背景知识:
艾美奖(Emmy Awards)是美国电视界的最高奖项,第一届颁奖礼举行于1949年,地位如同奥斯卡奖于电影界和格莱美奖于音乐界一样重要。黄金时段艾美奖(Primetime Emmy Awards)由电视艺术与科学学院(ATAS)颁发。日间艾美奖(Daytime Emmy Awards)由国家电视艺术与科学学院(NATAS)颁发。国际艾美奖由国际电视艺术与科学学院(IATAS)颁发。最初的时候这个奖的名字叫“伊米奖”(Immy),是早期摄像枪的重要部件——“图像正析像管”(Image Orˉthicon Tube)的绰号。1948年,在第一届的颁奖开始之前,由于奖座充满女性色彩,学院决定改名为“艾美奖”,这个名字一直沿用至今。

It was a British invasion at the 71st Emmy awards, with Game of Thrones taking home the prize for best drama and Phoebe Waller-Bridge"s Fleabag sweeping most of the comedy awards in a night that saw numerous nods to stars from across the pond. The biggest question heading into the night was whether Emmy voters would reward perennial juggernaut Game of Thrones for its divisive final season.
The show was nominated for 32 awards – the most for any single season of television ever – and had already won 10 Creative Arts Emmys last week. Game of Thrones took home the night"s final prize for outstanding drama series and a best supporting actor nod for American star Peter Dinklage – bringing its total to 12 awards and breaking its own record for the most awards given to a series – but was otherwise shut out of the telecast.
Instead, Fleabag emerged as the night"s big winner, upstaging Veep, HBO"s other Emmys mainstay in its final season, and last year"s darling The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. Fleabag, which originated as Waller-Bridge"s one-woman show at the Edinburgh festival fringe, took home the awards for outstanding writing, best comedy series and best directing.
第71届艾美奖颁奖典礼在大西洋彼岸的美国举行,晚会见证了巨星们的获奖成就,本届艾美奖英剧横扫多项大奖,《权力的游戏》赢得剧情类最佳剧集奖,菲比·沃勒-布里奇的《伦敦生活》横扫了大部分喜剧类奖项。当晚最大的悬念就是《权力的游戏》的烂尾是否会影响艾美奖投票者对这部经久不衰的电视剧的支持。
(权力的游戏)该剧获得了32项提名——这是电视剧单季提名最多的一部——而且上周还获得了10项创意艺术艾美奖。权力的游戏当晚赢得了剧情类最佳剧集奖,美国明星彼特·丁拉基夺得剧情类最佳男配角奖——该剧最终拿到12项艾美奖,打破了自己在创造的单届艾美奖最多获奖纪录——但是如今它已全剧终大结局了(落幕)。
结果《伦敦生活》成为当晚的大赢家,战胜了HBO另一位艾美奖劲敌《副总统》的最季终,以及去年备受喜爱的《了不起的麦瑟尔夫人》。《伦敦生活》最初是沃勒-布里奇在爱丁堡艺穗节上的单人喜剧,如今获得了最佳编剧奖、最佳喜剧类剧集奖和最佳导演奖。
