'Game of Thrones' was supposed to sweep. What happened?
Although it took five tries before the HBO fantasy epic won drama series, it had entered its final awards season having won the category for each of the last three years it was eligible. In 2015, the series set a record for the most Primetime Emmys won in a single year ; the following year it became the most awarded series in the history of the Emmys, a feat made even more notable by the fact that it has only ever won in one acting category .
“Game of Thrones” may be the only television show in history that had a better chance of winning a bunch of Emmys for its final season before that season aired. Certainly the anticipation of the story’s conclusion was a far more pleasant experience for many than actually watching it. Yes, you could argue, as many have , that the fury and disappointment so many felt about certain twists proved the power of the show. But it was fury and disappointment nonetheless.
Emmy voters are television professionals, with insider empathy, but they are also television viewers and no one could call the final season a resounding success. Certainly the Television Academy did not, passing “Thrones” over in both writing and directing categories.
