When it comes to the Drama section, 'Game of Thrones', 'The Americans', and 'The Crown' were tied with their total number of awards, however it was the HBO series which successfully won the award for Best Drama of the year. Peter Dinklage brought home the award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Tyrion Lannister, Matthew Rhys was awarded for his role as the protagonist in the series about Russian spies, which also won Best Script. For its part, the Netflix series recounting the life story of Elizabeth II received recognition due to the work of Claire Foy, who returned to her role in the second season this year, and for the direction of Stephen Daldry.
