“Game of Thrones” has won more Emmys than any other drama in the history of television. Did anyone think it would go out quietly for its final turn?

The HBO fantasy epic captured 10 Creative Arts Emmy Awards over the weekend, the most of any series in the kick off to this year’s Primetime Emmys.

HBO’s limited series, “Chernobyl,” about the 1986 nuclear reactor disaster, also had a strong night on Sunday, earning seven Creative Arts Emmys. And Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” which won best comedy last year, took home six awards, including best guest acting honors for Jane Lynch and Luke Kirby. (The drama guest acting awards went to Cherry Jones and Bradley Whitford, both for “The Handmaid’s Tale” on Hulu.)

Nearly 100 categories were presented over two ceremonies on Saturday and Sunday, most of them for technical achievement, as well as guest acting honors and others not considered viewer friendly enough for the live telecast of the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 22. (For example: best music composition for a documentary series or special.)
