Emmy Fantasy Epic

Rami Malek won the Emmy for best lead actor in a drama for cyberspace security thriller "Mr Robot." Fantasy epic "Game of Thrones" made television history at the 68th Emmys, becoming the most decorated fictional show since the awards began nearly seven decades ago. The HBO series picked up 12 total Emmys this season, nine awards in technical categories and three top prizes at the glitzy ceremony in downtown Los Angeles, television's equivalent of the Oscars. The blood-spattered, sex-filled saga about noble families vying for control of the Iron Throne took home the most coveted prize of the night, the best drama Emmy, along with statuettes for writing and directing. It was a night of recognition for old hands in the comedy categories, while the drama awards went to relative newcomers.
