and post-production, while Game of Thrones is filmed near Belfast.

Jon Hamm finally snared an Emmy for his lead role as Don Draper in AMC’s 1960s advertising drama “Mad Men“, winning a standing ovation from the audience.

British stars of the hit U.S. show Game of Thrones helped the fantasy drama pick up a record-breaking 12 awards at this year’s Emmys.

“Olive Kitteridge“, a four-hour mini series based on an eponymous 2008 novel by Elizabeth Strout, was also in the spotlight as it won multiple honours, including Limited Series, Lead Actor and Actress in a Limited Series or Movie. A pleasant surprise was comedian and actor Tracy Morgan making his first appearance since his tragic accident in June to present the final award of the night. Either that, or people are confident that they’ll be able to catch all the pertinent moments on Twitter, anyway.

Are you happy that Veep won Outstanding Comedy Series at the 2015 Emmy Awards?

Jeffrey Tambor and Jill Soloway delivered Amazon.com its first major Emmy awards for the show “Transparent“, as the online retailer went toe-to-toe with Time Warner’s HBO. The diversity of the nominees this year was a talking point during host Andy Samberg’s monologue (“racism is over – don’t fact-check that) and was accentuated throughout the night by the winners in many categories”. He took home the Emmy for the role in 2013.

Hamm thanked Westfeldt during his acceptance speech, but many he feel that he took a subtle dig at his ex by mentioning directly after his dog, Cora.

“I’d like to dedicate my performance to the trans community”, Ms. Tambor said. Comment below and let us know your thoughts. “To the Taraji P. Hensons, the Kerry Washingtons, the Halle Berrys, the Nicole Beharies, the Meagan Goods, the Gabrielle Unions – thank you for taking us over that line”.

“Veep” claimed the top comedy award that ABC’s “Modern Family” had won for five straight years.
