Peter Dinklage sets new Emmys record for most supporting drama actor wins
Emmy voters always pay their debts to Peter Dinklage, and he just picked up a record-breaking win.
As expected, Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage won the Emmy Sunday for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. In doing so, he has now won that award more than anyone else: four times.
Previously, Dinklage was tied with Aaron Paul, who won three supporting dramatic actor Emmys for his role on Breaking Bad, TV Guide reports. But thanks to the final season of Thrones, Tyrion's now on top.

"I count myself so fortunate to be a member of a community that is all about tolerance and diversity because in no other place could I be standing on a stage like this," Dinklage said Sunday.
Dinklage, who won the prize in 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2019, also holds the record for most nominations in the supporting drama actor category, The Hollywood Reporter says. Though plenty of Emmys have yet to be given out, Dinklage is currently the only Thrones actor to win an Emmy so far tonight.
