“Game of Thrones†received six awards at the Creative Arts Emmys on Saturday night, kicking off a competition between several cable dramas that will conclude next Sunday with the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Another HBO drama, “Boardwalk Empire,†picked up three creative arts Emmys, which recognize television's technical feats. PBS's “Downton Abbey†and Showtime's “Homeland†each picked up two. Those four dramas will compete in the outstanding drama category at the Primetime Emmys, along with two others, “Mad Men†and “Breaking Bad.â€
The organization that holds the Emmys, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, presented its Governors Award to the It Gets Better Project , an online video movement to support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth. Among the other winners on Saturday night were the nature documentary series “Frozen Planet,†the drama “Great Expectations†and “Saturday Night Live,†which picked up four Emmys apiece; the History channel mini-series “Hatfields & McCoys,†which won three; and “Deadliest Catch,†which received two.
