"Game of Thrones" took home the coveted Emmy for Best Drama series Sunday night after being nominated in seven categories, including drama, directing, writing and acting.

"Game of Thrones" cleaned up the Emmy Awards nominations with a record-shattering 32 nods, including best drama series — but it was "Fleabag" that was the biggest winner of the night.

"Game of Thrones" also took home one acting award: Peter Dinklage's fourth victory outstanding supporting actor in a drama series.

Still, the show broke its own record for most Emmys ever for a drama or comedy series at 58.

The series was nominated in seven categories, including drama, directing, writing and acting. "GoT" stars Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington were both nominated for lead acting honors for the first time, but lost respectively to "Killing Eve" star Jodie Comer and Billy Porter, who made history as the first openly gay man to win for best actor in a drama series. Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, Lena Headey and Gwendoline Christie, all nominated for supporting actress in a drama series, lost out to Julia Garner of "Ozark."
