Game of Thrones is an epic fantasy drama series that not only portrays a fantastic medieval history but also tempts us to watch every episode again and again. Isn’t this the reason why it is the highest rated and the most binge-watched TV series? Well, what’s most exciting here is that this year Game of Thrones has rocked at the Creative Arts Emmys! Read on.
Game of Thrones had been nominated in 22 special categories for the 2018 Emmys and we hoped for the best. Well, the Creative Arts Emmys gave away the awards on September 8 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Hold your heads high as Game of Thrones Season 7 won the awards in seven different categories which included:
- Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score) to Ramin Djawadi for his fantastic music composition in the episode “The Dragon and the Wolf”.
- Outstanding Production Design For a Narrative Period or Fantasy Program (One Hour or More) for the pilot episode of the season – “Dragonstone”.
- Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes: for Daenerys Targaryen’s white winter costume in the episode “Beyond the Wall.”
- Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup for Series/Limited/Movie/Special: for the episode “The Dragon and the Wolf”.
- Outstanding Special Visual Effects: for the episode “Beyond the Wall”.
- Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One Hour): again, for the episode “Beyond the Wall.”
- Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Drama Series, Limited Series or Movie: to the stunt coordinator Rowley Irlam for his awesome contribution to the show’s stunts.
However, the list for awards doesn’t ends here. Emmys will soon be back with rest of the awards to be hopefully given away to the rest of the crew on September 17th. Let’s hope that our favourite TV series performs well there too!

Game of Thrones had plenty of social messages hidden in plain sight. Though it may not be too obvious, it was a representation of our own society. According to recent research, the fantasy show is very similar to real-world human interactions. That’s the reason why the show was such a big hit, people could relate to the characters. The series was a big platform to showcase the Domestic Abuse women face behind closed doors. Mother of Dragons, Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), has come forward in support of them.

Emilia posted a picture on her Instagram with a heart symbol drawn on her hand. She captioned, “This is something I care deeply about, and a problem that is everywhere, but behind closed doors.
For far too many home isn’t a safe place for those living with domestic abuse. I want to reach out and connect to anyone reading this who may feel scared in their own homes during this time.
At home should not mean at risk – we support you. #YouAreNotAlone.
If you or anyone you know is at risk of, or experiencing domestic abuse, you can leave your home to seek refuge. The police will respond to your calls and support services remain available.
Call 999 if you are in immediate danger. If you can’t speak and are calling from a mobile, listen to the operator and, when prompted, dial 55 to be connected to the police who will help.
If you suspect a neighbour or someone you know is currently experiencing domestic abuse please do call 999 and let them take the situation forward.”

Even though the year 2020 has ruined so many holidays for us, we can’t let go of the festive mood. Christmas is around the corner, and it’s time for cakes, cookies and presents! Festivals are one of the few occasions that strengthen the bonds of a family. It seems like singer Joe Jonas is already a step ahead, gifting his wife Sophie Turner an early Christmas present. The Game of Thrones star was really happy about it and proudly showed it off on Instagram.
Joe gifted her a T-shirt covered in throwback photos of singer and actress Miley Cyrus. The top is emblazoned with the words ‘Hannah Montana’. It features photos of Cyrus both in character as the Disney icon Hannah, who she played between 2006 and 2011, and as herself after she had shed her Disney image.
“Thanks to the Hubbs of the year for my early Christmas gift,” Turner wrote alongside a photo of herself posing in her new item of clothing.
They welcomed their baby daughter Willa in July this year. Sophie has got a tattoo tribute to her daughter. She has the letter W inked on her wrist below the J she already had for her husband.
Send your best wishes to Sophie and her cute little family in the comments below! Merry Christmas to all of you!
