They have succeeded in winning, while the only ones dying are the main characters. At this year’s Creative Arts Emmys ceremony, Game of Thrones led the pack, winning more awards than any other show.

Thanks to the generous amount of fund that HBO is willing to invest in the show, Game of Thrones is just as visually arresting as it is gripping at storytelling. The sets are detailed and eye-catching, the fight scenes are thrilling and action-packed, and the special effects and makeup range from stunning to terrifying. (You can say what you will about how boring the sub-plot in Dorne is, but you cannot deny that that place looks breathtaking.) If you pay close attention to the artistry on display in Game of Thrones, you’ll know why it deserves these

The tragic nature means that by the end of the play, majority of the characters would have died. In this case, many of the characters have died due to murder or suicide.
