Most-Honoured Dramas: Series and West Wing

most-honoured dramas: If Game of Thrones successfully defends it best drama series title and claims a fourth trophy, it will join the quartet of most-honoured dramas that includes Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, The West Wing and Mad Men, according to CTV. The Emmy voters' acclaim stands in sharp contrast to fan reaction to the show's last hurrah, which included howls of laughter for a to-go coffee cup inadvertently included in one scene and a finale that detractors called unsatisfying. The bloodthirsty saga's total eclipsed the all-time series record of 27 nods earned by NYPD Blue in 1994. But the show's ratings never faltered for the series based on George R.R. Martin's novels, setting new highs for HBO. A wealth of recognition for the cast and guest stars including the show's only previous winner, Peter Dinklage with three awards, helped Game of Thrones add to its already record haul of nominations, now at 161 total. She's competing in a category that's notable for its diversity, including past winner Viola Davis for How to Get Away with Murder and repeat nominee Sandra Oh for Killing Eve, who has another chance to become the first actress of Asian descent to win the trophy. Series star Emilia Clarke's decision to seek a best actress nomination after a series of supporting actress bids paid off. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
