    'Game of Thrones' was crowned Best Drama for the second year in a row at the Emmy Awards on Sunday.

    The popular HBO series has broken the record at the annual glamorous ceremony, which was held in Los Angeles, California, after it nabbed the prestigious gong once again.


    The fantasy drama managed to pick up 12 out of the 24 awards it was nominated for but, despite missing out on half of the gongs it was up for, it still managed to break a record by taking its total ever number of Emmys to 39 - beating the sitcom 'Frasier' by just one with its impressive 38 trophies.

    Upon hearing the news that 'Game of Thrones' had won Best Drama, co-writers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss rushed to the stage to collect their prize and make a speech.

    David couldn't resist singling out his wife Amanda Peet and three children Frankie, 13, Molly, six, and Henry, 21 months.

    He said as he clutched his gong: "Amanda Peet, it's our 10th anniversary in a week. Ten years of non-stop fun. I love you so much. Henry, Frankie, Molly, I love you three so much and I'm so sorry I'm going away next week, and I'm sorry."

    While David had pulled out all the stops with his emotional speech, his co-writer D.B. went for a more subtle approach.

    Addressing his wife Andrea and two children, he said: "Andrea, Leo, Hugo, you're the reason I get up in the morning. I love you all very much."

    Along with Best Drama, 'GOT' also won Best Directing for a Drama Series for Miguel Sapochnik's work and David and D.B. also won Best Writing for a Drama Series.
