History is written in Westeros! The critically acclaimed GoT prequel House of the Dragon (2022– ) wins the Golden Globe for Best Drama Series. That is quite special, because the popular Game of Thrones (2011–2019) never succeeded.
The HBO Max fantasy series about the dragon family Targaryens had to compete in the Golden Globe category against The Crown, Better Call Saul, Ozark and Severence. The profit also came as a surprise to the makers and actors. As you can see, we didn’t expect to win.
History written
This makes House of the Dragon the first GoT series to win this important award. Game of Thrones has been nominated five times in the same category, but never won the Golden Globe. In 2012, actor Peter Dinklage won the award for his role as Tyrion Lannister in the series.
Other winners
House of the Dragon is of course not the only one to win this important prize. The Fabelmans (2022) was crowned Best Drama Film and its director – Steven Spielberg – won the Golden Globe for Best Direction. The big winner of the prize festival? That was The Banshees of Inisherin (2022). The drama film won no less than three Golden Globes in different categories. For series, that was the big winner Abbott Elementary (2021– ); the comedy series also won three awards.
House of the Dragon is te zien op HBO Max.
