  The Emmy Awards were established in 1949 in order to recognize excellence in the American television industry, and are bestowed by members of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Emmy Awards are given in different ceremonies presented annually; Primetime Emmy Awards recognize outstanding work in American primetime television programming, while the Creative Arts Emmy Awards are presented to honor technical and creative achievements, and include categories recognising work of art directors, lighting and costume designers, cinematographers, casting directors, and other production-based personnel. The Emmy Award corresponds to the Academy Award (for film), the Tony Award (for theatre), and the Grammy Award (for music).
  ''Game of Thrones'' has won 59 out of 161 nominations. Peter Dinklage has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series eight times in a row for playing Tyrion Lannister, with a win in 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2019. Showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have won twice for Writing for a Drama Series. ''Game of Thrones'' has eight nominations for Outstanding Drama Series, winning four, in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019. Both David Nutter and Miguel Sapochnik have won for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. ''Game of Thrones'' holds the Emmy Award record for most wins for a scripted television series, ahead of ''Frasier'' (which received 37).
  At the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards the show's fifth season was nominated for 24 awards. The show ultimately won twelve awards, setting a new record for most Emmy wins by a series in a single year, replacing the previous holder ''The West Wing''s nine wins, and tying that show and ''Hill Street Blues'' for the most wins by a drama series throughout its run. At the nominee announcement for the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards, the show's sixth season received the most nominations of any show with 23. The show yet again won twelve awards, tying the same record for most Emmy wins by a series in a single year.
  At the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards the seventh season was nominated for 22 awards, the most of the ceremony, including a first Emmy nomination for Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
  At the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards the eighth season was nominated for 32 awards, thus breaking the record for most nominations received by a regular series in a single year.
