The Oscars for box sets!

If television (or should we say box sets) is the new cinema perhaps the Emmys are the new Oscars?

Last night in LA the stars of American TV gathered for the annual Emmy Awards Ceremony, after the obligatory red carpet entrance the show began with Game of Thrones sweeping the board with a record breaking 12 wins!
For the TV buffs amongst us (me included) here’s the list of winners-probably coming to HBO/Netflix soon!
