HBO’s Game of Thrones may not have been eligible for last year’s Emmy Awards, thanks to its hiatus in broadcast, but at the Creative Emmys held on the weekend of 8-9 September, it returned with a vengeance.

On the first night, it took 7 of the 15 awards for which it was nominated: Outstanding Prosthetic Make-up for a Series, Limited Series, Movie, or Special; Outstanding Special Visual Effects, Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score); Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Drama Series, Limited Series, or Movie; Outstanding Fantasy/ Sci-Fi Costume; Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Period or Fantasy Program (One Hour or More), and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One Hour).

Other genre shows were also represented: Black Mirror’s USS Callister took three awards – Outstanding Television Movie, Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Limited Series Or Movie,  and Outstanding Sound Editing For A Limited Series, Movie Or Special.

The Handmaid’s Tale won Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Contemporary Program (One Hour Or More), Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Samira Wiley, and Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a eDrama Series.

Westworld was honoured with Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media within a Scripted Program And Outstanding Makeup For A Single-Camera Series (Non-Prosthetic) And Outstanding Hairstyling For A Single-Camera Series.

Counterpart (coming to Starzplay in the UK later this month) won Best Title Design, while Stranger Things took home Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One Hour).
