For what TV series did Peter Dinklage win an Emmy in 2018?

Peter Dinklage won an Emmy in 2018 for Game of Thrones. He received the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, honoring his performance as Tyrion Lannister.

Dinklage had already become one of the show’s defining performers by that point. Game of Thrones premiered on HBO in 2011, and Tyrion’s intelligence, wit, political skill, and complicated family relationships made him a central character throughout the series.

The 2018 award was Dinklage’s third Emmy win for the role; he had previously won in 2011 and 2015. He later won a fourth Emmy in 2019 for the show’s final season, giving him four wins for portraying Tyrion.

A common mix-up is confusing the 2018 win with Dinklage’s 2019 Emmy. Both awards recognized him in the same supporting-actor category, but the 2018 honor was for Game of Thrones’ seventh season, while the 2019 award recognized the eighth and final season.
