Emmys 2019: From Game of Thrones to Fleabag, the full list of winners
Bill Hader and Phoebe Waller-Bridge won big, while Emilia Clarke and Amy Adams lost out.

Game of Thrones, Killing Eve, Bodyguard and more vied for the best drama gong.
Welcome to the 71st Primetime Emmys! Television's biggest awards night took place Sunday night in LA, and the biggest win of the night went to, yes, Game of Thrones. The show took home the award for outstanding drama series, and Peter Dinklage won best supporting actor in a drama. It was a fitting farewell to the hugely influential HBO series (let's ignore that it had a record number of nominations and won just two on the night).
In what was the first real upset, all the Game of Thrones nominees in the supporting actress for a drama category, including the favorite Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Gwendoline Christie, lost out to a shocked Julia Garner from Ozark.
A stunning Jodie Comer brought the next minor upset, taking best lead actress in a drama over Killing Eve co-star Sandra Oh, who was tipped to be the first woman of Asian descent to win the category. Barry's Bill Hader and Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge took the big comedy acting awards, and the excellent Fleabag ended up with four in total. Meanwhile Chernobyl scored three gongs and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel two.
If you want to check out how good/bad our winner predictions were, here's everything you need to know. And now that the event is over, head to IMDb's aftershow for interviews with some of the victors.
Here you'll find all the best Emmys memes, and at the bottom of this post you'll find reactions to winners, upsets and speeches. Did anyone beat Merritt Wever's profoundly touching speech from 2013?

Twitter reactions
Plenty of happy reactions rolled in after Game of Thrones took out the best drama win, despite a polarizing final season. And some not so happy.
Regardless of how people felt about s8, there’s no denying that #GameofThrones deserves to be recognized for the incredible worldwide phenomenon it became. Congrats to everyone involved! 👏 #Emmys2019 #bestdrama pic.twitter.com/SikPDQfzHX

Although some wanted Emilia Clarke to win best actress in a drama over Jodie Comer.

A bit of a weird one with Chernobyl.
I hope that the crew of Chernobyl being brought up to “I’m Feelin’ Good” at long last heals all those touched by this horrific disaster.#Emmys2019

What a speech from Alex Borstein.
"My grandmother is a Holocaust survivor [who] asked a guard 'what happens if I step out of line' and he said 'I won't shoot you but somebody will' but she stepped out of line and for that I am here. So step out of line, ladies ... step out of line." — @AlexBorstein #Emmys2019 pic.twitter.com/3vhmr9tX2x
